Another big, tough game coming up this weekend and another game that I expect to be very tight and short on goals. Smalling normally handles quality strikers very well so I completely expect him to have Kane in his pocket as usual. More concerned about whether we can compete in midfield. No doubt we can if he picks the right 2 but if he goes with either Carrick/Fellaini we'll lose it. Keep the attack the same as I've liked the fluidity and link up play between them the last few games.

Nothing to fear here, although Spurs will be well up for it, so we'll have to be at it to get a win. Damn interesting game from so many angles, really looking forward to it.

Beat them, and we're 6 points off Spurs with a game in hand. This could potentially be a truly amazing end to the season.
Anyway, no calculation required here: we must win every remaining game.

West Ham/Arsenal this weekend also so we could go to 2 points behind the gooners, though the Hammers would be on our tail. Not sure what outcome would be best there, maybe a draw so they aren't too angry/confident in the cup.
This will be tough and tight but we've a good record against the better sides and I'm feeling quietly confident that we can nick it.
I can see a couple of changes, the full backs particularly any of CBJ, TFM or Valencia to come in, Fosu Mensah I think after his display against Everton is worthy of a start. Young or Memphis maybe for Mata.
De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Mata, Lingard, Martial, Rashford.

one of 3 crucial games left with also Leicester coming to OT and a trip to West Ham away in the league.
Rest are surely must win games for 4th! Villa, Palace, Norwich, Bournemouth.
We have 4 of the remaining seven games at OT.
We probaly have to end the season unbeaten from now on with Shitty only having 2 tricky games vs. Chelsea and Arsenal which both could have nothing to play for at that time.
Sunday is VERY important. Don't fuck this up, Louis!

Sundays game scares me. Spurs are in second in the table for good reasons and United are fifth. Spurs are at home and our away Winning games record this season is rather poor. City who are fourth should beat West Brom. West Ham versus Arsenal looks every bit like a drawn game. So I do not expect much change in the Log. Only time will tell but we need every player on the pitch to be giving at least 98% and some luck too.

You'd have to be pleased with a score draw with this one. Plenty of points won and lost for all to come yet.

Villa and Palace next in the league, if we don't win those we may as well just withdraw from the CL ourselves and sack LVG effective immediately (especially if we don't beat Villa)
West Ham and Leicester are both incredibly difficult games, West Ham away, well you saw how Arsenal did, they only drew cause the ref helped their case, have to really be at the top of our game to get a point out of that, Leicester at home, depends how they play, they've been average as of late.
Should be Norwich easily (should)
West Ham again away will be difficult
and Bournemouth at home is an easy win
so
Villa - W
Palace - W
West Ham - L
Leicester - D (i think)
Norwich - W
West Ham - L
Bournemouth - W
13 points out of 21, i hardly think that will get us back into the top 4 if we don't win today unless City really mess it up

Why've you got West Ham twice?
Anyway let's see where we are after today, City have some tricky matches so it's doable.

Anyway let's see where we are after today, City have some tricky matches so it's doable. away also. i think it was due to it being postponed over something City aren't going to only pick up 9 points from 21 (if we lose here), whilst City's schedule is rough, they're getting more than that |

also Mike Dean as ref. we're screwed
can we send Fellaini as a sacrificial lamb to slide tackle him and bring in a decent ref
