I don't care if it's the Europa League. Seeing Villa in Europe again will be awesome. Last time we were in it was 10 years ago when we got knocked out in the qualifying round by Rapid Vienna and we were playing our kids like Bannan and Weimann (who very soon after became important first team players ironically).

Keyblade Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Provided Liverpool and Leicester draw on Saturday, if we win our next 2 games, we'll be 3 points off Liverpool (or even level with them) and Leicester with 2 games in hand. All of a sudden the race for 4th is definitely on. I imagine Chelsea will likely be in the mix too given how they're going with Tuchel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't feel that we will get the required points at a minimum of 60 maybe as high as 65 based on how the team has played for the last couple of months. Form has ebbed and flowed for sure, but the last 2 months encapsulates the run from Wolves through to United, where for the most part we were outstanding and turning heads left & right, then Covid, then straight into 6 games over the course of 17 days. I'm not saying we will or won't hit 60 points, but your logic is flawed imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I am normally of the opinion that the goal difference show the real table before it's finished. Right now we're 7th best, where 3rd to 7th is a toss up really. We could get Europe if we mobilise for the last three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've beaten one of those teams already on their own patch. The other is Brighton who we should have beaten at VP. We've won 2 in a row a few times already this season. We're just lucky in the way the fixtures have fallen that those 2 wins will almost certainly put us in and around the top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for him, he’s been having an amazing season and stood a good chance of an England call up. I don’t think we’re at Leicester’s consistency levels just yet so I like them being a thorn in the side of the Project Big Picture bunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Game vs Sheffield U on March 20th has been moved due to their schedule in the FA cup. Apparently they will move our game against Spurs to this date instead. Not sure if it effects our chances but Spurs might still be playing in Europe by then so might be tired or rotating players.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Looking at our remaining games and taking in to account injuries like Cash’s I can see us getting around 20 more points from now until the end of the season. That was enough to finish 8th last season. Whilst it wouldn’t mean Europe I think it has to be seen as a good season and something to continue to build on.

ender4 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Still only 4 points behind Liverpool in 4th place, with 2 games in hand. 4th is ours if we want it badly enough and the stars align. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
