As ON says, we would have had a really good chance here, its shite we've missed it. Aye and we've got as thin, if not thinner, squad than we had last time we were in Europe, it would entirely blow our league season to pieces, and if we didn't win (and we probably wouldn't), there'd be question marks around Howe's job. We still don't have a squad that can manage European competition. We've proven that once already, and the squad is thinner at the back than it was then. We'd soon be playing Krafth at centre half and lamenting the sale of "the versatile" Paul Dummett. It was a good thing. Now fucking deal with it.

No, because given the quality of the opposition we could rotate our squad more effectively. Maybe we would have strengthened more given the extra workload, who knows. I'd prioritise it over the domestic cups too. The only thing that matters to me at this stage is winning something. This was our best bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always jam tomorrow though. Say we get in the CL next year, same problem. We can't win it and it will impact on our league form. Plus now there is no option to use it to drop to the EL. Are people really happy with us never winning a trophy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not, but if you look at the bigger picture, it might be for the best. Getting into the CL again will increase our spending power and attract more players of Bruno, Gordon and Isak’s level, giving us a better shot at silverware in the future. It was the lack of depth last season which killed us. And we are still in two cup competitions which we have a half decent chance of winning this season. Beat Chelsea at home and we’re in the league cup QF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osula would do his best standing in for the injured Gordon who was standing in for the injured Wilson who was standing in for the injured Isak but it wouldn't be enough. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. Someone saying us not being in the ECL this year is possibly a good thing is not anything like the same as saying they're happy with never winning a trophy.

The Fish 11313 Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 CL football means more money, better players, deeper squad. Which means better chance of competing for domestic honours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man had a mixed history when it came to cars- he owned, at various times, a Triumph TR6, several Minis, a Saab 69, Ford Anglia, Lancia Beta, but he fucked it big time by buying not one, but two Austin Allegros. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
