We ain’t getting top 4. These players will fully down tools. A lot of them won’t be here next season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You saying that though is like a fat person wanting dessert. Inevitable.
Arsenal will beat Villa today
Do we even want top 4?
It'll be like the happy ending that most of these players don't deserve.

It’ll help the next manager massively so it’s very important
Of course Spurs could get 4th too but let’s just pretend they don’t exist for a moment here.

How convenient!

Might not be the worst thing to clear house and with no top four force your scouting/coaching team to look a bit harder for players.
Recruitment at united has been horrendous for 10 years now.
Kind of hope Villa get something today to make the top 4 race interesting. Coutinho to do the business?
Utd fans will be in the weird position of supporting Steven Gerrard today

True but we’d be stuck with Europa league which in itself is a ball ache and in some ways incentivises clubs to keep pointless squad players for those games. If we don’t get top 4 I really wouldn’t be upset if we finished low enough to avoid Europe altogether. In terms of bringing in players I don’t think there’s any difference between no Europe and having Europa games.

yeah, a Coutinho backpass to Lacazette is probably more likely.

We’re one point outside the top 4. We really do.
Come on villa !
I can’t stand Arteta and his whinging
He thinks he is Pep , more like a pup with all his yapping
Loved what conte said yesterday ….basically telling him to shut up without saying it

Lets not do this again Robb.
But I do hope you turn out to be right .
Maybe start to think about Spurs too again, after todays game?

I will leave you with this one fact. Since Ralf took over we’ve gained more points than anyone bar City and Liverpool. We’re nowhere near as bad as some of the people who’ve given up on us think.
Huge match for Arsenal today. They've been the only top 4 candidate capable of consistency in recent months. If they can win away at a tough Villa team I think they're pretty much a shoo-in for top 4.
United and Spurs need them to falter to have a chance given the inconsistency of both.

If Arsenal do win my belief will of course plummet a bit, however as you say, it’s a tough place to go and Villa have found a bit of form recently themselves. Should be a good game

Yeah if they win today I think that’s shows they have the metal to get 4th
I agree with Rob here. There is still a chance even if it is a long shot.
The players may just be thinking to themselves (indeed even selfishly) that if they don't do the business these last few games then things won't get any better for them in their careers. None of them, on present form at least, will go on to bigger and better things and be on the same money.
I suspect it'll be a bridge too far though and we'll finish 5/6th place. I don't mind the Europa though as long as we don't keep a bloated squad for it. Us it to blood youngsters/give squad players games and then, if struggling in the PL, use it to try and get CL qualification. If nothing else it's still good European experience for the players and we shouldn't look down on a trophy we could actually win. That's where we are at present.
The beautiful thing about football though is things can change pretty quickly. Back in 2015 I doubt many LFC fans would see them win the CL and get 97 points in a season within the next 3.5 years. As ever we just need to get things right. Keeping Ralf and getting him to work with a progressive manager with a plan would be a start. Ten Hag would be my choice but, in the last few weeks, I've kind of warmed to the idea of Poch if we can get some hard working players in for him. Having a team on the pitch giving their all for 90mins would be am upgrade now and would also mean we should win most games as we can still attract better quality than most. Remember we only play 6 games v City, CFC and LFC. There's also another 32 games against teams we should be better than even during such a poor season as this.
Feels like a big day, to see how arsenal respond to a defeat. Last time we beat them they followed it up with draw at home to Burnley.
A win today would show their character and the writing is on the wall for United and Spurs. Dropped points on the other hand would really open the door.
