The Europeometer™ (2024/25)

Just now, Andy said:

 

The fact Bournemouth are below us in the league suggests that if we've been inconsistent, they've been inconsistent 

 

I thought they had a poor start under Iraola but they've improved steadily the longer he's been there?

After today. Not particularly confident of CL at all. Europa we have a great chance. Our home form against mid-table sort of sides and the performances to boot have been worrying. 
 

The next 3 league games are brutal. Almost feels like we have more chance of a result against City than we do at home to Forest. As mental as that sounds.
 

I think they’ll cause us no end of bother with their counters and something feels massively off in a lot of our home games somehow. 
 

Everything is flat. From collective and individual performances to the sleepy crowd.

Up to this point I have always been pretty confident we'll finish ahead of Forest and Bournemouth, I was more bothered about Chelsea and Villa. Now I'm revising that opinion, but we should get Europe in one form or another. Might see a couple of big stars moving if we don't make CL though.

That’s potentially true but I think those stars are bought in enough to realise that if they don’t make the champions league that might be on them.

 

 

I might be naive but there seems to be a collective responsibility there that they win together and lose together. And they owe it to each other to make it to the top.

No CL and at least 2/3 of the big three are off (Issak, Bruno or Tonali)

 

They may be ‘bought in’ but realistically they will want the opportunity to win things or at least play regularly in the ‘big competitions’.

Yep they will have been part of the squad that ‘failed’ to deliver but there’s little doubt they will be off imo.

 

Hopefully we do enough for European competition so we keep them but we are so inconsistent it’s not beyond possibility we fail to get any let’s be honest.

 

Really poor performance and result today. Really gutted 😞

The result today really done me in like.

 

Nothing is lost yet of course, and this season could still turn out to be a really special one, but I feel like we will get more results and performances like today mixed in with the good ones.

 

Apart from the 9 game winning streak, the inconsistency has really killed us.
