Let's be honest, the only thing that will have sunk us if we don't get top 4 is ourselves. It was there for us, it still is, but we need to raise our performances.

Europa is our best chance of silverware so I won’t be too despondent if fifth isn’t enough for CL.

I will be supporting Bayern tomorrow regardless.

If Arsenal beat Bayern then can 5th place still get top 4?

Yes Barry, the team that finish 5th will also finish 4th

Then we need a Liverpool or West Ham miracle for 5th to get 4th

We’ve no chance of winning it - we couldn’t put our strongest line up out when it was 12 games to get to the final - the new expanded tournament means it could be 16 - we will do our usual, get through the group, win the odd knockout tie and then rest half the team so that we are fresh for a league game the following weekend, get knocked out and then lose said league game. Rinse and repeat

Good chance Arsenal win tomorrow I think- Bayern are missing Davies, Sane and Gnabry on top of a few others, all huge misses. Pretty sure City will progress.

No chance with us or West Ham i don't think.

Arsenal have every chance of winning tomorrow.

Arsenal should be beating that Bayern side under tuchel.

Yeah still have Arsenal as favourites for this tie.

they can still finish 5th

Spurs are not good enough for the CL, I don't want to see us in it because we were lucky, the football we play is good but we are not of that quality, it's all so Spursy at the moment, hopefully, Ange can iron out that Spursyness

lol at those who think Arsenal will get through that tie tomorrow - absolutely no chance, they don’t have the minerals. At best it will be a heroic defeat.

Yeah I’m not too fussed, Europa is a decent comp and we should be competitive. We’re early in our project with Ange.

The concern is that Newcastle and Villa are making up ground on us - Villa finishing above us twice. We don’t want to be out of the CL for too long

Pretty sure Sane has been passed fit to play.

Europa has been great this season. No team in England bar City maybe is too good for it. We are one of the three best sides and got absolutely battered in it

I'm really not fussed about sneaking into the CL through the back door.

I only want it if we earn it through coming 4th. If we finish the season playing like we did v Newcastle but get aCL through 5th I'd be worried about next season.

I still think you might sneak through, go 1 up in the first 20 mins and they will be bricking it

Was always going to be Europa, CL was a fantasy for some fans, but this is more our level and be less frustrating for those Supporters, not at all disappointed with that

Have you seen us lately

this is really not true. It's pretty much going to be in play all the way until the end of the season

the extra CL spot that is

Because of the fact that points are rewarded for each match and not just each tie, it's basically pointless trying to predict the coefficient stuff. It's too variable.

For example, Liverpool beating Atalanta on Thursday but not going through would still give England an extra 2 coefficient points

But there are very realistic scenarios in which we end up with the extra spot, you don't need big surprises like Liverpool going through
