There is no bastard way we’re getting there unless something changes and Unai switches on. We are in a proper spiral. Well unless CL means Conference League, in which cases we’re firing on all cylinders for that.

Hurts like hell at the moment but we all would have snapped the proverbial hand for being right in contention through two routes for the Champions League at this stage of the season.

Margins are razor-thin across the league, anyone can take points off another. We need a lift, hopefully a tweak to Unai's stubborn structure, I don't think it's outlandish to suggest it will change. We've come through bad runs before, we will again.

For all the things Monty rightly rails about, Super John McGinn stands against and our Meatball is on the way to save the day!

Somewhere else there’s a debate about hindsight. So if we don’t qualify for the  champions league, what are the 5 main reasons it did or did not happen.
Say it now. Both sides. Not necessarily in order.

(It’s hard to say the “did” part after such an awful run).

Did:

Tielemans playing his best ever football.
Kamara and McGinn playing consistently great.
Cash’s upturn in form and Rogers goal contributions
Unai’s tactics
Failings of other sides


Didn’t

Injuries
Poor January transfer window
Poor overall recruitment (summer and previous)
Tactical inflexibility from Unai
FFP

It’s a mini league of us, Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool. 
3 will make it.
1 won’t. 
On our current form and tactics.  We will be the 1.

Nope. Downward spiral now. Too inflexible and players clueless. We should not be this shit with the team we have. Emery likely will go after this season. FFP fucked us hard but we always get a nosebleed at the top. This is as good as we will get😥

FFP hasn’t helped. 
But my god the players we did land in the summer and January have been mostly awful.

Probability says we can't be shit forever. I'm still a believer. Just.
