but there is something to go for in the league though.. no team is perfect this season and every team has had, or will have a bad run. hopefully we have had ours...
despite being absolutely awful for a couple of months, somehow we are still just about within touching distance of the top, and its all to play for as far as I am concerned
It is likely the last 32 tie will be a walkover for us.

How have you come to this conclusion? As it stands you won't be seeded, so the likes of Zenit, Schalke, Shakthar and Roma could be on the horizon. Even if you do get seeded then the likes of Krasnador, Villarreal, Bilbao, Olympiacos would give you a game.
Would be funny if you got Astra Giurgiu though.
The simple fact is that we were shocking in the summer transfer window (and clearly in the time preceding it in terms of scouting) which is why we're having this debate.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Simple.
I don't think the Top 4 will change personally.

think shocking is over the top, but at the moment it doesn't look great
wanyama been a quality addition, but so far janssen hasn't done what was hoped.
nkoudou I think offers something and needs to be used more, but our sales of chadli was nonsense.
I can see pochettino resting a lot of players for this game as he is more concerned about man utd at the weekend.

Trippier toby wimmer Davies
Onomah Dier winks n'koudou
---------------Sissoko------------------

Hopefully some much needed match fitness for toby and Davies if they are ready to play.
If we're in it play to win it.
As a fan, that's how I view every game we play.
If we're in the Europa League, and I hope we are, then what's the point of jumping out of it! Every round of every tie is a lottery as to who plays who. We may get a good draw, it could be terrible, but over 2 legs we can give any team in that competition a game.

1 out of 4 is pretty shocking IMO. Especially considering that's Sissoko is used to the league and what we paid for him compared to what other players went for across Europe who play in the same position
For years and years we have prioritised the league over European fixtures and the result is always the same. We are knocked out of Europe without giving a good account of ourselves. Not just ropey league, but even this seasons Champions League.
If the club decides that we must try to reach the very latter stages of a European competition this season then we will not get there by fielding "squad players" with a sprinkling of youth players. We will be knocked out. More than this, you are going to have prioritise some European games over league games.
Still find it amazing that some fans think we can progress in Europa by fielding weakened sides. We will be dumped out of it if or should I say when Poch does this.

Facking hell. Could be the most embarrassing Champions League campaign by a Premiership team in in history. That team is an absolute joke. Why not just field 11 random clown shoe wearing caants instead.
