Not so sure they are unmotivated yet.
That deluded fool Mancini thinks they can still catch United. Although if they continue playing two holding midfielders against teams as bad as Aston Villa they might drop some points.

That's the thing though, he's a deluded lunatic basically, although, getting rid of mad Mario is probably the sanest and wisest thing he's done in his reign and that was less than three months ago, so you never know about him, mad as a hatter one minute and occasionally brilliant the nextNot so sure they are unmotivated yet.

Ehhh, I think he makes a serious case for Europe's least impressive coach at a top club.
Though I think Benitez takes the prize for that competition.
No one needs to tempt fate, we aren't taking anything for granted.
Ambition is critical.
Why not aim for first? It's not like United is a shoe-in for the Barclay's league already. For all we know, they might slip-up again and the race will be wide open.
It's like in our club motto, Canes Canem Edit. To Dare Is To Do. If we don't aim high, we might as well forget about aiming for anything.
Let's not get carried away here, I'm sure most of us would settle for 4th right now... 3rd would be an INCREDIBLE achievement, I'm not even thinking about 2nd at this stage of the season!
Let's see where we are once we've played Chelsea and Man City next month... THEN we can start dreaming!
I think you'll find that by this time last year the collapse was well and truly on.Same time last year we were going to the title
Psychologically it's better to push for 2nd and have 4th to fall back on than hope to hold on to 4th.
If we're drawing with City at home in the 80th minute with the current 5pt gap is it better to press for a winner that would close it to 2pts or is it preferable to drop deep and prevent them scoring a late winner?
Go for the ruddy win!

2nd 3rd 4th all the same really... not first but in these days of finance before achievement job done!
