Sibierski Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago The period after this international break is when the games start to ramp up and Europe does have an impact. This is where we need to take advantage of having no Europe, especially if it’s against sides who have played in Europe. Like Villa yesterday for example where done after their European game, but had a terrible Man Utd side. If that’s us playing, I’d expect a high tempo where it can’t be matched across the 90. We’ve been poor, but if season starts now, it’s a good base to start from as the points are on the board. Keeping Isak fit for rest of season and having Wilson back to chip in is the key to getting top 5 though. Without those, there’s no chance as we’re not technically savvy enough to get through games without a striker and win, as we don’t control the ball well.

Mental fatigue more than anything at this stage. The highs of winning your first game back at home in Europe's premier competition late on to then having to play the dross that is Man Utd, difficult to motivate yourself to go again.

STM Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Let's not bullshit. Man United got a good result at Villa, who were underwhelming on the day. Which is great because it keeps ETH in a job just a wee bit longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I think we're slowly clicking into place. Poised very well in the league now points wise, with Isak back (hopefully) after the international break. Europe is very possible indeed, with a cup run giving us another chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, frustrating that we couldn't get the three points which would have seen us go level with 4th but it is a decent start as long as we start kicking into gear. Still feel like the season can go one of two ways but there is a decent chance that Europe will be 8th so we should be getting at least that in my opinion.

jigen Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago You haven't european matches and this is a great advantage. For me you have better chances than Aston Villa and Tottenham. I see a race between you, Chelsea and Man Utd for one (or two if this year PL will have 5 CL teams) places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
