icouldtelltheworld Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Think it's probably a good thing for us that West Ham won tonight, players could well start looking at us as a decent chance at winning a European tournament. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd think potential signings will look at us, an English club managed by a guy with several European trophies to his name, and will see us as strong contenders/potential favourites to win a European trophy. Should provide a boost to our recruitment this year that we wouldn't have had if we finished 8th. Of course, that's until we lose to some Albanian team in the qualifiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I would love for us to give this competition a real good go next season, I don't want us to play a really weakened team with wholesale changes at any point in this competition next year. 1 or 2 younger players like Archer or Tim if they are not on loan somewhere then yes, but alongside our stronger 1st team players as a supplement. You can see from the players and fans at WHU how much it means to win this trophy. I want to experience that as well. We haven't won a trophy for so long, and I don't expect this trophy to be a gimme, but we stand as good a chance as any in this competition next season. Winning trophies becomes a habit, and we need to start somewhere. It has been too long! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 West Ham winning it last night has definitely taken the gloss of our win next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning trophies becomes a habit, and we need to start somewhere. It has been too long! I don't think there's any chance of us not taking the competition seriously. We might have to rotate our squad more, which will hopefully see Digne, and a few others of similar quality coming in to the starting line up but not materially weakening us. Obviously, we might choose to do that in the premier league games or the Conference league games depending on the opposition. Either way, but will be given the proper treatment by Emery I feel we need to have a core of at least 15 outfield players that are all of similar quality for it to work without form suffering in the league. Currently I think we have quite a drop off after around 12 outfield players, much like West Ham this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's we are being linked with players like Lo Celso and Tielemans, they don't massively improve the starting XI but are rather another option of similar quality.

VillaChris Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Does 5th make CL next season then as Uefa going to give two extra places to leagues that perform best and I presume this season's european performances will be taken into account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, Unai lives for european competition, so I am 100% certain this mistake won't be repeated. To do it though, we need a stronger (deeper) squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra two spots for 24-25 CL as it's being expanded to 36 teams. So the best two performing nations in the coefficient will get two extra spots, England would have received an extra spot in the last 6 seasons if it had applied. the better English teams do next season means more chance of getting that 5th spot.

None of their players would get near the PL. They lost their last game to Austria Klagenfurt. Their GA in the league suggests that they let in a load of goals.

Depends upon next season's performances in Europe. No idea how it's calculated, but the knock-on effect from West Ham winning the ECL is now having an extra team in Europe next season will presumably only be a positive for that coefficient/whatever.

We have UE now, but we can't take any games for granted before we play them. We will start as favourites against most teams, but favourites don't always win. As Juventus will find if they play us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't hurt having 8 teams in Europe, the better they do the more likely England will top the coefficient for 23-24 Country coefficients | UEFA Coefficients | UEFA.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
