Europa is our standard and probably better for our manager to aclimatize to the fact that the rules allow subtle (and not so subtle) changes to tactics.
If we fluke our way to the CL, when we play anyone with tactical nous, I think we really will get torn apart.
Exhibit A: Today
Exhibit B: Any team that has sat in a low block.
We Don't Deserve CL

Based on today are we even fit for the Europa? 🤷🏻♂️

As disappointing as it is, a tournament not containing City, Liverpool and Arsenal is our best chance of silverware.

IMO after the top 3 probably all out of our depth.
United losing at the moment, wouldn’t be surprised if we field some youngsters tomorrow due to game Thursday (which we are in trouble I think)
Newcastle have some good fixtures will come close.
Going to need billy graham to get a fifth place after last week anyway so it’s fourth and possible elimination or fifth and sixth to go in europa..

For years now, I don`t even get pist off when Spurs lose, the apathy has well and truly set in after 24 years of ENIC

Levy Out?

Absolutely, his tenure has been an epic failure football wise and he has taken our club from being primarily a football institution into a business first and foremost (albeit a successful one). True fans want to see success on the pitch, not on the balance sheet.

Whilst today was hard to watch. I think many still need to realise that most of this team is still very young. With a manager still in his first season.
That’s said we are still a 3 or 4 players away from competing properly.

Not if we don't change some of our kamikaze tactics. This is all a slightly less entertaining Ossie period again.

I know I'm not emotionally invested & might think differently if that was the case, but honestly lads after your game vs. Chelsea you should've known right there & then who this manager was. There's being bold & courageous, and there's being genuinely stupid for the sake of preserving "principles" & "aesthetics", a manager who does what he did that game is in the Bielsa category of living or dying on that sword.
Games like today, in a league as competitive as the PL, are simply an inevitability with a manager like this regardless of who he's got to select from. If you can't accept that I get it, not unreasonable what so ever, but if you like him you'll need to take these lumps.

This IS the damned truth about Assieglue......
he IS a one trick pony.

Damage limitation today?
Think we will end up with a much under strength team and get battered 🥲
Lille game will be extremely hard 🥲
Makes decision a bit easier with spurs and united results.
Got to watch Newcastle have hit form and nice run in too.
If there is a fifth place and CL that is far more unlikely after the midweek games.
Europa would be an achievement and hopefully via the conference.
