Champions League Contention

[Villan82]

We’ve played 3 (4 if you include the cup) top half sides at home this year and lost to them all - and in 3 put in entirely flat, awful displays. That’s been really poor.

Pau
Konsa
Kamara
Digne
Carlos
Ramsey


Not even mentioning the long term absences.

We have had awful luck with injuries

[PaulWinch again]

That doesn’t excuse the performances we’ve put in in those games. Most of them have played today too.

[Rigadon]

It’s been a very, very shit day of football.  Today it feels like our push for top 4 is done and dusted.  Momentum conceded, McGinn out for 3 games, injuries etc etc. 

But, you never know and we’ll see.  They can celebrate and sing their smug dirge. But we will see. 

[DC1874]

Your delusional if you think we've got the bottle and ability to make top 4

They can celebrate because we have gifted them that. We were a disgrace today.

[Villan82]

I'm not throwing in the towel.

What a brutal second half.

8 goal swing on the GD. Spurs have all of Forest, Burnley and Luton left at home (and Sheffield United away) so they'll be posting at least one more big win in the season.

We'll still win games but they will be more tight.

Need minimum of four points from West Ham-Wolves, ideally six.

This is why I don't think we'll do much next season in the league even if we get CL. We'll be playing higher intensity matches than in the Europa and then playing games v teams like Spurs 70 hours later.

With FFP issues I just can't see us evolving the squad enough to be able to rotate and still put high quality 11s out.

Still let's just make it and see what happens. Not a good idea to go out on Thursday now.

[DC1874]

Massive game on Thurs now, lose and go out = season simply petering out ☹️

[Axl Rose]

We're still 4th, but that was sobering.

[Rigadon]

Your delusional if you think we've got the bottle and ability to make top 4

I can assure you, I am not delusional.  I’m merely saying wait and see.  The season has 10 games to go.  They need to actually win their game in hand and they have to play all the ‘top clubs’ as Roy Kunt would call them. 

Spurs aren’t a better side than us, despite today’s second half shit show.  That won’t be the narrative of course, but it’s true. 

[Jon Crofts]

We aren't a CL side that's clear for everyone to see hopefully Emery included, we'd be an embarrassment week in week out if that performance was anything to go by.

[Brazilian Villain]

We're still 4th, but that was sobering.

On the contrary, it's the sort of result that makes people fall off the wagon.

[Rigadon]

We aren't a CL side that's clear for everyone to see hopefully Emery included, we'd be an embarrassment week in week out if that performance was anything to go by.

And spurs?  And Man Utd?

[Demitri_C]

Yeah we are not a champions league team after witnessing that today

[Rigadon]

Time to take a break from all sports media for a few days!  It’s not the end of the world and there’s a long way to go yet.
