You can only keep finding gems to replace the big players sold for so long. Credit to them for still having an ok season but it’s a game we should be looking at for 3 points regardless of the situation. Since we battered them 6-1, they've only won 6 games out of a possible 27. Yet somehow, De Zerbi keeps getting linked to top jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have no plan B so will play their high intensity attacking football against Arsenal, I can see Arsenal carving them open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of but you can guarantee they will get those 6pts from the Burnley and Sheff Utd games and make up the goal difference too so we really do need to get more points on the board before we run out of games to do so.

Every point from now on is points Spurs need to get from the Top 3 and Chelsea. If we draw with Chelsea then Spurs must do the same, if we beat Chelsea the pressure on Spurs is huge. they would HAVE to beat one of those four teams....

Looking at some our defeats this season such as the Chelsea one I see Lenglat has been at the back and at times with Carlos. He did a good job but I think we look a lot more solid with Tores at the back. He seems to bring the best out of his centre half partner too.

Yep, we can assume that Spurs beat Burnley and Sheffield so they are equal points and equal GD. Villa play Brighton and Crystal Palace. Spurs play Arsenal and Man City. We both play Chelsea and Liverpool. It comes down to whoever does better in these 4 matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper it looks like we should finish ahead of them easily...why do I have this horrible feeling they will get more points in those 4 games than us? Must be mental scars of the past.

Must be mental scars of the past. Because under any other manager that is exactly what would happen, but this is Unai Emery's Aston Villa. We dont do fatigue. We don't do excuses. We win.

imavillan Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 We really need to beat Chelsea Arsenal are no certs to beat Spurs. It's a derby and anything can happen, that, and Spurs home form v Arsenal is pretty good the last 20 home matches in all competitions v Arsenal it's been W 11 D 4 L 5 that dates back to 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 7 hours ago, Pongo Waring said: IF we do make Champions League next season don't forget we play a guaranteed 8 games in the group (League) stage. 2 of those games will be against POT 1 teams (Barca, Real, Bayern, PSG, Dortmund, Inter, Leipzig). Another 2 will be against Pot 2 teams ( Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Benfica, Atalanta, Shkhtar, AC Milan) Then another 2 from pot 3 then another 2 from the same pot we will be in which is Pot 4. We will have to finish 9-24 place in the league to make the playoffs. I think we can do it. I think we the new format is way more exciting for teams like Villa. 8 group stage matches. Probably the reason klopp decided to leave liverpool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More exciting to progress in UCL but I'm pretty sure we'll have less memories/success because of it, as dropping to UEL would probably resulted in more realistic chance of winning trophies, given Emery's success at that level.

Whilst it's possible I'm happy to believe it is possible also, much the same a s the European run last season when people had that same defeatist attitude. I admire your faith and belief, anything is possible, right! And imagine, Brother, that sweet satisfaction should that happen. So much so, that I would bathe in its residue, if that's ok with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
