avfc1982am Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 With a lot of football to be played there will be a lot more twists and turns. We've been in much better positions than this previously before complacency has set in and it's all fell apart. Not saying that will happen but we ideally need to be in the mix around Jan/Feb to really be in with a shout. Right about now it's just about one game at a time and trying to improve.

If you look at our form for 12 months we have to be in that conversation. A bit like the calendar year 1998. If 1998 was a season we would have won the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams come and go, and right now, for the next year or two will be peak Emery with Villa. Maybe longer, but we're very much in ascent mode, and we have so many of the right tools in place, there's not an obvious banana skin to long term establishing ourselves up at the top. Very exciting. But Saying that does not make me immediately feel we'll lose our next match. Old habits etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting times. Sky will be in full panic mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Opta we have roughly the same chance of winning the league (0.5%) as finishing 11th or lower (0.6%). We also already have 5 more points than we did during our entire relegation season. And just to take a random example, in Lambert's first season here we were still only on 21 points after 25 games as late as early February. Emery's done such a phenomenal job with us already.

ejs1111 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Based on an earlier post of avg UCL point totals to qualify (69pts) for top4 in the prem... Villa only need to avg 1.68 points/game for the remaining 28 matches to finish with 69 points. 1.7pts/game for 70 points. Well below UE average with Villa during his career. We are qualifying for UCL this season. Book it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
