A draw would be a good result for us in the LFC-LFC game. Man City should handle Spurts. Yeah a draw would be good for Liverpool/Leicester, especially as we have Leicester next with a chance to reel them in even closer. I really think it's Leicester's 4th spot to lose. We'll have to duke it out with Everton, Chelsea, West Ham and Spurs for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Just realized that our games in hand are against Everton and Spurs. If we were to win those matches, as of the current table we would be in 4th place having played the same number of games as everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 It's crazy to me that we're in February and you can look at the table and genuinely say we have a chance for Europe. This season has gone far above my expectations. Unfortunately, I just think we're a bit too inconsistent and in the end we'll fall short. It seems whenever we're close we lose and then have to start again. Unless we lose every single game from now until the end, whatever happens it's been an absolutely fantastic season imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Any one else feel like the fixtures have fallen really well for us this season? Just took a look at the end of the season fixtures, and about 6 of the last 8 are against teams towards the top of the league. Hopefully we are in a position to make them big, meaningful games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew 2-2 with Atletico Madrid an hour ago although they tend to be bottom half and just about staying up so more like us from 2011-15 than our 90s version if you compare them to us. They did actually get to europa SFs in 2017 and narrowly lost to Man. United. Deportivo La Coruna are now in Spanish verison of league one if you want to know what happened to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefered it to the awful Blue away kit we had in the prem that season. I loved that run, Bilbao finished 2nd that season and Bordeaux won french league in 98/99 so we knocked out some strong teams.

abdulaziz1 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 People are complaining about the squad, but in reality, we have a reasonable squad. It’s just we’re not using most. Next season we can add whats needed if we’re in Europe. If you want good players to fill the squad then you need to rotate. To ensure that, having extra fixtures will help that case. As I always say, let’s take it step by step. A huge game against Brighton. Win that and I can see other teams failing to get points. A gift from Bruce would be great. Even Man Utd games would still be important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The last great European night we had was ajax Ill never forget that year with atheltico madrid when collymore scored and the roof almost came off villa park. Imagine we scored again and went through? There would be no roof left at vp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
