Holy f**k, we may as well just f***in stop now then if you neg heads are anything to go by, with 36pts still up for grabs,lets just say ah, f**k the league,lets play the ressies for the rest of the season and give the senior players the longest pre-season ever,
Its too early to give up on fourth yet.
In a normal season it would be but, as pointed out above, Chelsea are imploding and Di Matteo is pretty much hated by the squad, Arsenal are so reliant on RVP all it will take is for him to pick up a knock or even be marked out of a couple of games and they will drop more points.
But the point where we realistically have to give up on fourth isnt that far away. And its not about being negative - its about being smart with our plans for next season. If we miss out on Champions League whats the point of playing Carra till the end of the season just so we can get 6th instead of 7th when we already have Europa league confirmed?
The smart thing to do would be to blood Coates into the team properly so we have a reliable backup. the smart thing to do would be to try henderson in the middle unless you think Stevie will be playing more games not less as he gets older. The smart thing to do would be to give Sterling and Suso a try-out and Andy an extended run in the side so we know what we need in the transfer window.
It s not a question about negativity rather than ,aking the smart choice.
