My first post ever. Toffee fan in US for 10 years, but only getting to see lots of our games this season, now that NBCSN has the EPL contract in US.
Appears to me that the most logical, but long, long-shot, CL scenario would be for Arsenal to be tied by Newcastle, then lose away to desperate Norwich City, while Toffees win final two games. Not counting on it.
This highly optimistic scenario, unfortunately, is now balanced (?) by a pessimistic Europa League scenario. Both Spurs and ManU have much easier run-in, so wouldn't surprise for them to reach 72 and 69. If injury-plagued Toffees falter, they could end at 69, and would lose out to ManU on goal difference. Obviously finishing 5th would be disappointing, but finishing 7th ......
Hope to win last 2, would be thrilled to secure 5th with one win, and, frankly, would also take 1 more point to get 6th.
