abdulaziz1 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Everything thing can happen this season, and if it wasn’t Man City, then all teams around could have a chance for the title. As long as we have the chance, let’s have a run to top 4. Hopefully Spurs, Chelsea and Leicester fail to win, would be great. Even Liverpool could still be around. With a good run and a bit of luck we might do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Only 3 teams have won more games than us this season. We have at least a game in hand on all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Mike Dean get premiership games ? ... totally ruined villa v wolves as a spectacle, with ridiculous yellow cards, ...and that today was totally bizzare ....he even looked it over on the screen.

Nigel Posted February 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) It was a really good thing to go out of the fa cup so early this year. Not only does it give us a week to recover this round but next round will give us a chance to catch back one of our games, as either Everton or spurs will be free.

Our home record dosen't feel quite so good as we've lost four but pretty much everyone bar Man. City is dropping points at home every other game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea, West Ham/ Everton will probably be the top 6 What makes you so sure those 2 teams are better than us? I think we're in the same mixer. With Spurs too. We need a good run or two along the way, but we're in the convo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think were in a great position to challenge, we probably need to be a bit more consistent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Anyone know or can list the Premier League prize money for your final league position? I presume the higher the better will still be paid out or will it be divided equally this season because of Covid/economic situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming back from being 2-0 down and then from being 3-2 down takes mental toughness and togetherness. Hugely impressed with them. I don't think the squad is great but Ancelotti is getting the best out of them. Edited February 7, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 7 days before they threw in one of the worst performances for years in losing 2-0 at home to Newcastle so they're as inconsistant as any other team seemingly below 1st this season. Only question mark is how we match up v them when we play them but we did o.k in the two games v them last season although their strength in depth is far stronger now particularly in midfield area.

VillaChris Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Liverpool on a shocking run aren't they. I had a hunch at start of the season they wouldn't make the top 4....and then their form for first four months made a mockery of that. Now their defensive issues catching up with them now and Alisson a walking error. Thought there was 0% chance of us finishing above them this season but win tonight and we're 2 points off them. Got Everton at home next which is excellent as at least one of them will drop points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) I think the next few weeks will see us slip outside of the top 10 as we have some really tough fixtures coming up and we aren't playing well. After the start we had and the early expectation it's a bitter pill to swallow but in reality a HUGE improvement, if we can keep the momentum going with decent signings in the summer we'll be a top half team next year.

I havent analysed the results but dont we seem to do better against the top half teams than the bottom half teams this season, we at least seem to play better. Anyway we have 2 games in hand and 2 points ahead of Leeds and 4 over Palace, seems a stretch for Wolves given they have only 9 games left, 6 points behind and in poor form. We also have Arsenal, Spurs, Everton and Liverpool in patchy form at the moment so it's not as if teams around us are fairing much better. if we did manage to win today we would have a 5 point breathing gap over 11th with a game in hand. With Fulham and West Brom also in our next five games, there are certainly some points for us to pick up even if we dont do well against the bigger teams. Plus this poor form cant continue indefinitely, Jack coming back in a couple of weeks will help along with the two week international break. The thing is with this season and how all teams are playing we could just as easily jump up to 6th/7th as to fall into the bottom half in 11 games time.

VillaChris Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 11th then. We really really deserved to finish top half. Would love if any statto on here could tell me last time a 55 point team didn't finish in top half of 38 game season, I bet it's never happened and indeed rarely when it was 42 game seasons. Just have to accept it's abnormally high points total for top 10 this season and keep cracking on with what we're doing as we're in a better state than some teams who've finished just above us imo. Season ending stats: 27 points clear of 18th. 12 points off 4th 7 points off 7th. Joint 9th best scorers in the league Joint 7th best defence. 8/10, would've been a 9 if Jack had been back a month earlier. That's the what if of the season. Need to get 2-3 for next season that means we can cope with a key player being out for months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 What might have been (not a title challenge but European places maybe) had their been better preventative measures taken to avoid a covid outbreak. Before that we were performing at a top level and according to the people at whoscored we were statistically one of the best teams in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
