Villareal are the only side there where we will need to play a strong side to make sure we get through to the next round.

Not true.

Olympiakos
RSC Anderlecht
AZ Alkmaar
FA Astra Giuriu
KRC Genk
Celta Vigo
KAA Gent
FC Krasnodar
PAOK
Hapoel Beer-Sheva
Villarreal
Ludogorets
Borussia Monchengladbach
Legia Warsaw
Rostov

-----------

what should happen is that only munchengladback from that list should give us any trouble.

the reality is that poch doesn't do cups, and we are generally awful in Europe, and all of them will be a problem

so naïve.

if we play a reserve side v any of those sides then we will lose

NO RESERVE SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First choice team and lets go for it!

Still astounds me how Israel are in the EUFA Cup....

We are capable of winning this......
but only if we play our best sides.
And...will Pochettino do that? He wants top four in the Prem.
So.... don't get your hopes up!

The four I would least like us to get drawn against are:
Monchengladbach
Villareal
Olympiakos
Anderlecht

I think we have a great chance of going through against any of the others.

For the 1st leg of the Europa League I would play squad players, then from that result decide on the team for the 2nd leg

Ludogorets are a decent side.

we should beat all of them sides comfortably with only ludogrets away causing any issues.

However we know Poch cannot understand cups and we never transfer our form over in fact we look a shadow of our selves.

Wheoever mentioned Villareal, they are a comfortable win. Replaced their good manager at short notice in the summer with an average small time manager and it shows massively. Now a very boring pragmatic negative easy to face side. Similar to when Liverpool appointed Hodgson instantly made them easier to play.
