If you did a current form table table for the last 4, 6, 10, 15 or 20 league games Liverpool would be above us in none of them points wise.

I think the next two league games are huge - entirely winnable, but equally both present their challenges. Leeds have been decent, albeit mostly at home, but they have spirit about them. Also it doesn’t matter how bad Wolves are, it’s always a battle when we play them.

If we win them both I think it becomes almost quite hard not to qualify. But my gut feeling is we’re going to need to find some attacking rhythm again and start upping our scoring rate.

Nah, 2 x 1-0 grindfests will be fine.

Yes my point is I don’t think we’ll be able to sustain that. If we do it I’m fine with it, obviously, but my suspicion is we need to find a spark again or the pressure will be so tough to cope with.

I think we’re lulling them all into a false sense of security Paul. We’ll lose at Old Trafford as usual then win every game to the end of the season.

Ha ha well that’s one circumstance where I could handle a defeat there.

I think Chelsea have the most difficult run-in and will miss out barring a collapse from us of course!

Hopefully that will do for them, plus I haven't been totally convinced by them. I can see Yanited overtaking us, but Liverpool are probably too far back unless our form really drops off. Fourth it is then, which would still be a fantastic achievement.

We really can’t afford too many more injuries as we are already looking pretty vulnerable.
So I am not counting any chickens.

This is my biggest worry. I have every faith that we'll drag ourselves over the line with the current set up, what with SJM and Youri due back at some point, but if we lose Rogers, Onana and/or Luiz for any decent stretch, I think we'll find it exceptionally difficult to find ways to win games. We are in desperate need of playmakers and they're about as good as we have for the moment.

If we lose Rogers in particular we’re screwed.

It wouldn't advantage us, for sure.

But I don't think we're a one-man team.

Indeed. Losing Rogers now vs when Tielemans and SJM are back would completely change my outlook on it, though naturally both scenarios are bad.
