What position gets Europe?

[Exeter_Gently]

Forget europe we are not ready to go in we need to be realistic

First time I've actually seen you post something that isn't a blacklisted link or a porn site.

How are you mate,Nice to meet you

 

[HKContractDave]

Not the one Everton finish in come end of the season.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Are there any permutations where 11th or 12th get Europe?
Asking for a mate.

 

[MACCA75]

Very frustrating. Champions league likely to drop to 6th for the one and only time, Chelsea, Spurs and Newcastle have been garbage.. a perfect storm which Bournemouth will likely take advantage of.

Wish this club could just for once, walk through an open door.

 

[Vaughan]

just feel like this was a great opportunity

we could have a vastly superior team next year but still end up 9th if newcastle spurs chelsea all get in decent managers and recruit well

i kind of wish we’d lost today as well instead of drawing now, theres still a sliver of hope. after 4 weeks of getting our nuts kicked id rather just enjoy the day out v sunderland than looking at results and having blind hope of capitulations

brentford are gonna end up winning the conference league

 

[Blue peter]

We must be the first club to bottle Conference qualification fs

They’ll pull Colina out of retirement aged 74

 

[BlueShark]

They could make top 10 enough for European qualification and we'd still conspire to finish 11th.

 

[WA Toffee]

Mathematically, we can still qualify for the champions league. Stop laughing, I said mathematically, not realistically. And I am aware that it is probably the first time ever that 6th place can qualify for the Champions league.

But when is the last time it was possible for us to qualify for the champions league with 2 games to go. Probably in Moyes first stint, perhaps Martinez first season? Don't think we've been this close since then.

Surely the fact that it is even possible to do should convince people that we have made huge progress in the last 18 months and are now looking up instead of down?

What position gets Europe?
Easy to tell. One above our final spot.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Current lowest possible position - 16th
Current highest possible position - 7th

Current estimation - 13th

It has been apparent from an early stage this season that talk of Europe was a pipe dream. The squad has neither the quality nor depth to sustain a challenge for a European place finish, or to secure a decent run in even the minor European competitions. The defence is the primary issue, with three of the back four far from the necessary standard. We also lack real tenacity in midfield, build up is ponderous and predictable, and we lack clinical quality in the striking options. As the season reached a critical point, performance issues badly affected the midfielders who may have added to the goals tally, Ndiaye in particular. There is much work to be done to bolster our European credentials, and it won’t be achieved in a single season from this August either. We’re not a poor team, but we are palpably not a European team either.

I guess it will make it easier for survival next season...cant see a team like brentford or Bournemouth being able to manage having to play so many games.

The same was said of Palace

 

[Neiler]

Need to win the next two to have a prayer.

palace and forest did ok with small squads,would of been a better stepping stone than going straight into champions league
