Will we qualify for the CL?

[PaulWinch again]

It’s not just about that. The way we are starting games is just setting a lifeless, submissive tone. The midfield absences are mitigation, but we’re underperforming with what we do have.

Tammy should definitely start the next game, but I’d have Barkley and Sancho in as well to give us much more drive from the off.

Also Ty can’t start, he’s really not helping our play. Fine defender, but without Pau our play is so stodgy, without Tielemans there he has to play.

I genuinely think our best chance to qualify for the CL is winning the Europa now

Its starting to look that way but fortunately  for us chelsea  look tk ahve some very tricky games so that might save us

That burnley goal was massive

What will save us is that after 38 league games we'll be in the CL because we're better than most of the league. No luck or fortune involved.

Correct.

Imagine being told in September that it'd be 21 February and we would be nestled in 3rd with a cushion. Everybody would have taken it and not been too bothered how we did it or that we were worried three teams might overtake us

We’ve done really well to get where we are - let’s not chuck it now.

I think that’s basically the crux of it. We’re not doing things well that we should be doing better.

Precisely  this. How long did it take to get shot on target in this game? Against leeds at home! Leeds have improved recently but even blose caused them more problems than we did. I think it took something like 35 minutes to get a shit on target and it was a tane effort by bailey or ollie i cant remember  who.

Thats the most alarming  thing for me. We have gone back to how we were at start of season were we are struggling to create and score goals.

We are better than this

Play out better sode that is available consistently and I'd be suprised if we don't qualify through both means available.
