We need a squad for CL and having someone who has acclimatised already to our style of play will help.
-
Unless there’s a major personal issue or reason Don Unai will be here for at the next five seasons at least.
-
We beat Bournemouth and Chelsea and 4th is guaranteed imo. Those two games are the biggest of the season in terms of context .

Especially against those cheats. *115 charges….

Straight into the Swiss Model group stage CL.

Yet he’s instilled it almost instantly.

He’s shown enough in his performance up until now that he’s going to be a great player for us. Yesterday was his best yet. He’s getting used to being premier league fit and next season he will add more to his game.
-
Is this the new normal especially under this management? Don Unai has spoken before throughout his career about winning the League and CL. Qualifying for CL means 8 guaranteed games. We could get 3/4 plum ties and 3/4 ‘easier’ games. He took Villarreal to the semis. He is a master. I think we’ll get through the ‘60’s’ (points) quite quickly.
-
Bournemouth are a good team but with a rampant Villa Park and then the team are a horrible lot to play against. We can really turn them over if it’s an electric atmosphere.
-
If Don Unai wants him then who are we to complain.
-
All of our best combinations contain Pau. The second CB depends on the opposition and the challenges we are likely going to face.
-
That’s probably the first time he’s trusted his body to show his pace since his injury.
-
We can compare to Newcastle last season - they had a similar wobble last season but then they got a couple of wins together and cruised the last few games to qualify for CL.

49% possession. 46% against Man City in the win at Villa Park. We’re a good effing team.

If the players don’t have the confidence to win every game from now until end of the season then they should kindly inform Don Unai they’re not made of the right stuff.
-
I said it that we will beat at least one of Man City , Arsenal or Liverpool in the run in but wasn’t sure which teaM we’d beat however after that victory today we will do Liverscum at home. Last home game of the season CL music blaring.
-
Where was Spurs’ defensive application and desire today? Where’s their strength and defensive attributes that some were crowing about? injuries have derailed our season we have a smaller squad than most of the top half. Next season when we have a settled back line we’ll see how many goals we concede (it won’t be many).
-
Fatigue.
-
I’ve always said that we will get a win against Liverpool, City or Arsenal but I wasn’t sure which team but we’d lose the other two. That leaves Arsenal or Liverpool so I still don’t know which one we’ll win.
-
If Newcastle win their last 6 in a row they deserve to finish wherever they finish. Likewise if they don’t win another.

Class.

Yes and? The same Brentford that created over 30 opportunities against Manure. The team that you stated (loosely) that caused us disruption. Why didn’t Brentford created 30 chances against us if we’re so bad defensively? Brentford are below where they should be due to injuries and a misdemeanour from their star striker. 9 minutes of madness and they took full advantage. Even then their first goal was the mother of all flukes.
-
@TRO we did see off Man City and Arsenal with clean sheets - but that was with a very settled team. Since the new year we’ve had to chop and change our back line and midfield. Im surprised for someone who goes on about the Ron Saunders years that you wouldn’t consider the injuries and the mental fatigue that is setting in. If we get CL one or two of the players will be told to find other clubs as our Elite manager will know they’re not capable. As our Elite manager says it’s a process. And we’re ahead of schedule.

I love it when people compare us with the top 3 in fact any of the top 6 or Newcastle. The top 6 who have locked away any new competition and are able to spend vastly more than us. Newcastle who have a bottomless pit of money and dodgy deals to fall back upon. Defenders that cost 50m plus (Man City) , CDM’s costing £100m + and yet we’re only 10 points off top and still in with a shout of top 4 / CL qualification. These clubs have monopolised the top 6 positions for the last decade or so but for a few exceptions (Leicester failed and got relegated). Newcastle broke their monopoly on CL qualification but how much did they spend? Our Upper mid table squad is on the brink of CL qualification and they are wobbling slightly due to mental fatigue and the fact a lot of them haven’t been this high in the league ever. We need a win or two to get the confidence back and see us over the line. Saturday showed the effect of not being able to compete financially with these clubs. A decent CDM would have helped. Which means Dougie gets rested and McGinn in the middle or Tielemens alongside. Another good RB and Konsa plays in the centre. And Pau or Carlos get rotated when needed. Under Slippy winning mentality G we lose that game. Not having a settled line up is hurting us. When we did we were hardly conceding any chances. But we came back to draw. So maybe these guys have got a bit more character than the reams and reams of the same posts people are giving them credit for. In the summer regardless if we get CL the same 6 clubs will spend and offer more wages than us.
