United don't even have to win tomorrow. They should let us win for the pure banter.
With Arsenal, United and Chelsea literally a point behind them they will surely bottle it.
Hopefully that will reinvigorate our players a bit, gives us a stronger chance of top 4 if we beat Man U. On paper We’ve got easier run in compared to the others, so long as we don’t feck it up, we should have a real chance. Most likely if spurs drop out it’ll be Man U and Chelsea to take top 4. But hopefully this can give us a better belief
From the UTD's game being a "must win" game, with the Spurs result it is now a "must not lose" game.
We have to beat United and I think we will; the players and fans will be up for it.
Your so called easy run in includes plenty of fairly hard away games. You've not kept a clean sheet away all season. I can see you losing most of those away games. Burnley, Leicester etc.
Your away form has to improve if you are to get 3rd or 4th. Even if you beat us tomorrow I'd fancy us to finish ahead of you.
Its actually not a must win. Would be good for momentum but a draw would also keep us in it.
United will get least a point that means they are 2 behind Spurs. If Chelsea win the 2 games in hand they are ahead of all 3 teams.
Spurs have Pool and City coming up and then extra 2 Cl games means more rotation from Poch.

Lose to Leicester and Burnley?
Right so all our away games are actually against Mid-table teams with nothing much to play for. Playing teams away fighting for their lives is far more difficult as Spurs found out.
We are a scrappy team and not going away.

Why?
Fack United and Chelsea.
We may have fluffed our lines last week, but a win tomorrow puts us just a point off 3rd place.
Spurs losing makes a draw acceptable tomorrow. We obviously can’t lose. I do feel we need the win more than United and might beat them tomorrow. Thankfully they have no Herrera and Lingard.
Think Herrera is fit again
Chelsea look worse away from home than we do right now. Still a lot of twists to come I feel.
So after tomorrow:
Chelsea - Man Utd (away) and Liverpool (away)
Man Utd - Chelsea (home) and Man City (home)
Spurs - Liverpool (away) and Man City (away)
All teams will drop points against those we don't expect. So will we. But lets not start ruling out Arsenal for the top 4 if don't get a win tomorrow.

Well we still have a chance if we lose tomorrow but I would make us rank outsiders. A draw gives us a chance but still reckon we need to win all our home games if we want to get top 4.

Not in the travelling Manu squad, I hear.
Remember we are going through changes and this season was a transition. But one thing that Emery has done is made us more resiliant. We have been written off from the start of the season. But right now we are still in it and will be still in it after tomorrow. All teams are going to drop points. Even Man City are just fluking it at the moment. So as I expected from the very start. Lets take it one game at a time and have a little more belief!

All of this.
All of what you say is true Jenius all you have to do is compare our squad to the teams around us and it’s easy to see why we are still outsiders for top 4. It doesn’t help the I don’t believe Emery is getting the best out of the players at his disposal, particularly with key players like Auba, Ozil, Xhaka

He's not. But Matic is.
And you're missing Toreira which is a big loss. Don't see anyone else being remotely good enough to stop Pogba in your side. Pogba is fresh too having missed the Paris game.
Reasonably confident we can beat you again. Lukaku n Rashford in form and Martial is back too. Don't think your defence is good enough to cope.

How is that? This team capitulated last two years in a row. The same players! Its why as you say, we have a weaker squad on paper!
For me the jury is still out on Emery. But as I have said from the time he was appointed Emery has a 2 year contract and we have an option for 3rd. His job is to get us back into the Champions League if he wants to stay.
I have gone through these managerial transitions in the past. I remember Rioch. Emery is doing very good compared to that!
