The battle for 3rd place

I thought Yaya was by some margin our best player yesterday. If anything was fair he would have been mom.

he played well but only in the last 15 mins of normal time did he really start to have an influence....he did keep us ticking in his usual way but he stepped up int he las 15 mins to try and take the game by the scruff of the neck...he didnt manage it however
 
The reason we have fallen short is because of the old guard is old. The future of MCFC are players like Sane, Sterling and Jesus. Not Toure and Zabaleta
 
Personally feel we will be better off not making top 4. Look at the confidence Chelsea and Utd will take into next season.

Let's have a season with less pressure and smash the league and a cup

Pep needs 5 new players they will need time to adjust. Pressure will be intense on the whole club to deliver next year and we have no chance of winning champs leg yet so no point.

Smash the rags on Thursday and I will be content under all circumstances.

Clear out the old and bring on a new look city next season
 
If Palace do the business today, there is a chance we could finish 2nd!

I expect us to win 5 out of the last 6. A bit of context, our last 3 results have been a 3-1 win V Hull, a 3-0 win away at Southampton and a 1-1 draw after 90mins V Arsenal. It's not that bad

I think a lot of fans would prefer to fall out and go all out for the league, however the club won't see it that way.

The Champions League is the absolute be all and end all for those who run the club.

Financially, in regards to sponsorship, player attraction, it's absolutely massive.

Yes good point. Hope they could see it as 1 step back 3 forward.

We need a season with less pressure, although appreciate we will always have that. Also think the atmosphere will rapidly change for the better at home. Too much pressure on fans and players.

The team needs a huge clean up. Big summer coming up. It just shows how far we have come with fans saying give champs league a miss! Lol

Massively massive.
 
As the cliche goes if we take one game at a time and guard against complacency we should take one of the Champions League places (fingers crossed we avoid the qualifying round).

We will finish 3rd. Our games from now till the end of the season are all winnable and we are too good a side to drop more points than united and Liverpool.
 
I think we'll be OK, looking at the run-ins. The return of Jesus will give us a big lift.
 
Don't want to become complacent but win the next two games and we're pretty much there for me. Rags will drop points with their fixture list and the Europa league
