The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Champions League


Recommended Posts

Welbeck does normally get the goal, but I feel that Pedro is the difference between then being a problem going forward, to being predictable. He does things that aren't the normal, dropping into hard to mark spaces to create space for the others

Wouldnt mind a draw in City vs Villa. Dont take it at all for granted that City will finish their season better than them. 

 

Wolves are on a very good run with 5 wins in a row.

Fulham and Bournemouth will both probably be fighting for a spot in Europe and are very good teams at their best. 

City themselves have looked far from impressive.

 

So them sharing 2 points instead of 3 seems good to me. Especially if Forest wins today and we maybe have to stay ahead of both.

 

 

 

We want teams ‘eliminated’ from the race.  Villa are bottom of the pack, we want them gone.

City has lost 3 games in the league since end of december. Those 3 being against Arsenal, Liverpool and Forest. In the same period they've won 9, and while they haven't looked all that convincing in just about any of those, they are winning games anyways. They don't need many chances.

 

Liverpool hasn't exactly looked like the galacticos, but yet they are on their way to ~90 points. Don't let the gameplay decieve you, it's the results that counts. Looking far from impressive doesn't deduct points from you.

 

 

 

They dont need to lose to drop points, draws works just fine which they have had several of vs average teams. They are were they are at the table for a reason. In their last 10 games they have won half of them, which is pretty much their average for the season in a whole. Dont really see anything that suggest that they are certain to win their last 4.

You're focusing too much on their 2024 form over here. That doesn't matter anymore. Their stats are 9-3-3 since their terrible form pre 2025. As mentioned all of the losses were to top 7 teams. Ofcourse they may draw a game or two, but that's not enough. They need to have a serious dip in form to not get it over the line.

Now more than ever I fully believe that trophy winners should automatically qualify for the Champions League. Never thought about how appropriate that would be until about 15 minutes ago.

If we don't beat Ipswich, we don't deserve CL. Yes that's one win, but the picture would be much brighter with a win.

If we don't make top 5, it'll be because we weren't good enough to. So we'll see how it goes. 

 

I'm hoping the likes of Tonali drag us over the line by setting the standard.

In our fixture list, we've got only 2 sides who have something to play for - one of those will have lost the league title already. Arsenal and Chelsea. That might count for something v. the fixtures our CL rivals have

I can't even have the mindset of 'well we would smash europa like spurs and man united ecause looking at the other league tables it will most likely be Dortmond and Juventus in it next season. Its comical how lucky they have both been."

I really dont see why their January results should be so much more relevant than their December results. Whether you count the games from March, February, December or the start of the season they will all show that they won half of their games. Its only when you start from January they will have good stats. Its you I would say that are focusing too much on that particular period.

What result do we need tomorrow?


We don’t know I guess. 
 

Right now I’d prefer Villa to lose, but at the end of the season we don’t really know who’ll be where.
