The Immense Struggle to avoid the European Conference League

Whether Conte stays or goes I can see us really falling away now as we don’t really have anything worth fighting for after we fudged up CL qualification.

6th is the absolute highest we can realistically achieve imo but I don't think we will win another away game and even the wins at home could be less forthcoming than usual.

I just think our disgraceful mentality is going to really magnify in the run in especially when playing teams who have something to play for and who fight to give everything.

There is a real danger regardless of who the manager is that we will end in 7th which is conference league or perhaps even lower.
 
interesting season, spent more in transfers but not on the first eleven or players that the coach needs.

with porro, udogie, sarr, romero, royal, skipp, kulu, betancur - guess we can look forward towards better times ahead if we can fill out the rest of the roles with similar quality.
 
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Conte hasn't been booted yet. Get him out ASAP. If after Saturday our chances for top 4 diminished even further, there is no way we will be anywhere close at the end of the season if he's still our manager.
 
Would like to not be in Europe than that league. Maybe no season of no extra games might help. Lets be honest we play 20 games to qualify only to get knocked out
So its not just the players with a brick mentality, its the fans too. Why would you not want to be in a European competition? It’s realistically one of the only things we could actually win. The fact you are happy not being in Europe just to try and finish top 4 next season speaks volumes at how fudged the mentality is throughout the club.

I would prefer us to get top 4 and maybe an FA cup win. (Its a shorter route, and even then we still fudge it) Whoever our next manager is, I would be happy to progress in any competition to be fair. But at the moment our chances playing 100 games to win the European league I don't hold much hope. And yes its all very well to keep believing we will turn a corner, but Spurs more often than not has not delivered. One day.........
 
I am also thinking maybe one season out of any European competition, might shock Levy into thinking we just cant keep scrapping by and might also have him change his approach. If it meant long term that we have some success in the long run then yes I will take it. Quite simply how we have been rolling hasn't worked out. And yes it has been improvement from the 90s.

Sometimes things have to get really bad before they get better

All it will do is shrink the transfer budget.
 
I think we'll pick up 16 points.
What games you going for? We could lose against Brighton and win at Utd and Pool knowing us!

And it might then make our scouts do even better! I hear what everyone is saying, but it gets a little disheartening when we do get into Europe only for the players to bow out how we do. I don't know the answer but something gotta change
