Europa League expectations

[Amato 3,016]

Tough draw. Where do you see us finishing in the group? I'm going for 2nd, I know it's optimistic but I would always fancy us at home and I think we've shown we can grind out draws away

[SkylineBlue 23,333]

To do the football world a favour and fucking humiliate Villareal as punishment for their unforgivable unveiling of Santi Cazorla.

[Vanoli 4,625]

Can see a real narrow points spread between 2nd and 4th. Couple wins at home and the same dogged, resilient away performances as in the qualifiers and we're in with a fighting chance at 2nd. Gut says we'll just miss out in 3rd though. 

[Inigo 32,526]

A lot depends on how good Villareal are this year, but Moscow will be a tough ask. 

At this point I'd bet 3rd.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

6 points at home

4 away points 

[BlueThunder 8,453]

We will pure get smashed oot in the first qualifying round.....

[Broxi 11,484]

This might not be the hardest group but it's probably the closest group. Villareal will win it probably and then 2-4 is a lottery. I think we'll finish 3rd behind Spartak tbh, maybe even 4th being realistic. But anything 3rd or higher is a great achievement

[King_gazza 1,065]

I think we can finish 2nd.

We've every chance of beating Moscow and Rapid Vienna at home whilst also picking up points over there.

As I said in the other thread depends when our home game falls against Villareal because if they've qualified and our last game against them is at home then there's a good chance they'll rest players.

[Bruno's Manbun 2,631]

Went for 3rd, but hopeful for 2nd if Alfie can keep his fucking toys in the pram

[Ryan_1 1,136]

Optimistic 2nd. 

Just glad we've got this to look forward to. 

[Drumloyal 14,966]

Think we can sneak 2nd.

[hammer time 653]

2nd then onwards to Baku

[NeoGeo7 10,502]

If everything goes well I can see us grab second but in all likelihood third is probably most likely.

Moscow will be first with a 3 way fight for second.

[BrotherTJ 172]

Voted 3rd. 

It's gonna  be between us and Rapid Vienna who gets the slot.

[Lloyd 10,756]

18 points 

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,647]

Money in the bank, good trips for the travelling support, a bonus, enjoy, as long as we win the league I'm happy.

[OhW 4,669]

Hoping for 2nd place; could be anything from 2nd - 4th.

[bornabear 6,202]

With a wee bit of luck (which is needed in a qualification group), I can see us getting through.

 

[Smile 26,600]

Make money.

[ForeverAndEver 71,471]

First, all day every day

[.Williamson. 82,178]

Realistically I'd say we'll top the group 

[j1mgg 3,766]

Have a party

[MasterD 7,435]

2nd-4th will probably be pretty close.

We'd be doing OK to get 3rd IMO.

[graeme_4 34,462]

2nd is a possibility, but I’d stick my money on 3rd.
