I feel the same to a degree but really need the Prem teams to take it serious to avoid losing the 4th spot and it could well be our best chance of qualifying for the CL this season.

Ya thats true but europa is pretty meaning less unless your squad has no chance of making top 4. With chelsea having poor season teams like pool or spurs can sneak into that top 4. I think leichester will eventually have decline in form. Europa nights are just way to close to weekend fixtures and players get tired easily from it. Look at the struggles of pool and spurs this weekend. Atleast yall drew. Jurgen klopp really has you guys believing again. If rodgers was still there guys like origi wouldnt have a chance for glory like he did yesterday.

Some nice matchups in the Europa as well, Dortmund/Porto is the tie of the round, Sporting/Leverkusen, Villarreal/Napoli and Spurs/Fiorentina all look pretty tasty. Spurs the unluckiest of the Prem teams, I'm happy with Augsburg but trust United to get a piss easy tie :pacspit:

Yea it is a drain but 4th becomes meaningless if the Prem loses the 4th CL spot to Serie A which is a real possibility and hurts us and Spurs the most. Arsenal and Chelsea will more than likely go out this round so need the coefficient points from the rest of the teams left in Europe. But yea Kloppo has us heading in the right direction, Poch is doing good things over at WHL too :salute:

Was guaranteed :patrice:


Some real nice matchups, Juve/Bayern, PSG/Chelsea again, Benfica/Zenit looks really even to me and City benefit from actually handling their shyt in Europe this time with a nice easy draw that should see them through to the quarter-finals. Europa League up next, I'm just praying we can avoid Dortmund :damn:

It sure is cause team are reluctant to sell in mid season. Liverpool had good success in winter transfer signing suarez from ajax. Its hard to get strikers esp.
