It is but it’s unfortunately a good time to play us too. Need to try and frustrate them and play on the break. Similar to how Porto did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re fully fit with 2 extra days rest and we’ve both got big mid week games. Not trying to be negative but I don’t think we have any advantage over them.

Point that will be lost in all of that is we'd have actually finished the weekend in a better position than we entered it and that surely is the key for the next few weeks, build a decent points buffer over Spurs again and see how they react in some very tough games for them. If you tell me after the match tomorrow we would still be 4th, whatever the result I'd take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be thinking 10 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling we’re going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 13 Moderator Share Posted April 13 I think one of the keys for our season tomorrow is that we don't injure any of the Arsenal players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 4th still with any one goal defeat. Even defeat by two goals isn't a complete disaster as looking at the run ins you'd be disappointed if anyone turned us over big in the remaining games whereas Spurs could lose another game by 3 or 4 nil so the GD should remain in the balance. Losing by 4 or 5 tomorrow would be hugely disappointing. However I think if Arsenal go 2 up they'll take players off around 70th minute and psychologically ease off as they need to save some energy for the Munich second leg with not much recovery time. And we'll probably do the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Would it be a bad thing, if we… you know… exited the Europa conference? Is the opportunity to focus on champs league not far greater overall? Edited April 13 by Tayls 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Kingsley Coman got injured today, so he and Gnabry will be out of the second leg vs Arsenal. Both played well in the first leg. Also no Alphonso Davies. That's if we have to settle for 5th 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) 32 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Our fans really sound like a bunch of losers on this thread. Should be talking about Spurs and us and how we get top 4. Instead we’re talking about who’s going to catch us. Hopefully fan mentality can change one day. It will change with sustained success in fairness, it's just been a long time. I'd be more confident if we can get a win against Bournemouth, just nervous as our form has dipped quite a bit recently.
