You should expect to be after this. 
It's been a very good season overall I would've thought, particularly if you win the Europa League. 
If you were to win your last 3 league games and finish with 79 points, then mathematically you're only about 4 different match results off a title, perhaps less depending on the competitiveness of the league next year. 
People seem to think there's this mysteriously difficult barrier to go from not winning the league to winning the league, but actually there isn't. It's only a very small margin in cases like this. Once you do win it, revisionist history will take hold and make us feel that there was some enormous difference between the winner and everyone else, when there really wasn't.
