It is possible for us to get 4th spot, we have to be positive, but not too over-zealous.
One huge positive from the Swansea game is that we didn't have Gibson or Jelavic, and I was thinking before the game that we would only get a draw but
Moyes got it spot on and Pienaar/Baines were incredible again, so was Anichebe!
The next couple of weeks could determine a lot, we have 3 fairly straight forward games coming soon. Southampton is a must win at home, Wigan away should be fairly straight forward (then a break) but away at QPR is a draw for me.
So that would leave us with 7 points out of 9 before Liverpool and we all know that if we beat Liverpool it might be a very special season this season. That would make a huge statement if we manage to beat Liverpool for once.
Winning a cup this year is as important as getting at least 5th, realistically I can't see us getting 4th as I know we'll struggle against Arsenal, City, United and Chelsea at their grounds. And we have to go to Anfield, when was the last time we won there?
But I'm actually excited to see some great football, sometimes shaky at the back but our attacking threat has made huge leaps since the start of last year, look how far we've come since then.
I don't see Fellaini going in January at all, if we were in amongst the top five by January and he went that would be a disaster even if we did get upwards of 20 million. If we do get Europa league football he might stay but I think we all know what he wants. Honestly I don't think anyone knows what will happen with him, but lets just wait until the end of the season for him to make up his mind.
I can see
Moyes signing another contract, there are no jobs going around that are big enough for him, but when Fergie steps down (whenever that is) I think he will go.
2-0 for us at Leeds. COYB!
