If I’m honest if it can’t be us this season to disrupt the sly6 and the champions league places, I’m happy for it to be them I want as few teams near the top as possible. Villa in the CL will only make them grow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Villa having the benefit of a good Europa Conference campaign might help them into pot 3 rather than 4? Not sure if one season would have that much of an impact on the co-efficient though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, Optimistic Nut said: I want as few teams near the top as possible. Villa in the CL will only make them grow. Exactly. If we want Champs League more frequently we have to hope the non-traditional top 6 teams don’t pull away too; it’s hard enough as it is. With FFP constraints, there’s very little separating ourselves from teams like Villa and West Ham. If people like the idea of losing transfer targets to these kinds of sides then by all means root for them. There’s only 1 team that we should want to upset the apple-cart.

Groundhog63 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Sounds a bit like "as long as the top6 becomes the top7 and we're it, fuck the rest" I'd rather us, Villa, Brighton, West Ham all have a go. Let's have them all able to take points off the "big 6" Grest seeing Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea out of the CL this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's have them all able to take points off the "big 6" Grest seeing Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea out of the CL this year. When we're involved of course that's what I want. Villa having a season like this is damaging to us short-term. Likelihood is top 5 will be enough for the CL once things start to heat up in the European knockout stages. Villa doing what they're doing has effectively stopped us still being in with a chance of reaching that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, our horrendous fixtures, so far, allied to an even more horrendous injury record is why we are where we are.

Groundhog63 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Watched the whole game again yesterday. In some respects, imho, it was more convincing than the 5-1 home win. I think that scoreline flattered us. They had, and spurned, glorious chances at vital points for me. Could've been 6-5 or something 😂😂 Still buzzing after Tuesday tho. Definitely wasn't expecting anything. We're back Edited February 1 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Well, that was without a doubt the worst performance under Emery, absolutely awful from start to finish. You played very well, very organised and did well to get the most out of it and deserved the win. You didn't let us do what we do, and we didn't have a rsponse until it was too late, and even then it was only for about 15 minutes. It was a bit like the reverse of this fixture last season in that sense. Can't overstate just how much not having Pau Torres available changes things though, not just defensively, not even mostly defensively, but in helping us move up the pitch. Also Diaby is desperately out of form, Bailey should have been on from the start. Zaniolo came on and bounced around trying to get booked and offering nothing (which is what happens in 95% of his performances) so hopefully we'll not turn that one permanent. Ramsey is clearly not close enough to being fully fit either, and it showed when he came on. The only players who I think came out with any credit were McGinn, Martinez and Bailey. Reminded me a bit of losing 4-2 at home to Leicester last season. We put on a major bounce back after that, and I hope we do the same after this stinker of a result, so we've got a lot to think about. Anyway, well played, you deserved the win, and if we had to get beaten and break that incredible run, at least it was to a side who'd got a good plan and executed it really well rather than, say, the usual undeserved Man United or Liverpool last minute catastrophe.

sushimonster85 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Interested to see that a lot of Villa fans seem to think this has been coming, and results lately have been masking a poor run of form. Sorry if you mentioned this already @brummie but anything in that? If so must make Spurs hopping into 4th last night worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were always going to have a dodgy patch - Spurs did, Arsenal did to a degree, there's no way we weren't going to have one. We're in ours, and have done well to still pick up points along the way, but obviously ran out of luck this week! There's so much football left, I'm not really arsed about other teams results here and there. I'd rather be in 4th today but it's never a continual progression from shit side to really good one, there are ups and downs in there (I've said exactly same on here about you this season).
