Prso's headband 35,890 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Would like to see us go deep in the EL but even after last night I think we could potentially get to the semi or final of the ECL if the players and management were up for it and treated it the way West Ham did last year. Don’t think it’ll happen though. Our performances in Europe since reaching the final have been really disappointing, almost like at least we tried kind of thing. I’d have loved us to cement ourselves as a half decent European outfit especially in the EL, but we seem to have lost that aura that we rode on for a few years under Gerrard and Gios first season.

RoboBearToo 399 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 On seedings West Ham Macabi and Rackow looks best. At least if we get West Ham we'll be the top seeded side in the group. Although obviously Zagreb would be better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the basis of last night mate the only thing going deep in the EL will be other teams, in us.

East Enclosure Row N 2,847 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Mixed emotions today...... Champions league - money is great, but do I want to sit through another 6 humiliating gubbings? Nope! You can't bed in new players or show your best team off whilst getting a cunt of a thrashing Europa league - less dosh, but we can be competitive. We can look forward to games instead of dreading them. We can show players off to their best abilities. Bottom line - money, or have a chance of winning games? It's the latter for me.

BlueAvenger 10,484 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The Champions League is where we want to be playing every year. We weren’t good enough and have missed out financially. We will struggle in the Europa League too because we are a poor fuckin team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superallysbears 7,825 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Europa for me is just an after thought after that performance last night, the league and cups are much more important imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 31,236 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I've gone right off the CL. The Europa is an exciting tournament. Until we can afford to buy £10M+ players, this is where we belong. Looking forward to the draw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
