I would be concerned if we hadn't at the very least matched all the top sides this season when we've played them, was just one of them games today where we didn't even really start.


Exactly. Apart from Arsenal and Man City. Have any teams in the league not had ‘a bad day at the office’ and one of those games where every player is miles off it? 
 

Luckily for us, we’ve only really had one where it’s lasted the full game and that’s the only loss of 4 in the league. Where we have been comprehensively beaten and played off the park. 
 

After 30 games, that’s not bad going. If it started becoming a regular occurrence and it happened next week, then against Brighton and others. Then obviously that would be a concern.

It really isn’t unless you expected us to win every game left. Most of the pessimism in here is based on everyone thinking the teams around and behind us are going to win every game. All of these teams are going to drop points. 
 

We need to beat Spurs next week though to maintain any sort of comfort. Biggest game of the season.

Villa are defo in the race

 

The blow of losing today would really be softened if it meant they ended up going past Tottenham & Man Utd for 4th.....provided we end up 3rd of course :lol:

Plenty of bumps to come for all teams chasing top 4. Spurs will keep being spurs, so they'll probably win when they shouldn't then lose when you wouldn't expect it. I fully back us to beat them at home next weekend, need everyone up for it. Man Utd have lost players but have an easier run in. 
 

Losing isn't ideal especially against a team that is chasing you, but 15 points from 6 games is a great outcome. Spurs are the main rivals so losing this and beating them next week is a better result than drawing both. Still confident and I'd expect a response.

Course it is if we won today we could still afford to lose at least 3 now it’s at least 2 that’s a pretty significant drop.

 

I agree Spurs is where our season is decided pretty much

Said it s couple of times, but the last couple of games bought us a coupe of losses. We've used one up in our remaining away game to a top half team.

 

In the last eight, five wins or four wins and could of draws should still see us home.

They are 6 points behind us and Man Utd, with us having a game in hand on them and Man Utd having 2. Yes they are in a race, but they are a little far back and it would be a collapse from us or Man Utd if they caught either of us.

Mixed bag of fixtures for us. Leicester and Southampton at home look decent opportunities. As do Leeds and Everton away, although tricky against teams fighting relegation. 
 

Arsenal I can’t see us getting much out of. Chelsea, who knows. Would be awful going into the last game of the season still needing a result there. 
 

Spurs and Brighton are both massive, for obvious reasons. Being at home makes it a bit easier. But next week is our biggest game of the season, for sure.

Five wins needed from last eight, as long as one of them is vs Spurs.

 

If we win 5/8 including Spurs, Spurs would need to win 5 and draw one of their last 6? I think 4 does it as long as Spurs is one of the 4.

I don't think Villa are in the race at all this season, bit worried about them next season though.

They are 2 wins behind us, they might not be in the best position but they are definitely there
