City can win 3 games and get 70, and they have easy games.
Newcastle still have to play Brighton away, Chelsea home and Arsenal away in their 5 games.
Forest have Palace away and Chelsea at home last match
Chelsea have Liverpool at home, Newcastle away, Man Utd at home and forest in their games

I can see Chelsea slipping up but we also need one of Forest and Newcastle to as well. Don't think we will catch city.

I think if we win all 4 then we can do it, I don't know what the odds of 5 teams in a points race all winning all their last 4 or 5 games is but it has to be enormous.

One problem this year is that after this weekend all the other teams in the league probably have nothing left to play for.

I'll still say yes, but if we don't he needs the FA Cup win, which unfortunately will probably be against Citeh.

We will get europa league via the cup or final league position, no question.
Unfortunately we won’t get the big one, the one that matters

Big ask now. Need to win all 4 games I suspect. Tonight was very disappointing and uncharacteristically weird from Unai.

Desasi for Cash was odd, but Rogers is Unai’s understandable blindspot. He was dreadful from
start to finish and other players have been hooked at h/t for better performances. Im pretty convinced we had so little threat as Rashford was so isolated with Rogers offering nothing tonight. He’s been brilliant for us, but body language was all wrong. He was also lucky not to get a second yellow at one point, an utterly strange performance, but Unai was culpable in not bringing him off earlier.

Rogers was dreadful and looked knackered, and he was actively unhelpful once booked. Leaving him on and having Disasi are right back was a massive error and cost us the game. It’s very tough from here, I think we need to win 4 out of 4.

The problem I  have, it’s not like he does not have options.

The remaining games are all winnable.

For other clubs, yes. We aren't beating Man U.

He does make up to 5 subs a game so it's not as if he never makes any. Tonight he made the wrong ones.

Yes we are, and it will make it all the sweeter if it confirms top 5. Bournemouth away is the one I'm concerned about.

I think he left Malen off for so long because he felt he wouldn't track back enough. However McGinn for Rogers instead of Ramsey was the initial call.

I think we're done.

We need to win all 4 of our games; and I don't think we will.

I don't even think 3 wins and a draw will be enough; unless two of Forest, Chelsea and Newcastle shit the bed.
