We do have a pretty grim run of fixtures next month. We cannot afford any slip ups in the league as it looks like City are not going to stumble any time soon. But looking at it we can easily win all of our next 5 games.

Southampton (A) - Tough, but we should win
C Palace (H) - Easy game. No excuses there.
Liverpool (A) - Proved we can cope with SAS. Should win.
Man U (H) - Horrible fixture. Yet United are very beatable
Liverpool (H) - Home vs Liverpool should be another win.

If we can come out of those fixtures with 13/15 points and a spot in 1/4 Finals I will be over the moon.

Then as we come to Bayern game I honestly don't care if we go out in the CL. We have a great chance of winning PL and FA cup. Juggling those fixtures with midweek CL could easily lead to a mid-season collapse as Wenger struggles to rotate yet play a strong side. No shame in going out to the current best team in the world.

If we end this season with an FA cup and a top 2 finish I will be one very happy gooner and see this season as a resounding success. Show how far we have since losing to Spurs almost a year ago.

What would you rather though?

us try with a full strength squad vs bayern and loose 3-2

or wenger playing players like gnabry and jenkinson and sanogo and Gedion and us losing 5-1?

Yes very difficult run of fixtures.
Can't see us getting 13/15 points from 4 league games though.

Champions league does take a bit of luck. but depends on the day. if the players feel comfortable, and we can go out and win 2-1 like we did against barca, then I feel we have a very good chance of going to munich and making them work for their win.

we are obviously underdogs, but its not impossible.

but I agree with the op, we should be more concerned with EPL or FA cup.

MM,

Only Fergie could have possibly got 13/15 points from 4 league games. So that's how United won all those titles!

Didn't come out quiet right.
