Young Boys did do well to beat Leverkusen though. In years gone by I would agree that we should be a last 16 team but even back years ago that was seen as a good season, these days because of the money in football (lack of in the Scottish game) we're always going to be punching above our weight in these tournaments. Aye money doesn't always equal success but when you see the amount some of these clubs have spent its ridiculous we're even going toe to toe with them. Benfica for example spent the best part of 100 million in the summer & from the teams left, Arsenal/Ajax/United/Milan/Roma/Spurs & even Villareal all regularly spend big money (in comparison to us) on players. Half the competition have squads assembled that are maybe 4x or 5x more expensive than ours & that's including the fact a few big names went out last night. For context I think our 11 last night was maybe 20 million at a push...it's a credit to the management team/players that we're even still here & even more so the fact we put 9 by a team! Im not going to sit here and debate the fact that clubs have more money than us, it isn't a new thing. Of course the management and team deserve praise but they have built every season and I think it should be a more than achievable objective now, getting out the group's in the Europa isn't as hard as people make it out, 9 times out of 10 you get 1 good team but the other 2 are usually the same standard as us or below it so I think winning a KO round after that is an acceptable expectation, of course if we got one of the big hitters and put out I wouldn't be fussed but if we had went out to Antwerp then I wouldn't have been pleased with it. Edit : Napoli needed 3 goals after Granada scored last night, they were comfortable. Molde probably fortunate but you need some luck in knockout football.

Suppose we have different expectations, in a few years time if we win the league titles, get money in the bank from the Champions League and continue on the up I might agree with you At the moment though internally I think our aim has always been navigate the usually tricky qualifiers & get to the Europa group stages, anything after that is a bonus.

Don't get me wrong I would want the club to have contingency plans incase we were knocked out early as easily could have been the case this season but going as far as possible in Europe is vital for us, I would agree with the CL if we can navigate the qualifiers and get to the groups then it's absolutely a free hit every time we do it, the only objective we should have if we get to the CL groups is not finishing bottom.

If we make it through the CL qualifiers I would be content with 3rd in our 1st season and the parachute into the last 32 of the Europa as one of the favourites to win it.

Wont happen but just imagine we did but If it happens, just hope that Molde keeper is injured. If anyone hasn't seen it yet, should watch the highlights from last night of their game against Hoffenheim. Must've been close to 20 saved he pulled off. If ye plays like that every week, we should try and sign him. Seems like a lit of good players coming out of Norway at the moment. Went and checked out Moldes squad last night and the only have 4 foreigners in their full squad. Anyone know if they have a maximum foreigner rule or something like that over there just now?

Was just going with the post I quoted. Didn't know folk had been going on about it, or I wouldn't have mentioned it cause I agree that they would never give us one. And neither they should, if the shoe was on the other foot I would be fucking furious if we done that so can't see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Happy enough with that draw tbh. It won’t be an easy tie, but it’s a very winnable one. The rest of the draw has been quite favourable to us too. Three from Man Utd, Milan, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Roma & Shakhtar are going out and you could easily get a shock in one of the other more obvious one sided ties too. If we get through this round and we can draw a Granada, Villarreal, Molde, Dynamo Kiev or Villarreal in the next round then we have a fighting chance of getting to the semi final.

With all the scum in their team it would probably fire them up to actually play well enough to beat us too. Especially as we would already have the league wrapped up and with a good chance if us still being in Europe I wouldn't be wanting to risk any of our players getting injured off theirs. Plus wrapping up 55 at their place would just be the cherry on top of our rise back to where we belong. This season could match up to the story of how our club was formed. Which I never thought could be possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
