Atletico play Real Valladolid (A) (19th) Real play Villarreal (H) (7th) Valladolid can still stay up provided they win Villarreal are safe in Europe places (this new tournament thingy?) but can still get a EL place.
Added an Edit, but it seems they are at the very least in this Europa Conference league tournament that Uefa are adding. Or at least that what I can gather.
I’m still laughing at the Alisson goal. Had about 10 messages from manc fans giving me grief just before he scored......brilliant
My mates a chelsea fan been saging for last couple weeks they could have done the double and finished 3rd/4th Or they could even lose both finals and finish 5th. Fine margins in football
Has Ancelotti failed this season? Currently 8th behind spurs who have been poor and sacked manager. Arsenal worse season in years only 1 point behind. has he really improved them in a season where a lot of teams have been poor and had a real chsnce of CL?
Yes he has. In a season where the bigger clubs have been struggling, Everton could not capitalise. Typical Everton really ...
In the end it is a question surely of what do we expect from that squad? West ham should not be better off than them, that's one thing. However did we really expect everton to be better than the esl scabs? Spurs, arsenal? Well they are ahead of one of them. Did we expect them to be better than leicester? I didnt at least. 7th or 8th sounds about right. They had a few injuries but with that squad its tip half but would require over performing to break into top 6 imo. (All things being equal) The reasons are A) pickford is england no 1 but has mistakes in him B) they are probably one cb short of a back 4 and Keane got injured. C) midfield with allan is good but it's not great is it? D) their forwards are a mix. Calvert lewin has done great but not all season but can improve. Richarilson again flatters to deceive. And they probably lack that real solid third player. E) its 4231 or 433 depending. Overall they are solid but the players are not good enough to do much more. If you ask me anchelotti's job is to get the most out of them and hes done that with Calvert lewin. When hes had allan and james and keane they have been better, simple really We could say the same about klopp. Has he got the best out of some players? Probably not this season
Athletic reporting that Trent won't be picked for the Euros. Pathetic from Southgate and it shows why we will never win anything because we don't appreciate the world class talents we have at our disposal.
