Tottenham want this we don’t want it as much, the last few games tell a true tail. They are hungry and there starting 11 look strong, quick and look dangerous. We look like we are playing for a draw, not loosing but not looking enough for a win. Now who is down to us playing like this? Mancini or the players?.

Does Mancini want us to finish 4th? of course he does. Do the players want it? Not sure if they are that arsed ( Not all but a few).

My prediction on 4th spot will go to spurs because, 1 they deserve it and 2 they want it more than our players.

Your going mainly off the last two games though, united and arsenal who are very difficult games. Arsenal we done very well to get a draw. We still have a very good chance of getting 4th.

I can see your point,the one thing slightly concerning me is Tevez. He hasn't seemed his usual self the last couple matches, don't know if it's burn out or whatever, but he's not been getting involved as much as he normally does.

His energy and drive kind of carries the team and motivates them, when he doesn't play well, we look a bit pedestrian.

We do have a good chance, but getting a result against Villa (3pts) and then beating Tottenham is a BIG ask with the current squad and the way they are playing.

Our players must have been starving when they played Burnley and Birmingham, whereas your spurs are only hungry.

I think our lot are due another feed.

Tottenham conceded 3 against Arsenal so that means they don't deserved it and we do.

You are spot on with Tevez, I am seeing the same thing. I am sure its down to being tierd or maybe its the world cup? but hes making sure he keeps injury free.

Totally agree with the OP.

Look at performances against Chelsea and Arsenal. Attack was their best form of defence and it worked for them. We have better players, a higher profile manager. Good backing staff, the players don't want it as much as them.

It's disgusting. All the money they are paid and they don't want to get better, aren't bothered about taking the football club, who pay their massively inflated wages, to the next level. Away from mediocrity.

Shameful. (And yes, if you've read some of my other posts tonight, I'm not in a happy mood).

Tevez has had an off 2 games.. Sorry but it happens. Maybe he has bit of an injury.

Without disrespect that's aload of bollocks.

Spurs and us want Champions League the same, no more, no less.

Don't mix up form with wanting it.
