Champions League Contention

[Risso]

8 points from 7 games now, that's dreadful form.

[PhilVill]

Watkins has to start finishing these chances as that one he missed just after half time was piss poor. He goes on one of his runs for two months and it's there for the taking. Torres, Digne, Konsa and a much fitter Ramsey back in the first 11 may just get us over the line. Its still in our hands 100% but get out of jails are running out fast.

Yep it’s crap - and the reality is we’re conceding too many soft goals and we’ve lost our edge in attack. The performance today was much better, but to have a chance we have to be much more clinical both ends of the pitch - if we can’t be, we don’t deserve top 4/5.

5 points is nothing and the way we are playing that gojng to be wiped very soon. God how depressing

[ChicagoLion]

I got criticised for saying today was pivotal.
It could have been 11 points from 21 but it’s now 8.
This is not any where near Top 4 form now look at Spurs and Manure form.

Well it’s quite a lot if we start winning games, but our ability to keep losing will eradicate it fast. We just have to fix our mentality fast - we’ve become far too easy to beat, we’re conceding too many and not scoring enough.

[Hillbilly]

We’re gonna finish sixth. It all feels a bit O’Neill-ish.

The issue for me is that confidence is shot. The last three home games have seen three losses and lets not foeget we were fortunate not to lose the shff utd game too at home.

Its gonw from fortress villa park to nursey villa park in last few games. Its not been good at all

[Risso]

I'm getting slightly sick of hearing how Man U/Newcastle/Chelsea etc are "more contenders for the top 5 than us". Give it a rest, it's hardly going to inspire anybody is it?

[PaulWinch again]

Yes it’s a bit tedious - if we finish 7th this season it’s a poor effort from where we’ve been. Still a par performance overall, but if that’s where we end up that is basically written in stone as our ceiling. If we can’t breakthrough after the first half of the season we never will.

And especially after spending £100m on a squad that finished 7th the season before.

he's been a disaster in fairness

[Chris Harte]

I thought we played well today. We put them under a lot of pressure but ultimately didn't get the breaks that we deserved.

Their winner was a kick in the guts and, frankly, flattered them.

It's upto us to keep going now.
