I thought about that, but I don't think I agree. A draw (hopefully a boring 0-0) helps keep the optionality of finishing ahead of either of them, whereas a Liverpool win makes it all the more likely we're in a one-on-one battle with Spurs. But yes, if a team has to win, then obviously better if it's Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Good new is United played 120 minutes on Sunday, play Spurs on Thursday giving us 48 hours extra rest and preparation. I think we can get a result this weekend. Imagine doing the double over United... Edited April 26, 2023 by Lord Willard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Also we are desperate for Cash and Kamara back. Just to give us some options and rotate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viivvaa66 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 i think we can assume that spurs have imploded and end up in 8th place. That means it is between us, Brighton and Liverpool. With the number of games in hand I think Brighton would be favourites for 5th place, but they have an insane fixture list. Liverpool have been on and off this season, Liverpool of old would have beaten us to one of the Europa League places, but this season I’m not sure, each time they look like their back on track, they stumble. We have the toughest run in, but Emery have done the impossible before, let’s see how we do on Sunday, an other win and we are in with a good chance for one of the Europa League spot.

IrishVilla10 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 United have some big injuries atm, if they could beat spurs tomorrow it would suit us going into Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Should have beaten Liverpool and Leicester - those 6 points would have us in 3rd on 60. I’m a greedy bastard who has 3 extra chicken nuggets for his tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post juanpablosaliceband Posted April 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think who we take our points off could almost be more important than how many we take. For example, 9 points from Liverpool, Spurs and Brighton, while losing the other two, could almost be more valuable than 10 or 11 points while beating man United and wolves but dropping points to the other three. Such is the nature of the six pointers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Liverpool were also really good that day. Leicester should have been a win though. And we should have gotten a lot more than just 3 points from Bournemouth, Palace, West Ham, Forest, Leeds and Fulham under Gerrard. Edit: I should say 2 points* from those 6 games.

maqroll Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think we have a better chance beating Man Utd than Liverpool, who seem to be playing better and have Luiz back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Brighton have 4 games in hand, we probably can’t catch Newcastle or Man Utd, and Liverpool have relatively good fixtures. I think a really stellar finish would be 5th. More likely 6th. Incredible from Unai though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post avfc1982am Posted April 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2023 If Unai had been in charge since the beginning of the season on current form we'd be title challengers. Let that sink in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is the nature of the six pointers. We can't beat Man U and Wolves and get to 10 or 11 points without a 3rd win. Only max 15 pts available from 5 games left. 11 would be 3 wins 2 draws from 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be Ashley Young's highest finish as a Villa player which is wild to think about considering he played in that MON side that had millions pumped into it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let that sink in. Exactly! That’s why I’m not particularly worried about how the season ends as I think it’s preparing for a real challenge for the Top 6 next season. We get it this season it’s a bonus that we can’t and shouldn’t give up. Todays victory is exactly the type of game under MON we dropped points in when we were last challenging for the Top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
