Everton away - 3/11/19.

[Spaniel]

No, we automatically go into the next round of the EL this season, which starts in the new year. The only way to avoid that is to come first, second or fourth in the CL group.

I assume 4th gets nothing and 3rd gets the consolation prize of entry into the EL. Thanks for clearing that up for me,. Much appreciated.

 

[Spaniel]

Back on track with a 3-1 win.

:avbpray:

Hopefully. But it will be 100% down to the players and 0% to do with Poch.

 

[sammyspurs]

Well, had one of those shots gone in; we would have changed our setup (as would Liverpool).

8 shots on target does not equal 'it could have been 8-1'

And hitting the bar isn’t even in target

And hitting the bar isn’t even in target

It's been a target of mine for years

C'mon. We can beat Everton. They lost to Brighton FFS.

We lost 3-0 to Brighton don't get much shitter than that

 

[skywalker68]

I really hope you are right. Can’t take much more of being Brighton and Watford’s rival for most shit club.

Seeing where we were I would say we are the greater shit club

I’m hoping this is a joke

This squad can lose to anybody these days

Yep. Brighton included.

Bingo. 3rd place drops you down into the EL play offs. Which is a second chance at getting the CL next season since the EL win gives you a spot in the group stage.

If you win it. Otherwise it’s Thursday/Sunday football for the remainder of the season and you know Poch would just play the kids and not take it seriously.

I think we will win this, but I also thought we would win all of our previous games as well! Still a broken watch is right twice a day .....

According to MVP the next five games will give us five wins.
He’s based this on losing the CL final.

I would normally bag this as a win, however, like the squad at the minute, my confidence is shot.
Have supported Poch, but surely a loss here would mean time for a change. We are very vulnerable.

Well EL still gives a chance however remote of Champions league football next season.

Trying to look on the bright side.......

But I think/hope we'll finish second in the group anyway.

Can anyone see a situation where we lose this and Poch still manages to keep his job?

Certainly possible but disastrous.

Losing to Brighton didn't seem to do anything to his employment prospects, so I doubt it. Maybe Levy has just forgotten how to sack people, I don't think he's ever gone this long without filling out a pink slip.

.....Neither have the majority of chairmen. 6 years is a fucking long time in the modern game.

Or we beat them and people still moan and say he's shit

You mean he’s taking other matches seriously?

Yes. Just about any situation will work.
