Easy peasy.

omonia? brings a tear to the eyes.

Some long journeys there but not a difficult group in terms of quality

Not bad.

Some nice little weekend breaks there!

That’s the beauty of playing on a Thursday, closer to the weekend!

A nice weekend break away to Transnistria.

Final is in Hungary at the Puskas Arena. Decent trip that if we get there.

I’m sure ETH will have a fair idea of his starting XI for the following weekend. He should leave all of those at home for the long trips.

Our 2nd team is surely more than good enough to get out of the group here.

As it stands

Heaton
AWB Maguire Lindelof Shaw
McFred
Pellistri Donny Elanga
Ronaldo

No reason to play the first XI in any game imo.

Supposed to be lovely this time of year...

I have just seen the UCL groups. Came on to post that we are currently not at the level to do anything but embarras ourselves in any of those groups.
hopefully we can grow as a team and build a winning mentality from success in the europa and other cups we are in

There's absolutely 0% chance Ronaldo will stay to be our ressie in the Europa League whilst likes of Martial are rested.

Nice thought though.

We’ll if he stays he doesn’t have a choice, he isn’t the manager.

Also he can beat Messi’s EL record if he scores 1 goal!

Don’t mind me - Omonia for the puns on opposition names.

Really??

didnt we just beat Liverpool at the weekend??

people may say its a one off result but the performance was up there with one of the best weve seen in quite a few years, so we are actually more than capable

After all, that defence and midfield finished second in the league.

Group A: Ajax, Liverpool, Napoli, Rangers

Group B: Porto, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Club Bruges

Group C: Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Viktoria Plzen

Group D: Eintracht Frankfurt, Tottenham, Sporting Lisbon, Marseille

Group E: AC Milan, Chelsea, RB Salzburg, Dinamo Zagreb

Group F: Real Madrid, RB Leipzig, Shakhtar Donetsk, Celtic

Group G: Manchester City, Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, FC Copenhagen

Group H: Paris St-Germain, Juventus, Benfica, Maccabi Haifa

---------------------------------------------------------------
If one group had to have 5 teams and we were dropped into one of them at random, I'd fancy us to be able to qualify in top 2 from any of B,D and F. Possibly even A or E too.

He may have no choice.

There’s only 1 long trip really, 5 hour to Cyprus is a bit knackering on Ryan air economy but they will be fine. Won’t make too much of a difference to their body or recoveries than a 2 and a half hour flight to Spain would.

Resting Ronaldo and playing him in the Europa would be amazing.
