The players need shooting if they don't pick themselves up.
With the FA cup gone, the players only have the possibility of CL qualification now to hold onto. If we finish outside of the top 4, this season will have gone down as a failure. Being talked about as title challengers and then certain to finish in the top 3, getting knocked out of all 3 cups against the first decent team.
This weekend, if we win, we either get closer to 3rd, consolidate our gap over Chelsea or possibly both. If we don't win, we will likely find ourselves out of the top 4 and possibly even in 6th place by the end of the weekend.
Now we've picked up 20 points since New Year's, so I'm not too optimistic but hopefully the players have a bit of pride and don't want the season to end in such failure.
