I hope we have enough left in the tank I really do. Not the physical energy but the mental capacity to keep going.
If United win we are still in with a shout, can cope with the loss of Alli and give Chelsea a game and maybe have what it takes to win. If United lose the effect it could have would concern me.
The team have been magnificent this season. Just on a completely different level but could still finish 5th which is nearly impossible to believe. That's why Pochettino's job in the next few days is such a huge one. He has to prepare for all eventualities but that additional striker option is a massive miss.
It was the first time I felt we lost our nerve and much credit in that has to painfully be given to Leicester who have been absolutely astounding. No words can adequately say how good they have been. But we still had them in a good place if we had won but I think collectively we froze and I include Pochettino in that. It was nearly as though we were thinking of Chelsea once we scored. Cardinal error.
So let's see. You have to think United won't lose to Leicester. That means our task is either draw and two wins or 3 wins.
Hope springs eternal but worst case scenario and Leicester do beat United we have to remember 5th could still be a tasteless dessert to a tremendous main meal.
