Points wise it's definitely possible. But we just don't have enough genuine quality up top to go on a winning streak IMO. I'm not even thinking about the defence, since I do think we have the players at the back if we can just cut out the mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not great teams but also not teams fighting for relegation. If we can win those 3 games then with a bit of luck we could be within a couple of points of the cl with a better run in than Liverpool certainly. If we can find the quality to win the next 3 games we've got a great chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep talking about how the lack of time on the training pitch is hampering our preparations, I think one of the biggest beneficiaries of the extra time we'll have after the break will be Big Nick. Give him two or three days a week working with Eddie and showing him how he wants him to move and position himself and I think we'll see a much better version of him.

TRC Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I did a predictor, and on the last game of the season, we need to beat Fulham who will be miles off it by my calculations, but we also need Everton to beat Spurs to get Europe. Although if Everton win they will relegate Spurs. The scenario is unlikely but I'd honestly be pretty torn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbearable if that happens. Pure embarrassment they’ve done the double over us (again) not to mention look likely to finish above us. Honestly just wish it was 24th May now.

1881 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Whatever happens we need to get as many points as possible and get as high as possible in the table otherwise we run the danger of frittering away our hard-earned Champions League millions by losing merit payments.

ramirez Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Mackems still have Chelsea and Man U among others I think. Plus a few teams fighting relegation but it’ll be close who finishes higher. They could just go on the beach now who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I understand the doom and gloom, obviously, but a couple of weeks ago, it would probably have been accepted that we needed to win at least one of the games against Chelsea and Sunderland to be in with a shot. We did that, but I'd hazard there would be much more optimism now if the results were flipped. It's not a great position by any means, and the display in the second half on Sunday was incredibly worrying, but with players coming back from injury and several of the teams above us playing each other, Europe definitely isn't out of the question.

Not sure if Europa or Conference League would do us much good? The two seasons where Howe got us to achieve CL were seasons where we weren't in Europe.

This is in contravention to all earlier analysis I've seen and what AI told me. Such analysis and AI said FIFA rules meant that the best a team finishing eighth off that league position alone was Conference League. For it to happen, a top 7 team has to win the FA Cup, but that looks likely anyway given who's still in it. The harder condition is about Liverpool and Villa winning in Europe and finishing in certain league positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Conference would be much of an issue. We’d be favourites to win it and would be able to rotate regularly given the level of opposition.
