Elma Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 13 hours ago, Kanji said: I think Villa now see how fucking brutal a PL/CL campagin can be and injuries/ squad depth makes or breaks you I just don't think Villa have clicked this season, much like us until the last few games. They have been struggling with trying to fit all of their best players into the starting eleven. They were lucky to beat both Everton and Wolves at home and only took a point at Ipswich. They did look much better against Liverpool, despite the loss. This time last year we were at Bournemouth having just come back from Dortmund with no striker, two keepers, Ritchie, Parkinson and Alex Murphy on the bench. As far as I'm aware Villa currently have four injured, three of which are due back next game. Champions League and the travel it involves does take it out of you, but they've had a relatively easy set of games so far (Bayern aside) and certainly haven't the injury issues we had. Looking back, Eddie performed wonders last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I am fixated on the Liverpool game. Under the lights at SJP only three days after they play City at home, which is going to be billed as a title decider. We play on the Saturday, so an extra day of rest. Midweek before that they play Real Madrid. Three days after we play them they have Everton away. It's an incredible opportunity to beat them and it will be even better if we can take six points off West Ham and Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 I feel optimistic about a top four place. The last three games haven't been dazzling, but the players have shown a certain faith in one another and the system that they've been asked to play which augurs well. I get the sense that we can now pick up points from anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 All game by game, but a win MNF and 6th (1 point off UCL spaces), feels a big momentum swing going into the winter run which usually decides how the 2nd half of the season will go. I.e. A drift where we need to close down to make Europe, or in the positions and maintain, focusing just on league (a la 22-23). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 So annoying we can't put a bit of a run together, so open and top spots there for the taking this season. Especially the 5th, likely CL spot. Bright side, we're still in touching distance despite not looking great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 (edited) To drop 7 points from Everton, Palace and West Ham is not a team destined for Europe this season imo. Edited December 1 by Gawalls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 (edited) We are not getting Europe this season, and I’ve made my peace with that. The last 2 games have seen all optimism drained from me. EDIT: Instead I’m looking forward to seeing how we handle the rebuild, starting this summer. Edited December 1 by Jewel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 2/10. Think we've already dropped too many points against poor opposition and still have to go away to Man City, Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa so think we'll fall short again but you never know.
