I don't know why I keep reading this thread.

 

Kill Everton = Qualify for CL

 

Other permutations are a distraction.

Better then worrying about what happens if we can’t beat Everton at home

69 points for City would get them CL guaranteed. If they win today they will have 68 points.  Meaning they will need a draw to secure CL.  

 

It’s all going down to the last game regardless. 

 

We would need to win vs Everton to have any chance of going above City if they win today. If we beat Everton we get top 5 regardless. If they win today, their result vs Fulham will never affect whether or not we get top 5. That's all.

 

Edit: someone already answered.

I mean people talk about Fulhams motivation for the last game etc. Just pointing out that it doesn't matter for us in terms of top 5 anyways if Man City win today. We bring up small details every day all year on this forum. In most threads.

 

I kind of get your point, but I'm not sure why you react to this specifically when it happens all the time. In a forum people will talk about everything.

Just think, you could be two games away from losing the final and finishing 17th in the Premier League.

 

Fingers crossed!

You are right and you are just talking about the permutations.

 

I've long looked at it like we needed to beat those few teams, maybe pickup a draw somewhere on the road which we did and we qualify for the CL. Needing to win against Everton to secure it. I feel like everything has gone to plan so far and we need to only focus on the one thing.

 

The only thing that hasn't gone to plan is we've picked up more injuries than expected. Getting Trippier and Isak back would be brilliant.

It's true that your predictions have been spot on so far in terms of what games are the most difficult ones to get the points from. Although Arsenal were a bit lucky, that one was allways going to be tough. Especially when Rice was starting. Not sure we would have beaten Chelsea 11 vs 11 tbh, but hard to say as our tactic could have been different.

Fulham don't have anything to play for except pride and the joy of potentially stopping Man City getting CL football. So, they certainly won't just lie down for the almighty Man City, they'll put up a fight and City could be a bit nervy. 

[Superior Acuña]

Mad that if just Bruno hadn't scored that second right at the end last week, we'd be going into the last day on same points and GD as Chelsea. Ahead cos of 2 more goals scored.

Yep, that goal has helped ease a lot of the permutations.

I just think that was always the path - needing to beat Everton to secure CL but it being in our hands. With a bit of luck we could’ve won at Brighton or drawn Arsenal, had we setup more defensive against Villa maybe got a result there but the 1 point we got was a pivotal point.  
 

Villa and Chelsea have done better than I expected but Forest and City have done worse so we’ve landed about the same. 
 

We are in a great position. After the announcement I don’t expect Doucoure to start or play meaningful minutes.  Would assume he doesn’t want to get injured.

you and i in sync this week my man.

Only just seen Villa’s away record at Old Trafford, it’s terrible. I think they drop points.

[wyn davies]

Man City  v Bournemouth, are they able to do us a favour and at least draw this to talr a bit of heat away. or are City dead on to win .

Bournemouth were pathetic against Villa. I wouldn’t hold your breath.
