Europe Thread 25/26

Still all to play for but today is a real kick in the nuts, few injuries as well.

Pessimistic at the minute but hopefully boys can gather themselves up and go again. Today will hurt for a while though

Feel that the Brentford and Liverpool games were both massive in reality for our aspirations. I was pretty confident going into them tbh so scraping one point out of both is a kick in the teeth.
 
So frustrating not to even get a point there, but we aren’t out of it at all.

Mad that we could finish anywhere from 6th to 14th here.
Crazy that some have ruled us out just because of a last second defeat when we are 1 point from 6th. We were and are in it no matter what the result was today. A win would never have guaranteed europe, as in a defeat does not mean we are out of it, with league been so tight
 
Every chance 6th gets Champions league, so still lots to play for.

In a weird way, losing that game might give us a better chance of qualifying for the CL than drawing it. We’d be 5 points behind Liverpool in 5th place and Liverpool would be 5 behind Villa. Now with Villa still having to play Liverpool and City in their final 2 games, there’s a chance Villa could finish below Liverpool in 5th.

I don’t think we’ll come 6th with our fixtures and injuries but it would be really funny if we ended up qualifying for the CL because we lost the game today.

Yep. I made this point pre game. Would be the ultimate irony if Van Dijks header actually helps us get into the Champions league.
