Match reaction v Watford away

[selassie]

NLD's gonna be crucial.

And the home team usually wins those.

Even though we are more likely to lose than win I am a lot more confident this season going into the NLD away than I have ever been. What I won't be confident with is having to go there and beat them in a straight shoot out for 4th place, I am hoping by then we will be in a very strong position where a loss or a draw won't be too damaging.

We had a good weekend by beating Leicester and obviously the Spuds lost.
I am also hoping that by the time we play them at the shit hole, we are a bit more comfortable points wise.
The annoying thing is that I am believing we will get fourth...bloody optimism

Me too mate, I think we are in a strong position. We have some difficult games coming up but our current form and performance level is very good so if we keep it up we will be ok.

I'm pretty relaxed about it all right now, tbh. I'm sure we've got a couple of slips in us still, but crucially I just don't think any of our main rivals for 4th are capable of putting together the kind of winning streak they'll need to take advantage of it - they're very much WLWLWL, and I don't see that changing any time soon. United have a fundamental mismatch between the players they have and the kind of philosophy and culture Rangnick wants to implement to contend with, and half of that spurs team will know that Conte doesn't rate them (esp. after his many outbursts) and will try to ditch them as soon as the window opens. I just can't see either set of players really digging deep and pulling it out the bag for their respective managers when they know that success for those managers could put their own positions at risk.

I wish I was relaxed about it.

Missing out on Top 4 would be bad. Missing out on Top 4 to Spurs would be unbearable
