good result the Chelsea loss, but Fulham winning and only 3 points behind us and we have to still visit them.

those home games vs Bournemouth and Villa and the away game to Fulham are real 6 pointers.

Fulham go to Arsenal the day before we play Leicester so if things go to plan we could be 6 points above them, still have to look for a 4th spot finnish and if things go tits up we can fall back on 5th

If the Villa game gets moved due to FA Cup SF (looking quite likely as you'd expect Villa to beat Preston regardless of what result we get at Bournemouth), those fixtures could end up being the final three games of the season.

When was the last time we easily done anything? That's the sort of complacency has us were we are. We have to earn it, it's not going to be handed to us.

My point is that we will earn it. Comfortably.

The other teams fighting for top five aren’t brilliant themselves (hence why they’re only fighting for top 5).

We aren’t at our best, but we’re good enough to earn more points than the other clubs around us (given how easy our fixtures are now).

I so hope you're right.

Whilst that's not happy reading maybe it can work in our favour - gives us plenty of time to get a system/line-up that works with what we have.
 
We haven't been playing that badly recently but we're not clinical enough. Things just aren't coming off, but we need to make braver decisions and improve our passing, it's been awful at times.
I can't believe Pep can't see it and is not working on it.
The players need to up their game though.
Too many have gone missing and some seem like they're always out of form.
Come on lads, you're better than this!

I do expect it to click and we'll go on a run and still think we'll finish in the Top 4.

Our form is still poor. Current 16th in the form table… We’re not as bad as we were Nov/Dec time, the new signings have helped and the fixtures are ok but its 50/50 for 4th. Luckily 5th may well do it…!!

That depends on what timescale you take. The last 6 games are more relevant than the last 29.

As it's a whole season, I kind of take the whole thing mate! We have had a very difficult run of games. It gets easier. I would say our final 9 are easier than the majority of teams we are battling. We still need to take the points, but I don't rule us out because of current form. Win the next league game and positivity returns.
 
Feel a bit better after today's results but we really need to finish Top 4.

5th place is a play off in the middle of fucking Summer!

Last thing we need is a 2 legged play off, throw in the possibility of winning the Cup and Charity Shield qaulifation.

Could be an extra 3 games before we even start on next season!
