KMitch Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) The disrespect is already starting... Here is going to be the new media narrative this summer: Villa are in the Conference League so they'll be too distracted to challenge for the top 4... We'll be "doing a West Ham" next season, apparently. Edit: Also, watch that narrative be blown apart by the contradictory statements about Newcastle "establishing themselves" as a top club next season, even though they'll also be in Europe.

Pinebro Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Apparently Chelsea will be back next season. Spurs will be back. Liverpool will be back. Did someone forget to tell them there is only 4 cl spots available. Some of these teams will have bad seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are weird. I just don’t get this media obsession at all. Someone is saying they think we’ll challenge for the Champions League next season and then they discuss it pretty sensibly. How is any of that disrespectful?! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2023 Points totals of the fourth placed teams over the past ten seasons - 22/23 - 71 21/22 - 71 20/21 - 67 19/20 - 66 18/19 - 71 17/18 - 75 16/17 - 76 15/16 - 66 14/15 - 70 13/14 - 79 The points return we’ve had since Emery joined would see us qualify in seven of those (1.96 PPG - 74.48 points in a season). It would probably secure a top four place as the required totals seems to have reduced and levelled out over the years. Obviously it’s unlikely to be quite that simple, a lot more factors to consider. And I dare say there are some who would rather a trophy than finishing fourth. Ultimately though, it’s not out of the question. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Liverpool carry on with the form at the back end of this season? I think it's hopeful to think the 'big 6' will be as bad next season. We should still be able to challenge though.

Popular Post Nigel Posted May 30, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2023 I'd be happy to end where we finished this year tbh. Some are underestimating just how hard an impact Europe will probably be. We could be playing 50% more games next year. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 If we want to challenge for a top 4 place then we need to bring in 3/4 CL level players. Sustaining it over the season is difficult. Especially when injuries suspension and mental fatigue bites. The way we play is tiring mentally. And we saw against wolves and man yoo a 1-2% drop off resulted in defeats.

It's Your Round Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 To qualify for Europe again, any European competition, would be massive. Everything outside of that is a bonus. I’d like a good run in the ECL, but also to take the FA Cup seriously. We’re long overdue some silverware. Anyhow, let’s see what happens over the summer. We might sign some amazing players.

sparrow1988 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Two consecutive 10th place finishes in the league on the way. However, we’re going to do a back to back of the Europa conference league and Europa league meaning CL qualification for the 2025/26 season.

Especially when injuries suspension and mental fatigue bites I think the difficulty is: what is truly a “CL Player?” As there’s so many players with some CL experience, Coutinho has won it, Traore has played quite a bit (15 appearances), but most people agree those two don’t form a huge part of our push for CL next year. (Just picked those off the top of my head,) I trust Unai though, and that’s all we can do for now I suppose! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a fair post for me it’s players who will fit in with our playing style and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
