madras Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 1 minute ago, Yorkie said: I just can't make up my mind about Europa. As I keep saying I really love it as a competition, I've got some really strong memories of it feeling like the one that would finally bring us silverware. And I think it's for that reason that I don't want it to feel like a consolation or, much worse, seen as an inconvenience. It should be a pleasure to be in, and something to be celebrated, because being in Europe is class - it's not all about the bloody CL. The bottom line is I want us to progress in 1st or 2nd of the group we're already in. But, if we do drop, I dearly hope it's not seen as uncool to suddenly be in a competition that we could actually win. I see it as a no lose situation. We haven't been embarrassed, we've learned loads so far. We qualify and our profile and coffers are boosted. We qualify for Europa, we'll continue to learn and grow the profile and possibly do very well. We finish bottom, we get fewer games to give the top 4 another push. We are only moving forward at this stage. Neither of the 3 alternatives are going to stop that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm finding it hard to be upset at a result that leaves everything in doubt. Maybe we end up 4th and in that case so be it, but heading to Paris with a chance to turn the group on its head again is not a bad thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main fear is the possible misery of people who might grumble at the so-called inconvenience of being the Europa League, should that come to pass. It's basically just an afterglow of anxiety from the Alan 'thank God we're not in Europe' Pardew days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We're in the group of death, 2 games left, and a draw at PSG and win v Milan should guarantee 3rd, could even sneak 2nd. This is a great result in the Milan/PSG game. 15 years we've had shite, let's enjoy it man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats for tonight look very similar to their 3-0 win over Milan at home. They've had between 62% and 73% possession in all four CL games so far, so they are going to dominate the ball.

Just can't see us not losing in Paris to be honest, it would be a monumental effort to get anything from the game given their home form, so definitely hoping Milan don't win next week. It would be a bit of a damp squib going from top of the group after GW2 to guaranteed 4th and a dead rubber final match, which is probably the most likely outcome now, unfortunately.

How the frig would they work that out if head-to-head comes first. That would be incredible, but it would then simply come down to overall goal difference, then goals scored. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams; Goal difference in all group matches; Goals scored in all group matches; Away goals scored in all group matches; Wins in all group matches; Away wins in all group matches; Disciplinary points (direct red card = 3 points; double yellow card = 3 points; single yellow card = 1 point); UEFA club coefficient.
