Asked whether Champions League may be out of reach now the manager added:
“I think because we lost today I had set my target and I knew where I felt we had to go that defeat might be costly for us. But you never know in football so I might be saying something different in time it is only my judgment. We had a good win at Burnley and I knew that we couldn’t afford a defeat. Overall we beat at Goodison and they beat us today so the games have been pretty tight, but I think overall we did not deserve to lose the game today.”
Regardless of our finishing position its been a season thats kept me going while all around life has been less than rosy.
Sure there’s been disappointment in the past few weeks but overall the memories I’ll take away from this season will be positive ones even if we finish 8th.
6th, 7th, 8th should get us into Europe Group Stage or qualifying in the real Mcoy or the Conference. Just go win the 3 remaining matches and the BBM (Best British Manager) will know what he needs in the summer. Dislike the idea of Thursdays + w/e matches but Europe is Europe.
They key could be Rice’s return
Agreed. And others – Spurs, Liv and Lei in particular – have been dropping points.
The reality is we have lost 3 out of last 4.A couple weeks we had to win our final 5,then it was
the last 4,now it`s 3.Europa League would be great,but probable final position will be 7th
or 8th.Still an excellent season considering where we were.
