Europe Thread 25/26

[Cels]

Not impossible when you consider the wins against United and Villa away.

Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool have also struggled this season and "dropped points" against teams they were expected to beat, so you never know.

 

[Toffeepot]

Top 6 opponents left to play:

Everton play Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool

Brentford play United, City and Liverpool

Bournemouth play United, Arsenal and City

Fulham play Liverpool, Villa and Arsenal

Sunderland play Villa, United and Chelsea



....in other words, stop making excuses.

We also play City
Stop tailoring your sample size to suit your agenda

Would love a random away trip in Europe. Perfect for my 9 year old. Be great to get in conference league for that

Samsunspor away. Sure he/she would love it. On the plus side after avoiding potential ultra tear ups and Iran ballistic missiles, the Da's can get their hair and teeth done !!

Tailoring the sample? Ok, we play City. So we have 4 top 6ers to play as opposed to the others who have 3.

Not exactly an overwhelming disadvantage is it?

Easy for you to claim; bit more difficult for you to demonstrate...

No, but it does derail your neat little table

We need to pick up results against Arsenal, Chelsea, rs and City. I'd say 5-6pts from that 12,

Then 9 pts from Sunderland H, Brentford A, West Ham A, Palace A, Spurs A

I think 14-15pts will do it.

Starting today, see if we can get a point and keep the board ticking over.

Roma are down to 5th which is Europa league so even if we do get into Europa we could very well be punted down, Juventus are 1 point behind Roma in the conference league position.. Everton that.... qualifying for a league that usually consists of no top sides only to go out to Juventus in the quarter final.

It would be the ultimate case of "Everton, that" if we both happened to finish in exactly the positions where Everton would be relegated to the Conference League despite qualifying for the Europa.

…..Brighton take the lead at Sunderland.

It would be an enormous stroke of luck. We could win the Conference League. We'll be fodder in the Europa and won't build a strong enough squad to prevent the spillover in the league...

Exactly,the conference league would be perfect at this point for us,a proper opportunity to get the trophy monkey off our back,shut the RS goons up for a while,yes it's a Mickey Mouse trophy but a legit trophy and one we could really go after.

Damage limitation week for us: Sunderland being beaten (though Brighton are a danger to us now); Bournemouth being held.

Based this on yellow for top five and CL, green for 6-7th and EL and red for the conference League in 8th.
