That Champions League music is going to sound so sweet when they play it over the tannoy. Today feels like a good step closer to sealing top 5. A win over Wolves and a defeat for United after the international break and I would feel like we are almost there.
I get a sense that the new rules may provide more opportunities for grey areas.
There’s obviously more scope for big revenue sides, but I think Villa and Newcastle will see the new rules as an opportunity and a way to loosen the belt a little this summer - and ultimately will live with it.
I’m assuming 5th will be enough to qualify. If we win 5 it means Man Utd will need to win 8 of their last 10, and they still have to play Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton.
Thought he was decent today. He doesn’t dominate in the air and he isn’t going to split the midfield with a cutting pass, but does the basics well enough.
There are some ‘names’ in this draw, but we genuinely are easily the best side left in this now. It’s the inexperience or travel that will pose the biggest challenge to us.
