A draw or win against liverpool probably gets us 5th/6th It will yes. I think we can get 7th win 3 more wins as long as we beat Spurs and Brighton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Seen this on a Villa FB group and thought i'd post it in here. As tough a run in we have, it's all in our own hands and the teams we have to play will now see us as tough opposition to face. While Brighton have games in hand they have a tough schedule Edited April 26, 2023 by imavillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lainux Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Big push for last few games! Can see the squad looking bit tired last night(even Emery said the same) and at Brentford. We can do with some players back and the team take some rest and refresh for the next game. Emery is getting the maximum from everyone, hopefully tiredness won't be our downfall. Big effort and push lads till the end! Edited April 26, 2023 by lainux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We're effectively in a mini-league for 5th-8th place now, and our final three games are against the other members of that league, which is a bit mad. I'd obviously be well chuffed with 7th given our season, but the tides change so quickly in football that I have to think getting Europa this season would be absolutely massive for this club.

Pinebro Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Sadly, the more i look at our fixture list the more I get increasingly convinced we'll end up finishing 7th or 8th Edited April 26, 2023 by Pinebro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Spurs is the weak link and I don't think they will get more then 60pts.As long as we beat them I think we will do enough to get past 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw or win against liverpool probably gets us 5th/6th Most likely scenario I think is 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses. Would probably move United to the loss column and Brighton to the draw column. Crazy that which teams we lose to could determine it. That would put us at 61 points. Is it enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be tight, Bob, whatever happens. We just need more points than one of the other teams in the top 8, I guess, but it's going to be a nervy few weeks before we know Incredible position to find ourselves in, all things considered.

It really is. I’m trying to enjoy it but also want to hurl. Did the calculator with 2 wins, 1 draw and came to this. 3 wins I think secures us Europe.

On paper, winnable matches but with their fixture list it’s hard to say. Will be between us, Spurs, and Brighton on who misses out. VP needs to be rocking for both.

Tayls Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We’ve got the hardest set of fixtures out the lot I reckon. Any of those sides can easily turn it on when they need to and how often have we seen it against us in the past. Liverpool and Spurs have both been terrible this season but could easily grab a win. Wolves are always a tough opponent and Brighton are excellent. I think we will lose to United this time around, they haven’t been brilliant but there is a reason why they have been around the top 4 all season. So difficult to predict.

Villa87 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I’m just nervous that we have had such an outstanding run there is a chance we have a blip. If we put in 3-4 wins from the next 5 we would have put in champions form over 15 games - nearly half a season. Huge ask against very tough opposition.

It's a tense situation but I do feel a bit better after the Fulham win last night. I also don't want us all to be disappointed to miss out on Europe and forget how well we did to even put ourselves in contention for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same vein, we can beat any and all of those teams on our day too. The fact that we have to play teams around us should be viewed as more of a blessing because they are 6 pointers and put things more in our hands. If we deserve Europe, we'll make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I think the Wolves game despite being the easiest on paper might be our toughest game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
