Us winning the UECL to cement a CL place seems a real possibility and would be an incredible way to end the season.

The most stressful way to achieve CL football, but would be fantastic

Really hope it doesn't come to that, there will be enough pressure as it is!

Thought the ref for the Arsenal game was brilliant tonight!

Dune 2 is floating high on the open seas. 

I've just got back from the pics watching this (I know it's a bit late) and I have to say this is definitely a film to watch in the cinema.

I have a real dislike for Maddison!

Cmon Forest!

How many points are Utd behind us?

Yes but which of our players want to join the mighty Utd Mr Townley?

And yet, still a 9-point gap and 17 goal difference over them. But please continue.

....with games running out.

We dont need to extend the lead!

Watching all 3 of those goals back from yesterday I cant help but feel ty would have been there for all of them.

Shows just what we have missed all season. 

Just watching the game back there was a massive mings shaped hole in that defence. 

That game highlights how much he has been missed as I don't see them scoring any of those with him playing

We lease woderick!

We don't need to sell at all, but I'd still expect a big sale to avoid backing ourselves into a corner in the future.

A larger degree of churn amongst Premier league teams first teams is going to become normal

I blame the England setup. He didn’t need to be that the tournament. He’s too good for the U21s. He needed a rest and a pre-season here. 

It's easy to say with hindsight.

He would have wanted to go; This is just a cruel twist of fate that could have happened in training.

then loan them back to each other

...and as soon as Luiz is back.... "what deal?"

Yeah, I hate to say this but I’d agree with selling him on. If we get a 50m bid (as Tanswell mentioned on the Athletic PSR pod yesterday), I figure we have to consider it. He’s played little to no role all season — and we’ve had the best season in my lifetime. Pure profit from a PSR point of view as well. 
 

obviously I’d hate selling a homegrown player, but it might be the best way of not losing a “first team player” that has been integral to us this season. Only 8 PL starts this season

The queue to pay 50m for a player who has missed the entire season with injury won't need too much security 

Couldnt happen to a nicer lot!

Its good to Emery wanting to give a bit of confidence to city for the game against Madrid. They looked a bit down after Arsenal.

Poor zaniolo having to come off with the injury he got twisting away from that free kick!

Is Ederson out for them too? I heard he was earlier in the week but not heard an update? 

Doesn't really matter who is out for them with the state of our midfield and attack. 

All in the lap of the God's (with a little bit of help from Mr emery)

There have been a couple of comments about the form of ourselves and other teams in this thread which have been a bit off base. You might be surprised at how well we're doing compared to others...

Above Man City, Tottenham and Man Utd is not a bad spot to be in at this stage of the season. Also, the folks concerned about Brentford, and I'm by no means discounting them, should take a quick peek at their ranking.

Interesting that if we lose tonight we only drop to the same form as our 2 rivals, having got rid of two of our hardest fixtures.

Ill be shocked if we go anywhere near as attacking as some are suggesting.

Its going to be a fascinating game tactically!

Lol love the way they are 100% sure of Liverpool and city but there is a 0.1% chance of arsenal cocking it up!

Im more worried about a stuttering man city against real Madrid.

Need them to win to take the pressure off having to get 4th

It's a good job for the new owners that manager they immediately wanted rid of managed a few wins at the start of the season!
