Popular Post VillaAlex Posted April 6 Popular Post Share Posted April 6 There's nothing stopping us going to Arsenal and getting 3 points and suddenly 4 points in 2 games is a good outcome. It's not beyond the realms of possibility no matter how good they are. (Glass half full) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when we first started doing the playing out from the back thing there was similar criticism but after six months of seeing it actually worked most games the fans settled down and no nervousness when we do it now. At 2-0 there was a complete switch off on the pitch and that ten minute period was completely unacceptable in how we managed things. Luckily we still dug out a point but we'll be getting very little from the Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool games in the run in if we do that again.

We're currently in 4th place. Spurs still have to play Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Liverpool. I'd rather have the points on the board. Some people have to be able to say “Look at me, I was right all along”. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) before anyone loses their mind, im not saying we wont get 5th, but the data for our recent performances is really poor, and its been on a downward trajectory for a while tbh. Over the last 5 games, we have averaged 1PPG. Over the last 10 games, we have averaged 1.7 PPG. Over the last 15 games we have averaged 1.5 PPG. That is a big drop off from the first 20 games, which was consistently 1.8 to 2.2 PPG on avg. You just need to look at this, to see how our form has slowly dropped off, and its dropped in a steady, consistent way. Maybe we are just tired and finding it hard to drag ourselves over the line, dunno. Edited April 6 by MaVilla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt we’ll maintain that poor form 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Glass half full) No we're villa, we can't get 3 points from Arsenal Man utd and Spurs can, of course they can, but we can't That's how it works 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarpet Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I still have spurs finishing just one point ahead of us. That's with them winning against forest, Burnley and Sheffield utd, drawing with Newcastle, arsenal and Chelsea and then losing against man City and Liverpool. Hopefully maybe Newcastle or Chelsea can beat them. Regardless, it's still possible to get 4th from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I think we'll be fine for 5th because it'll take some unbelievable turnaround from United to catch us, which I don't think they're capable of. Cannot see 4th happening at all though. Villa willingly let the City game go during the week, and playing as we have the Arsenal game will probably follow a similar script, whereas I can see Spurs really putting it up to these sides in their games and even nicking the odd point which could prove important. Stumbling over the line into 5th and coming out of it in the Champions League would be an incredible season all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat us easily in the cup... it depends what Chelsea turn up But it's a derby game. They will be up for it. Unfortunately we have to rely on other teams now, so yeah I live in hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Fourth is still possible, Spurs are favorites now, but they are just as capable of having a result like ours today as we are. I'd expect them to beat Forest tomorrow, but if Newcastle can do us a favor next weekend by beating them, then they will be no more than three points ahead of us going into a difficult run of fixtures where they play Man City, Arsenal, Chelsa Liverpool, so we've still got a chance, we really could do with them losing a game where they're not expected to, or even better us getting an unexpected win, to put us back into pole position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Results like this can happen as well, they happen to the best sides. Our form isn't great but can be a consequence of our over performance till now. To be 4th at this stage with the amount of games we've played is something to be proud of. The wheels could be falling off due to fatigue etc but I still believe we have one last push in us. To be honest I'm more worried about our European ties which will be really tough games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
