Will we qualify for the CL?
« on: December 14, 2024, 11:59:35 PM »
Currently we're 3 points off 4th and 2 points off 5th.

Do you think we'll do it?

If we play like we have for the last 6 weeks or so we won’t. We are both defensively flimsy and incoherent in attack, unless we make at least one of those a strength it’s not going to happen. Fingers crossed we’ll sort it.

Only if we win it this season. I'll settle for that tbh.

Dunno, most teams are pretty inconsistent this season. Let's do a Norwich '93 for the craic and finish 3rd with a negative goal difference.

I think we need to be not cut off by the time the transfer window closes and just hope that we pull something out the bag. It is so tight though that I think 5th will be up for grabs for a few teams.

No way, this version of Villa has mid table written all over it.

Depends on what we can do in January transfer wise.  Maybe we should just go for it and take the points deductions like other clubs have.

It doesn't seem like it now but any sort of consistency and 5th is up for grabs.

I don’t expect the league to remain as inconsistent.

If we sign no one in January  no chance.

If we are smart in January  and make some smart signings without breaking the bank we can do. For example get luiz back on loan, recall illing jr or enzo to get bodies back to add extra competition

And bloody sign a right back. Then yeah we have a shot

Could go either way. I don’t think we’re as crap as our form since the start of November suggests. I do think the squad is starting to creak from having 2 seasons of playing way more games than it’s capable of, at least at the consistently high level that we’ve needed to this season.

The problem is even before we kicked a ball in CL we did not look that convincing. Played pretty well vs west ham (but they have been hopeless most season) played well at arsenal  but again missed loads of chances and lost. Followed by straping wins against leicester and Everton. Last season we were blowing teams apart.

I can't see a top four finish. This pedestrian football has been sussed by other teams. We played with more tempo in Leipzig but reverted back last night. We sat so deep in the last ten minutes at Forest and they bullied Villa. Trying possession football on the edge of our box was ridiculous and led to their winning goal.
