Leicester could still block us on goal difference.
Highly highly unlikely. If we win the next three then Leicester (if they lose at Chelsea) would have to beat Spurs by at least three (assuming we win each of our games by only 1 goal)

That also depends on how many goals Chelsea score. Considering their form, I wouldn't be surprised if they win by 3.
 
But he followed through, badly, on Philips and, under the new rule, just being first to the ball means nothing if your follow through could injure an opponent. It was very clear cut : even Keane and Souness were in agreement ... penalty.

Christ I would have amassed a few sending offs in my career if that was the rule back in those days.

No it doesn't matter if we win all three. It's possible we need to beat Leicester on GD but not Chelsea. I posted a full breakdown on page 16.

Win at United (Top 4 is now in our own hands)
Leicester 66
Chelsea 64
Liverpool 60 (1 game in hand on L & C and their next game is CFC vs LCFC)
At this stage I'd rule West ham and Everton out of contention despite any mathematical possibilities.

No, I meant that Chelsea might beat Leicester by 3 goals, meaning a -3 in goal difference for Leicester making it even harder for them.
 
Was well up for that for that and well, it didn't let me down.

So funny they're crying about missing maguire. Did they not notice were missing 5(five) centre backs?

Alisson - didn't fill with confidence. Lucky to get away with terrible mistake to cavani 5

Tta - amazing. Brilliant at the back and front. playing right back, right wing and centre mid. 10

NVP - I'm gonna forgive the OG, but set up equaliser. Overall excellent 8

Rhys - did enough. For a youngster against that attack awesome 8

Robbo - better than of late going forward and dependable at the back. Would still like him to get tighter on occasion. 8

Thiago - solid. Still think there's more to come but did everything expected 8

Gini - played well. More forward drive than usual 8

Mo - to be honest a little quiet but we all knew he'd seal it didn't we? 8

Bobby - best performance since I don't know when. Just so happy he's back 9

Jota - constant threat, great finish. Love him. 8

Klopp - got it right when it was easy to get it wrong. Mane didn't start. Williams at Vindicated. 10

Don't agree about Williams. Philips was covering for him all game. I think he also was caught in no mans land in the build up for Rashford's goal. Should have stepped up and pressed Cavani, but instead he gave him all the time in the world to play Rashford on goal.
 
So, if we win our remaining games we make the CL?
Yes, mathematically still possible, just because Chelsea and Leicester will face each other, one of them obviously will drop points in that game 😉. But it is even the thought of winning 3 games against nothing clubs seems somehow far off given our weird season.
 
I just texted a Man U supporting friend that Williams and Philips had zero PL games between them before this season.

Very very generous there mate :

Ali - 7 (upgraded to 7 when I think about it)
TAA - 9 MotM
NVP - 8
Rhys - 6
Robbo - 6.5
Thiago - 7
Gini - 6
Mo - 8
Bobby - 8
Jota - 8

Mane - 5, poor control as usual and still trying to win FKs by dropping to the floor (and I'm very pissed off at him refusing to high five Klopp with a definite no and shake of his head)

Burnley will do their utmost to fuck it up for us, but hey, one game at a time.
 
We would have an extra goal in our goal difference and been fresher for the West Brom game.
True, but I'd like to believe that the players instead gained confidence from this game and that it carries over to the next game.
