I ain’t bothered about Europa League just play the 2nd team we should qualify out of our group. Focus on the league. That should be our priority Easy for us, we just got spanked by spam at home.

Though perhaps you're having a laugh I agree with @Happy FoxI think we could be in with a chance of top four.

And there was the none ‘goal’ against Sheff Utd they got away with. If whoever interviews Klopp at the end doesn’t mention the word ‘sloppy’ in his interview then they’re more doing their job properly. Never thought I’d say this - but it’s a shame there’s no camera on Roy Keane’s smug face currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 4 October 2020 Share Posted 4 October 2020 Just now, Facecloth said: Slight tangent from your post, but I've often wondered, after our title win, who is the most likely team to next win for the first time. I don't mean the premier league, I mean be English champions. Surely West Ham would be the most likely of all the teams that have never been champions. Or maybe Southampton. They'd be the two biggest ones not to have won it so that makes sense. I was thinking something masively leftfield like Forest Green Rovers being attractive to invest in for a lot of rich eco conscious investors in 20-30 years time. Wonder what year the next first time winner will win it too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a full fit 11 we can beat most teams, Liverpool and Manchester City are not right defensively this season, I think if we just focus on the league we have a chance for Top 4. With the Europa League we don’t need to play our first 11 till the latter stages, our second team should be good enough to get results to qualify. This league is wide open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to be wider than many years. Even when we won it, it was only us in the running outside the big 6. This year quite a few more could be vying for the top 4 places. I just don't think we've enough fire power and are too dependent on having that first XI plus key subs. Not enough depth if injuries hit us as we've seen today.

Sunbury Fox Posted 4 October 2020 Share Posted 4 October 2020 Arguably we were worse against West Ham than Liverpool were against Villa. We created hardly anything whilst they scored 2 and missed several other big chances. And whilst they let in 7, which is shocking, quite a few of the goals were lucky deflections, and let's face it, West Ham could have had a few more against us. Really, really worryingly bad performance by us today, even allowing for the ridiculous set up and injuries to key players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, I do think we are a central midfielder and a striker short depth wise. But our first 11 is certainly good enough to go the long haul for the Top 4.Getting Champions League is a must, if we want to progress and keep our better players.
