They’re a better side than we look currently and winning that tie is worth £5million in prize money. Plus they’re 3 domestic games into their season plus the Genk games, so they’ll be weeks ahead of us in terms of fitness. chris182, The No.9 and Roy Hobbs 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,839 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Easier draw than last year, Servette seem weaker than USG then PSV have lost Max, Simons and Gakpo since we played them Really we should fancy our chances, though can’t say I’m overly optimistic Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s a tough ask after Saturday but a positive atmosphere at the start of the game is going to help the players, if it’s negative then… Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
