Getting through the knockouts and into the round of 16 would be excellent and anything more than that dreamland. Add to that a run in one of the cups and keeping 4th place please. No pressure. Don Unai thrives on pressure. 4th?! Pfft he'll want top 3 next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 If we can do well then it’s more likely that 5th place also becomes a CL spot. Which is eminently achievable for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get last 16 or even quarter finals would hugely benefit the club to solidify as a top 4 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs, Chelsea and Man U will go far in the Europe / Conference league which should help. I think Liverpool will struggle with their new manager / identity, and we will do well to get into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) The reaction from 'fans' in the middle east south Asia and Africa on social media on us qualifying is hilarious. Like there's no rivalry between the 'big six' it's just as though they have a god given right to qualify every single year. It was these asshats the super league was proposed for. Also if they think we're happy with 4th once they have another thing coming. Sod what Chelsea or Man U are up to, if we get 70+ points it's ours. When Emery was offered a job in the Premier League again I think this was this thinking - Edited May 16 by VillaJ100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with fewer injuries and those couple of red cards we could have been challenging for the title further into the pointy end of the season, but in the end the gap is pretty huge to the top 3. Depends what happens at Liverpool I guess. I'll be daring to dream again in August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what happens at Liverpool I guess. I'll be daring to dream again in August! With Klopp going Liverpool are there for the taking. We could easily have got 10 more points and they could get 10 less. Same results as this season, but let's beat the bottom team, not cock up 2-0's twice and get a win v Newcastle. That's your 10 right there Edited May 16 by VillaJ100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 The guys on Guardian podcast were making the point about us being in the 4th pot because we've zero recent pedigree in the competition. They reckon we'll be the best team in the fourth pot and the one team the bigger guys will want to avoid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Back to preferred draws for a moment, I think drawing Juve woud be nice. I believe we owe them one. A game with Real Madrid sounds tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been proven that he makes a massive difference so worth not getting too ahead of ourselves We still put in a performance that has literally never been done by any team against a Guardiola team ever. It was statistically a generational performance. Ridiculous to play down that achievement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Real Madrid, Munich, Juve & AC, Sporting & PSV and probably the crappiest teams in our own group. Girona and Monaco would be a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, any of the following - Pot 1 Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Dortmund or Barcelona Pot 2 Atletico, Juve, Benfica or Milan Pot 3 Sporting, Celtic, Lille Pot 4 Monaco, Bologna, Stuttgart I want some big nights and big teams!
