We should lock this thread on the eve of the cup games. it's going to be discussed... just not the day of.... shudder. Makes my superstitious bones crawl seeing this top.
Non believers, do one. This is within our sights now. I don’t want to hear ‘it’s impossible’. We’ve laid the ground work for this to be possible. I believe we’re better than any other team left in the respective competitions were in.
Whatever Nate Silver says on football, I ignore. We've been his heavy favourite for the CL for several seasons.
Our top players will have played a few more than PSG and Real players - on the other hand, both are still likely to be fighting for their leagues until the last day. I would worry Neymar would sit on his arse saving himself for us.
Tottenham worry me too. Jose is quite capable of throwing everything possible into the mix to win that one day.
But Chelsea are fighting for top four as well at the CL. I think we should be good enough to beat them when it matters. I'd absolutely eat a loss to them in the league to help us be fresh in the CL. I don't know if they can afford to do the same.
Victims of own success at this point with the fixtures now.
Something has to give. If we could play our best team then rest and repeat, I would give us a reasonable chance of the 4 but we aren’t going to get that.
I hope blues bear that in mind. If we go full out for all four we will probably lose at least 2.
Tricky task for Pep to manage this. Shame we have no Sergio to call on.
