I’m sure City will still manage to make Top 4, meaning Chelsea are likely our competition for that 4th spot and they don’t have to worry too much about Europe with the size of their squad.

I won’t write it off, but let’s see where we are at Christmas. If we can get into a position we’re beating sides in the bottom half with regularity we have a chance.

Liverpool and Arsenal shoe in. City will end up top 4. I just don't see us having a better season compared to this Chelsea side. Our route to the champions league should be the Europa in my opinion. I feel it is our best chance that route.

u canknot jussed aim too win Europa League ffs

u said it u dumby

ur abootthe 6rd bessed team in Europa anyways

Top 4 will be too much to ask I think this season. Can't see us finishing above City or Chelsea.

I think you will give us a good game on Wednesday.

We probably won't have Partey or Merino and gabriel is a potential doubt.

Saying that, United always turn up v us

Which of these strikers do you think currently has the most league goals?

Nunez
Jota
Nkunku
Ferguson
Gakpo
Calvert Lewin
Beto
Antonio
Kudus
Joao Felix
Zirkzee

This!

Chelsea squad is just better than ours . Pep is going to find an answer to this terrible run.

It's understandable not to get ahead of ourselves this early on under Amorim, nevertheless I don't see why we can't finish top 4.

If Livpl, Arsnl, City were solid and we had to fight it out against Chelsea for that 4th spot I think it would be difficult. But City, the way they look we're more than capable of taking them.

They haven't won a game since 26th Oct. They've lost 4 on the bounce in the league. If we can take anyone's place it's theirs.

If Amorim is the real deal then top 4 is a possibility. You're only 4 points away currently. So much of the season to go with such a small points gap. You can't rule anything out other than winning the title.

So city are title contenders and aren't even in the top 4? If we are in contention for top 4, then we are title challengers as well..

Nobody is in contention other than Liverpool. But yes, you would have as much chance as City now.

5th place likely gets top 4 this season anyway doesn't it? And looks like we'll win the Europa League this season as well.

Actually you're wrong. Top 4 gets you 5th place this season. This is why Man City are actively trying to avoid it.

To be honest we should have scored 12 in ten hag first game against Everton at home and 5 or 6 in the next. Today we barely created anything but still scored 4 lol. ten hag must be thinking were they deliberately missing last 2 years? Sporting probably would have gone the whole season unbeaten and winning every league game with Amorim imo.

For ten hag to get sacked we had to have the worst big chance conversion rate in history of football.😂

Forget top 4, I don’t think we’re ready to compete for that this season.

Route to CL should be through the Europa, which I think is winnable.

Ironically if we do win the Europa League, it means 5th place would get top 4. Which is good for us because it means that the likes of Spurs will have CL distraction next season

United won't finish in the top 4 this season. The sooner fans accept this the better.

Arsenal a draw would be great but as OP said they are flying and United as just about on the runway. Win lose or draw lets not look too much into the mid week result.

Wow, what happened to the Amorim needs time and let's not over-react to results early on?

I have always felt this about the squad regardless of who is in charge - it is not as bad as it looked under ETH, and it was hard to gauge how good it could be. Top 4 is a possibility, because the individual talent in the squad can compete with the likes of Chelsea, Spurs, Villa etc, but with Amorim settling in and trying out things, it's more likely that we will be too inconsistent to get top 4, but you just can't completely rule it out because everyone is pretty much beating everyone for that 4th place.

But there is still a significant gap between 4th place, and really challenging for the title, which we are nowhere near to be honest - any type of non-losing result at Arsenal wouldn't change my mind on that in the mid to long term.

But it's nice to score goals, even when we haven't played well, and the general optimism is better than what we have felt in recent months.

What I like is that Amorim knows 'it wasn't a 4-0 winning performance' and there is lots to work and improve on.

The media will overhype everything as always, but I think most fans know not to get too carried away

Let's just say whoever loses on Wednesday, United or Arsenal, is out of the title race.
