    You want a Black-footed Cat there - 65% success rate, insanely high.

    Wild Dogs have an 85-90% rate but as you say, pack hunter!

    Forget about Manu not making top 4.
    They will.
    Chelsea and Leicester should too.
    Only unless Leicester get some big injuries to key players.

    Everton and West Ham will be close.

    Villa won't get there
    Arsenal may get close.
    Spurs won't. Son out for a month. I suppose their is a 3 week break more or less.

    Liverpool; it depends if they start scoring.
    Defensively hasn't really been a problem all season. Apart x2 games. 1. Villa 7 shots 7 reflections.
    And ALLISON cold feet.

    The key issue is the play being too slow going sideways. And Thiago not adapted to the EPL although recent signs show improvement.

    I guess that Fabinho back at no6 helps.
    Jota back helps.
    We need a bit of luck.
    And Mane needs to stop smoking.
    Awful firm the last 3 months.

    Goals, momentum.
    Unlikely but not improbable.
    Leicester and Chelsea's to lose.

    I just want a natural born hunter with single minded focus and an appetite for goals.

    Think Torres a fit Sturridge or a young Fowler.

    I think Leicester will struggle. Maddison and Barnes out. Vardy hadn’t scored since we played them. Iheanacho from nowhere just about keeping them going.

    We need to win all our remaining game and there is no excuse not to

    Jurgen and the coaching staff have THREE weeks to work with the players, analyse all the automation that worked so brilliantly last season and at the start of this, talk to and work with the players about what they feel works best for them, and analyse and put a lot of work into various parts of it that will serve us best in exploiting the weaknesses of all the teams we have left to play and beat them

    They will mostly be away on meaningless international duty no? So no 3 weeks to work with the players - I will just be happy if and when they return unscathed.

    I would be surprised if at least one of our players doesn't get injured whilst on International duty.

    Probably Keita, that would well and truly ruin our season...........
    Oh hang on a minute. It wouldn't.

    Keita gets fit for internationals
    They play him x2 90mins
    His body breaks down
    Even if liverpool say to play with care.
    They dont listen.

    Comes back injured 2 months to get fit again for country... so the cycle continues
