Ooh, a 6th spot if an English side wins the Europa? I completely overlooked that.
Imagine the shame of us sneaking into the CL via that route? Mind you, I’ll take it, so long as it was accompanied by a reset under a new manager.

But we can’t win the Europa! If we don’t finish inside the top 5 in the PL, regardless of what other teams do or don’t do, the only way we are in the CL next season is if we win it.

Yep, understood. Top five or bust.
I took the post above as true, without yet reading the subsequent posts below to explain further.
Hopefully this weekend sees a little gap open to Chelsea, with a win for us and a loss for them. First things first, we have to take care of our own business against Fulham. Let’s see.

TBH I’d prefer the CL. Beat PSG 3-0, then overcome Bayern over two legs and then pummel Arsenal. Just win 3 or 4 games, easy peasy! Then Andy, Mo and Arne can all leave on a high.
Apologies everyone. My nephew gave me duff info. The little shit.

Winning 3 or 4 games in the league will probably also be enough.

True. And a fifth place trophy in the PL is definitely as worthwhile as a silly big eared trophy

Is there an easier path? We’re likely going to need it

Fully expect a draw and some injuries in the away derby on Sunday.
After that it’s our 5th attempt to beat Palace this season.

All our opponents to shit the bed forcing Slot to get at least 5th.

We’re 3 points off 3rd, and 5 points ahead of 8th.
Remaining games are against teams currently placed 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 in the table, plus our current bogey team Palace. And that includes away Merseyside derby and away Man U.
Almost anything can happen. Somehow, I’m sort of glad for the difficult final run because by the end we’ll really know whether this team and Slot have the brains and cojones to carry over to 26-27.

A lot of our rivals for the CL spots play against each other too, so 3-4 wins will secure CL qualifikation. That should be possible. Not all is lost

The only expectation left is we play with the same tempo and commitment we did tonight.
Anything less is unacceptable and will hint at a lack of professionalism from the players and manager.
