I'm hopeful. It's going to be very tough, all our rivals are finally sorting their problems and playing well and winning games. We definitely need to improve our performances.
We have to win these "easy fixtures" coming and try to avoid spankings by City and Chelsea
Despite how mixed our season has been I promise you Leicester, Burnley and Sunderland at home are 3 of the easiest fixtures we have left.
We need those games to build some confidence and score some goals. Perfect shooting practice for Falcao.
Rob
But equally our next 3 away games are very tricky too. West Ham, Swansea and Newcastle.
Our home form isn't the issue whether we get top 4 or not, it's our away form.
Falcao really needs to get some more goals under his belt. I'm actually starting to sympathise and worry for the guy.

Yes, West Ham away will be tough and I don't expect us to get anything more than a draw and we'll probably lose but I don't see anything about Swansea that scares me and Newcastle are on the slide because Ashley is too cheap to appoint a proper manager till the end of the season.
Southampton look like they'll be tough to shift and Arsenal are coming into some form now.
Spurs and Liverpool are also starting to threaten after unsure starts so things are getting a bit tight.
I know it's been hotly debated on here in recent weeks but we really need to sort the shape of the team and the personnel out asap because everyone else is getting their acts together.
LVG needs to believe in Falcao the way he believes in RVP, which means ne needs to give him playing time. We need Falcao to get a top four place.
At 1 point it looked as though we'd have struggled not finish top 4 given how poor the others were however it's going to be a right battle now, however, if we can find a system and line up that work then we are best placed to finish 3rd or 4th.
Think it will be arsenal and United for 3rd of 4th
Woah castor.....careful with predictions eh
Got_Better suprised you can post on Man utd board. Anyway 8th vs 7th a cup final for 7th spot next game for Liverpool.
How did your predictions go yesterday GB? You said United, Spurs, Arsenal and Southampton would all lose.
352 only works when you have a striker that is so clinical that he takes his chances. Strange, considering United have 3 world class forwards in Rooney, RVP and Falcao
One thing to take into account with our rivals is that they will soon be back to two games a week, so we might see a drop in their performances
VC,
Good point, but as you'll agree, we have to take responsibility for our own performances. If we rely on others slipping up, we're in trouble.
Berba
Totally agree. Others seem to be sorting out their problems, we need to do the same.
Luckily we have Arsenal and Spurs at home and City too. Hopefully Liverpool take the ITV4 cup seriously this season.
4th despite the injuries, new players adjusting, a defensive system and nobody playing particularly well. When LVG resolves these issues wel walk 4th.
This 4th this 4th that. I am more interested in a comfortable 3rd spot this season.
Yes but you are even less right in the head than Robb, Hafi.
We never finished 4th before, I hope we get 3rd to keep that record intact and not have to play CL qualifier.
