But it’s a team full of world class players, they can win games when they play badly. 1
Jakemoore Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 (edited) “We won the fa cup” doesn’t excuse the fact that with 5 games to go, we were 7 points clear and should have finished comfortably in the top 4. We were 12 points clear of Liverpool not that long ago, and now they’re level on points and ahead of us on GD. I appreciate that top 4 for us is an over achievement, but when you spend 68 out of 71 games there over two seasons, you have to get CL in at the very least, one of those seasons. Winning the FA Cup was amazing. Memories for a lifetime. But saying “we won the cup” when we should have finished top 4 and didn’t, just let’s the players off the hook.

A cup win and top 5, build in the summer and we can continue moving forward. I’m disappointed with how this is looking like ending up I still have some hope but I’m not going to be ashamed of the team or say they are bottles after another fantastic season 2
whetstonefox Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Just win the Europa league next season, it’s Europe, it’s winnable and it’s a ticket to the champions league. Of course it’d be great to be in the CL next season but it’s looking unlikely and it’s our fault. Plus hopefully we’ll all be back in the ground 1
Tielemans63 Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Super League scum in the top 4 places. We've only got ourselves to blame but for them to do what they did, and get away scot-free, it's just all wrong. 4
jimsmallman Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Imagine how much we'll be buzzing now when we beat Spurs 2-1 in the last minute and Chelsea have been held to a draw at Villa. You know we're never going to do things simply. Also... if we finish fifth and win the Cup... that'll do. Some fans dream of that. I know I did when we were in League One. Yours Sincerely, A man midway through a divorce who still at least has his football team 1

casablancas Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 We have a trophy. One of the most prestigious in the fookin world... so we drop outta the top four, disappointing yes game changing ... probably not. Yes the financial clout would be nice but you know what ... that trophy and May 15 will live on in our memories forever. Falling out the top four, frustrating but it’s not gonna be immortalised.
FoxyJim1987 Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Villa will beat Chelsea final day and we will leapfrog them. Heard it here first. 1
peach0000 Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Just now, MGLCFC said: Exactly. People need to remember where we were 13 years ago. I don't think Man U fans will see the EL final as nothing and if we are in that competition, perhaps we should be looking to win it. Not even 13 years, two years ago I dreamed of Europa League football. When we were finishing mid table I often wondered whether I would ever see Leicester in Europe again or whether we would slowly drop back down. I would take the conference league if that was all that was on offer

It hurts a lot but end of the day we won a fvcking trophy and we’ve been trumped by teams with massive budgets. Nothing we can do when you’ve got Perez missing sitters and Chelsea can rotate their full front 4 worth over 100 mil. I know the answer is CL football helps to invest and break that barrier but what can you do when it’s a glorified closed shop anyway. Have to prioritise the Europa League. 1

when_you're_smiling Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 The fixtures have fallen nicely for Liverpool also. About five games against teams that had nothing to play for, where as I think the only team we’ve faced with nothing is Southampton who had an FA Cup and 9-0 on their minds. We can definitely forget about goal difference being an issue. They’ll put six or seven past Palace in front of their own fans. 1
An Away Move Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 2 minutes ago, KFS said: We aren’t good enough lads. Simple fact. We don’t have the squad depth compared to the clubs we’re up against. I’m as gutted as anyone but it’s a simple fact of the matter. The way the ESL clubs have it set up they basically have their monopoly anyway. Nope. This is too defeatist. We were one Perez missed shot away from making this game tonight redundant. Or one party away from a full strength side against West Ham. 2
Grebfromgrebland Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 PWe need to strengthen and go again next season. If we finish 5th 2 seasons in a row that's a massive success for club like ours. Chuck in the fa cup and it's pretty good. What makes it so painful is that we start the sessions so well then fade at the last hurdle. 1
Pliskin Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Keep this team together.... add some quality, and we could genuinely win the EL. I just hope the pundits and media don’t paint it as a “bottle job”. Because that’s the kind of crap that helps turn players heads. It’s been another great season, being on next season. 1

We need better, they’ve got better. Simple fact of the matter 2

That could have been a defence last season when we had to deploy clowns like that wolves loanee in defence but we’ve got a deeper squad this season to the extent that the likes of Praet, Ricardo and others Haven’t had game time . We have just played poorly in key games once again
CosbehFox Posted 19 May 2021 Posted 19 May 2021 Also guys I hate to be that boring cnut but huge likelihood that European games are going to home fans only. From a pure view as a supporter and follower of LCFC, there’s a bit of a prestige surrounding the CL and we may have to lose a player but we’ve been there before.
