Can't see it now. Beating Ipswich isn't difficult but we failed to do it. It's all about the cups now.

No, unless the new signings can change things. We have been same all season, poor defence (lack of clean sheets) and inconsistent - typical mid-table side.
There are 2 up for grabs, hoping for Chelsea, Forest and Newcastle to drop off and us to pick up, big ask.

I think the next few games will make or break the season, had today gone well then I think a top 5 place was very attainable, the fact that we can put in a performance like that it this point in the season probably says we are better out of it, which is a great pity when you consider the squad.

if we beat Liverpool and Chelsea, both possible, then we are right back in there

Well, all I can say is that I don’t know who Bayern Munich’s striker is, but he must be fucking shit if he can’t score against us.

We needed 6 pts from wolves and Ipswich and got 1. No way are we beating Liverpool and Chelsea

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me at all. I'd be pretty happy with 4 points from them, followed by victory at Palace.

The shape of the game will be entirely different. We struggle with teams who park the bus.

I remember  last season luton tried it and we tore them apart. Even if they park the bus we have enough quality esp with ten men to win this game.

And Sheffield tried it and succeeded as well.

We've been spoilt by the CL games this year (apart from the £97 admission prices, obvs) but it will be so gutting not to be in it next season.

I'd rather not be in the Conference, we tried it and it wasn't for us. It's for Blose teams. The Europa League isn't too bad but it's still beneath us too.
We need to keep dining at that top table so pass the vol-au-vents and let's just win Big Cup if that's what we gotta do to be in it again.

I absolutely want to be in the CL, but the Europa League being beneath us is a bit too far. Maybe if we had been in the CL for 5 plus years on the bounce but beneath us? Now? Not a chance. And with Emery's record in it I doubt he would think so.
