The College Dropout Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Villa are looking like us of last season. With a better squad. And in a weaker competition than the league cup. Villa have to win a trophy or get in the CL. Anything short will feel like a failure for them deep down I'm sure. Like how finishing 5th for us would've been a sly failure at a certain point last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just based it on last season’s position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 10 hours ago, The Prophet said: 3rd with 77 points, over the last 38 games I believe. Superb form. What's particularly impressive is, those 38 games he's been here, when he arrived, we were only out of the relegation places on goal difference. He's done that whilst picking us up from such a piss poor level under Carpethead. I said a while ago on here that he's improved literally every player we have except Leon Bailey. I take that back, Bailey has been on fire lately for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Sods law there are 8 fucking fixtures in December, more than any other month in the season, when we are at breaking point with injuries with no relief in sight. I dunno how we are gonna do it but if we can somehow hang in there... The 2nd half of the season if we get our squad back together is gonna be fruitful.

They’re going to be part gassed, part down on major players for a month. Add in the standard Spurs bottling and they may end up struggling to finish top six Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Updated this morning, up to 3rd after this round of games so looking good for 5th place becoming a CL spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BShearer Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 quite a good round for English clubs this midweek round, and others had a bit week weaker result, so England climbed up to 2nd place on coefficient list, at the moment PL 5th place worth CL group qualification. can change easily in 2 weeks time, but imo England will be in top two in the end.

TRC Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Regarding the coefficients, is it weighted higher for CL? So if us and Man u drop out its a big impact? Villa should win the ECL does that carry much weight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I still find it incredibly silly that you could feasibly not know which places qualify for the CL until after the season has ended. I really thought when this was introduced that it would be a season in advance (i.e. England would have 5 places this year based on 2022/23). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I mean probably unlikely it goes down to the outcome of the finals, but certainly not impossible. Be an absolute bastard if we snatched fifth with a last minute winner or something on the last day, then Man City lose the CL final to Bayern meaning we only end up with four places.

aussiemag Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think it down to us, Villa and Spurs for 4th and 5th place. If we can get the likes of Botman, Willock, Longstaff, Wilson, Barnes and Anderson back within a couple of weeks, we look good. Spurs will struggle to pick up points without Maddinson and Villa will hit a sticky spot at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Opta's supercomputer has started to see daylight between our chances and Tottenham's. It still puts us behind Villa, presumably on calendar year 2023 form. https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/08/opta-football-predictions/ Villa have City and Arsenal at home before we play Spurs next Sunday, so a big week ahead.
