Vesper 30,297 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 10 minutes ago, Mhsc said: I think it will only be Europa if City beat Utd in the FA Cup final, but still, it would give us a real shot at it. yes, I did not fully explain my short answer, and left some things out Europa League There are two Europa League places up for grabs. One belongs to the highest-placed finisher not in the Champions League, which will almost certainly now mean fifth place. Of course, a league finish that appeared set to earn a Champions League place but now won’t can only be occupied by Tottenham and that is currently very correctly the case. The other Europa spot goes to the winners of the FA Cup. If that’s Manchester City, then that spot instead goes to whoever is sixth in the league. If Man United win the cup, it’s slightly messier but they would take the second Europa League spot regardless of their final league position. Were they to finish outside the top six and win the cup, then sixth place would mean a spot in the… Europa Conference League As well as all the fizzy pop they can drink, the Carabao Cup winners also receive a place in the play-off stages for the Europa Conference League. Liverpool are in the Champions League and thus will not need the spot they secured after beating Chelsea, so it will revert to the highest-placed finisher not otherwise in Europe. That place went to Aston Villa this season and they vanquished Hibernian in the play-off stages to reach the Conference League group stages, from which they advanced comfortably into the knockouts and now the semi-finals. Should they follow West Ham in winning that competition this season, they will qualify for the Europa League. It is vanishingly unlikely they will need that spot given they are looking good in fourth. The Premier League would only get an extra Europa League spot if Villa win the Conference League and finish outside European qualification via the league, which can’t happen. Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have now guaranteed their Champions League spots. Aston Villa are guaranteed at least Europa League football.

You are strict!! This is exactly what VAR is for.. These calls are very close in real time. We tend to forget how many bad decisions are correct now bc of VAR. Caicedo and Connor work very well together, will be interesting to see how Enzo and Lavia(and Andrey Santos and Ugo) will be reintegrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 2,745 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 Need to play a 3-4-3 if we want Caceido, Conor and Enzo on together. Lets Cucu play LB, and Caceido can be that reliever while also helping on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
