Sure, you give yourself as good a chance as you can by winning as many points as you can. But as Liverpool showed, you can have sensational 90+ seasons and still miss out (twice). So the idea that you can’t depend on your rivals drop points away to a team in 5th doesn’t compute to me.
We are on track for 89 points, our highest in 20 years, record number of wins and a record goal difference. We gave ourselves a decent chance, forced City to win their last 10 games or whatever. I think I read we’re going to be the 4th best runners up if we do beat Everton and still miss out. While there’s room for improvement, the lads had a great season and it feels wrong to focus on the details that went wrong.
