Villatillidie95 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Brighton on the final day we can beat at VP, Its Spurs I worry about now. It will be typical for us all to hype it up before the game and then someone like Son, who has had a very porr season by his high standards, to stick 4 past us like last season. We have to do our bit now. No one saw the brighton result coming so mayebe there is a good chance of Europe now, it all depends on us and if we want it enough. VP has to be on it before kick off!

I trust Unai Emery to tactically outmaneuver Ryan Mason. If we bring the same intensity we did against Newcastle, with VP roaring us on, we can do this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Steero113 Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 The difference now is that we have Carlos, Kamara and Bailey back fit again and competing for places. In the last 5 games the 11 has (had to) pick itself. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post duke313 Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 I’ve said before, we just need to be within touching distance of Brighton on final day. We need to beat Spurs this weekend, Brighton will lose to Arsenal, they will also get beat by Newcastle midweek. We will probably lose to Liverpool, while Brighton will beat Southampton. Brighton will then get beat by Man City. Leaving us on 57 and Brighton on 58, with it all to play for in the final game. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chance for Europe on the last day at VP. The heroes write themselves into Villa lore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it will be that straightforward, I fancy Brighton to get an unexpected result from Arsenal/City/Newcastle but I think we are capable of 4 pts from the next 3 and hopefully get Conference. Either way, still much to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that scenario it dosen't really matter if Brighton actually do pick up something from one of those away games (I don't think they'll lose to all of Arsenal, Newcastle and Man. City). 1 or 2 points ahead is exactly the same, we simply have to beat them. They've also got to play Man. City at home on the Wednesday night before the final day while we will have 8 days to prepare. Similar recovery time to playing the FA cup SF and then going to Nottinham 72 hours later and they were really flat in that second half. I'm strangely confident for that game but we obviously must beat Spurs first and then hope they don't balance out Everton by beating one of the top 4. Of course we'd still have a chance for 7th regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing today did show is play back to front quickly and you can open Brighton up down the flanks. I think we'll certainly see Carlos starting and Konsa at RB for that game.

Fortunately due to the other fixtures their rivals have, I think it’s highly likely Leeds will need something from game. Either to remain out of the bottom three or to get out of it. Less fortunately, I’m less convinced they will actually succeed in getting something from Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Brighton have now got 5 games to play in 14 days. They will do well to beat us on the last day, surely they'll be knackered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're even ready for CL football next season tbh. Still a good chance for EL and I know the expert in the competition that we have at the helm will be desperate to get us in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we could end up with the same points as spurs but they might edge it with GD or even Goals scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could've really made a move on 4th! No disrespect, but that's a really exhausting way to look at football. If we finish 8th, its either because a) we're not quite ready yet or b) we had too much deficit to make up after correcting a poor managerial appointment which also lies at our door. Constantly expecting every other result to go in our favour after our own failings just seems pointless to me.
