AVB and the Europa League

the one thing that no one can argue with is that under redknapp we were an utter JOKE in the cups...

embarassing more like.

smashed by chelsea
smashed by fulham
beat by portsmouth
dont even start me on the europa league
went out with a wimper to man u kids in the carling cup. etc etc

hopefully AVB gives a bit of respect to the cups... we have built our reputation over the years by being a serious cup side.. so its about time we added some silverware

Fulham

One thing that Harry has been consistent about throughout his career since the Spammers - he's achieved some amazing results, but his teams (including us) always got absolutely spanked at times.

I really think he'll always regret Spurs - so close and yet so far for him

Is this the same Harry that was recently accused of never rotating?

I think getting a trophy in is extremely important as it reinforces confidence gives the fans a lift an raises the profile of the club, city winning the Fa cup got that monkey off our backs had the banner at old Trafford taken down and instilled a winning mentality.

Success breeds success if like at city an spurs you have a good squad base an good support then it kicks you on a notch.

I expect spurs to do well this season.

Take Europa seriously.

You probably wont win it but it's your best chance of a trophy

----------------------

If you're talking about the majority of posters on here (and everywhere else) moaning that he never rotated WHEN NECESSARY in the competitions he was actually bothered about then yes.

Throwing a bunch of youth players into tough games seemingly randomly, along with fringe players who were already alienated, unhappy, and had little motivation is not 'rotating' - it's called 'not taking a competition you could very well win seriously if you didn't have such disdain for it'

Harry couldn't manage a CL campaign alongside the PL (with early, embarrassing, exits from the other cups). And still we were told we were 'punching above our weight'.

Cityblue - spot on

AVB has already said in his interview that he is going all out for every cup and loves the Europa and respects it. This for me is a breathe of fresh air to the attitude we adopted under redknapp regarding cup competitions like Europa. Didn't exactly help our league form did it
