Bournemouth have their second win in 10. We've just won our 6th league game out the last 7. There's some interesting takes spouted on the Internet at times.
We have been flat 3 games in a row.
I think it is something to do with selection and tactics, we are going to need to be very good to beat Bournemouth.
We will need to be at our best to beat Bournemouth, I'd play Onana as Kamara looks absolutely knackered. Whatever chances we get we need to put away, unlike yesterday. I think we'll beat Spurs, but you can guarantee Roland Rat will score for UTD in the last game and we'll need to score 2 or 3 to get a win there.

Not sure if Mings combative style or Torres trying to find the spaces on a tight pitch is the better option at Bournemouth. Emery seems to be sticking with Pau now though.

The pitch won't be any tighter than usual in fairness .

We played okish yesterday and still should have won 4 0 , fulham did f@@k all but their handball goal.     Bourmenth had 2 efforts on target against a crap arsenal team yesterday , If the players are up for this after another weeks rest , we can win there and we owe them for VP 1-1, when we was all over them .   Still going to be dropped points of the other teams so we are still in this 100% and you know the players will really want chumps league now again ..

It just looks tinpot and small but I guess that's the camera angle in a small ground.

Well Liverpool certainly didn’t look like champions today did they!  Doesn’t help when he makes 6 changes though.

We’ll have to win every game to do it.  And if we do, we’ll have deserved it. 

Liverpool today have been a joke.

We need Palace to show up now against Forest, a Forest win would be a killer blow for us I fear..

I still think if we win the remaining 3 we’ll get there. But that remains a big ask and obviously it doesn’t guarantee anything.

We can win all our remaining games. Fulham was the most difficult one and we won it. Our run in is favorable enough. What I fear most is running out of games.

Yeah I think that's it , the pitches are generally more or less the same size .

I do think it hinges on us winning the remaining 3. If we don’t do that then it’s very difficult for us. But if we do it basically means:

Chelsea and Newcastle can do no worse than 2 wins from 3 to finish in front of us - and they play each other.

The minimum Forest would have to do is win 2 of 3, or if they don’t win tomorrow they’d have to win all 3 (and they play Chelsea).

I think Bournemouth was the most difficult game, even before yesterday. Win that and I’ll feel relaxed about Spurs, then back to shitting myself about our Man U curse.

Uhmm

Not sure you’re really adding anything there…

You say you think we’ll get there if we win our remaining three.

But that’s a big ask.

But even if we do, it doesn’t guarantee anything.

So…
