Will we qualify for the CL?

[Rigadon]

We've won 1 of the last 4 at home, 1 of the last 9 away and 1 of the last 7 games. We're not filling me with confidence.

Me neither! My point is that every fan of the other clubs involved probably feels something similar.

Emery is not throwing the league for the cups. He forever bangs on about how the league comes first.

He probably sees any European qualification as a priority.
Although I would happily miss out on the conference next year and give it a real go in the League.

If we finished in champions league this season it would be a bigger achievement  than last season tbh.

I dont even think we will finish in a conference  spot tbh as we are so defensively  shite and cant get any decent run of form in the league.

Why don't you just give in then? Genuinely you seem completely convinced that we're utterly doomed and that everything is done, What's the point? I worry you'll make yourself ill.

I think your massively exaggerating not sure why. If you think we can get champions league thats your choice  not goubg to criticise  you for believing that.

But your wording here is abit odd. 'Doomed' where have i said we are doomed? Doomed is saying something like we will finish bottom half, have to sell half our team in summer as they will all want to leave, or that we will be fighting relegation. I have said none of that in the above post. All i am merely saying is that its massively  unlikley  that will will finish top 5 because we are currently 10th playing catchup, have a poorer GD, played a game more, cant defend and cant consistently  win away from home. Those are not opinions those are facts. Last season we were in the top 5 at that stage so to finish in top 5 now it would be a remarkable  achievement  bigger than last season.

Cant see it myself. You dont need worry about my health but thanks for your concern! Im sleeping well and don't lose sleep other it. Its only football doesnt have a impact on my life outside this forum.

Why say the same thing once or twice when you can say it over and over again?

You may have a heard of it before

Remarkably, no other teams are grabbing the bull by the horns and despite our underwhelming form we are still in with a chance.

Sort out the feckin injuries and we are still in with a shout.

Massive improvement needed though.

[PaulWinch again]

I think the biggest problem is we would need to go on a winning run to make it and there is absolutely nothing to suggest that’s remotely possible.

It would require a radical change in style and tactics ( not 3 at the fkin back) and I just don’t see that happening.

[OCD]

A lot is being said about playing 3 at the back but we often take that shape when in possession. We controlled the first 30 minutes, should have been ahead and were unlucky to have a goal ruled out. We conceded in their first attack, which has been a common occurrence this season, regardless of the set-up. It was the second half when we fell apart, when he had switched to a back 4. 

[Somniloquism]

Did we switch back to that? Asking as he removed Garcia for Bailey but Konsa / Disasi / Bogarde didn't seem to be moved that far right, and in two of the goals, Bailey is playing RB.

Yeah, Warnock said we changed back on MOTD, but my recollection was that Bailey was still really deep.

[OCD]

Watching it live I thought Bailey was RWB but I've seen a lot of mentions of the shape being changed at half time. It's one thing that can be hard to tell not watching in person.
