cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 29, 2024 Share Posted February 29, 2024 We are 12 pts behind a Europa cup position, with six teams above us, 13 matches remaining. What are the chances and has it ever been acomplished by somebody ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted February 29, 2024 Author Share Posted February 29, 2024 Brentford Newcastle Burnley Man Utd Everton Brighton That is our immediate PL schedule. A consistent team could run all of those games. Both Man Utd and Brighton are not playing well, the other teams are not good. Newcastle has injuries. The problem is we are anything but consistent. Finishing 8th is about the best I think we can expect. We can also very realistically finish below 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the chances and has it ever been acomplished by somebody ? Are u speaking about Europa League? Things have changed and are going our direction. 5th place is 99% going to play Champions League with new rules. With Liverpool winning League Cup and City and Liverpool also most likely winners of Fa Cup that means Cups are not getting you European football but league position in which case 6th and 7th would get Europa League. We are 4 points behind 7th place with one game less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted March 1, 2024 Share Posted March 1, 2024 Suppose Putin after having murdered Navalni decides to shoot one of his nuke rockets, just one. The target is say Gelzenkirchen, or Munich. He 's going to do that so NATO stop sending arms to Ukraine making his special military operation difficult. What do we do then ? Surrender ?

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted March 1, 2024 Share Posted March 1, 2024 How are we going to lose this match? Being outplayed and outfought? Tactics? Conceding from a set piece after missing several chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted March 1, 2024 Author Share Posted March 1, 2024 I thought the Brentford match was just a game of football, I had no idea it had this much global impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last 4 against Brentford have been 3 losses and a draw 🤣 wooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle had even more sidelined players when we faced them back in November.. And what happened? Their 12 years old midfielder(Miley) made a fool of us, then 3 days later they almost beat PSG at the Prince. Or the CC-final last weekend.. Liverpool had midweek game, and academy players featured, still we couldn’t prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetable 830 Posted March 1, 2024 Share Posted March 1, 2024 Not much to add. It's rather sad that we went from "we need to get ourselves together as this game will be difficult, because such teams will play for their lives against Chelsea" to "we need to get ourselves together as this game will be difficult", full stop.
