Ed, assuming Chelsea win the CL, only top 3 in the PL gets to next season's CL right?

Then what if Pool win the Europa? Does it mean only the top 2 get in?

Or is the Europa an 'extra' spot?

It's just me, but I'd rather win the Europa than finish 3rd or something.

We get into CL PLUS win a trophy. :)

{Ed002's Note - The maximum is five places for the EPL in the CL under the existing rankings - if Liverpool and Chelsea win in Europe but don't otherwise qualify 4th loses out on CL with Liverpool entering the play offs and 4th entering the EL and 5th missing out entirely. I probably wouldn't start holding your breath just yet.}

I said to my friend after the Stoke match, we need to make Europa league top priority after all the injuries, even if it means finishing 10th.

{Ed002's Note - I am sorry to say but clubs and sponsors, whilst wanting success in all competitions, see the Premier League and winning the Champions League as the big goals. They would never be happy if the team gave up on the EPL to try and win the Europa League.}

Even if we went all in, by no means are we bets equipped to win it, and it's a lottery. At least if we improve, and focus on the league, we will finish where we deserve to and not rely on the pot luck of the cups.

All I mean Ed002 is depending on how we do against Arsenal and United we could have a real struggle on our hands to finish in the top 4.

I'd put first the europa league hoping to win it and gain access to next year champions league, even if it means risking dropping down a few places in the league.

Finish 6th with no europa league trophy or 8th winning the competition is a no brained for me. That way klopp gets to change the squad in the summer and gets a full season.

Saying that winning the europa league will not be easy but if we can play at are best, it's certainly possible.

{Ed002's Note - That will be far from the wishes and expectations of the owners.}
