    Ordinarily I would agree but looking at the games we have lost this season - you would think better European sides more likely to attack us and leave space. Against the sitters we have been shutters

    Chelsea are probably the only team standing between us and finishing 4th, they haven't had a bad run under Tuchel yet, but i'm pretty sure they won't go unbeaten in the games remaining. We have to make sure we close the gap and overtake them when they slip up. I knew we wouldn't walk away with the league again, but i never expected us to be in this position with so few games left.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Champion's League win is probably likelier, but even if we call it a 10% shot and Top Four a 5% shot, you certainly want to try for both.

    Full strength in the Champion's League (don't necessarily need to win games, draws largely fine) and 80% strength domestically. Both are paths to Champion's League football, one has THE trophy at the end of the Road.

    Try to do both, prioritise the Champion's League. If we managed to go on a run domestically (nobody is suggesting that's easy, we might lose at the first hurdles against Wolves and Arsenal!) then gaps can shrink quickly.

    Let's hope we can beat Wolves - would be lovely to get a foot on the first rung of the Ladder after the Leipzig game - especially now we are getting players back from injury.
    Think it's more likely we'll have to win all 10. As poor as we've been you wouldn't put it past us.

    We have to go full tilt from here until the end of season. The intensity has to be there every game of we're going to have any chance!

    Based on the lack of 'intensity' and 'dynamism' in our play this season, even if we do play at what passes for 'full tilt' this season, I still don't think it will be enough. We are relying on far too many other teams to either repeatedly drop points and/or do us a lot of favours.

    Next season can't come quick enough.
    Too many games shoe-horned into a very short season.

    Depends on whether its Liverpool or not.
