Answering some of your questions, I think we will not be complacent at all, Sevilla fans in general are weary of the tie against you, we remember how Fenerbace and CSKA Moskow beat us at this same stage some years ago albeit being "easy" opponents compared to other teams. Yes a lot of Sevilla fans were happy to draw you but only because we avoided teams that seemed stronger on paper. I followed your entire PL run last season and personally I would have preferred Monaco or Napoli! Yeah....if we were in the same form as last season you might have a reason to worry. We have managed at times to play ok in the Champions League and we've certainly got some great results but even in that competition the performances have been nowhere near as good as a lot last season especially at home.

Our only saving grace is we've only lost 3 home games in 18 months so maybe our home form might carry us a little bit. You will 100% go through. I just hope we exit the CL without embarrassment.

Lako42 Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 Well at least as fans we can thoroughly accept our status as massive underdogs. Historically, that is when we are at our best as fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times it sounded simply immense but at other almost the same corporate day out we have at a big club in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 I expect us to suffer another heavy defeat away from home, only positive being a hard-earned 2-1 at home to exit the Champions League on some sort of minor high note, a thanks to the fans.

AjcW Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 One thing that has bugged me a little during our bad run, both home and away, is the fact that we haven't at any point played for a draw (perhaps boro but i really don't think that was intentional!!) Why not just stick 6 in defence like Pulis has done for WBA in a few games against top opponents this season... try and somehow get a 0-0 and go for them at Home. Same goes for when we play current top 6 Prem Sides... we're clearly in a fight so why don't we start playing for points rather than just wins. There seems like no in between for me currently, which is surprising given we have an italian in charge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc old boy Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 the first half was terrible,ronaldo should have put the game to bed twice,they scored an 85th minute own goal and grap the winner in injury time,who actually watched the game and who is just looking at the result and saying oh look they beat real madrid, they were good for the last 7 minutes ,but thinking about it that would probably be enough against us at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant tell you which is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first case we'd need to win by one goal in the second leg or hold onto another 0-0 to get to ET, in the second case we'd need to win by two. You are right to mention them though. Any result would be much improved from our perspective if both teams were given an extra goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 complacency will be their only weakness and hopefully they will underestimate us and we can use that to our advantage by surprising them. we need to use the surprise factor and press them all over the pitch and make it a battle. they have just beaten Madrid and will look at our league position and think we are cannon fodder. we need the spirit and determination that saved us from relegation and won us the Premier league.

Chico1958 Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 Sevilla still 40/1 to win CL. i'd only bet on them if they beat us............. would never against us. That's why I always fail on Super 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget them stopping Real's run, they are second in the Spanish league behind only Real and in front of Atletico and Barcelona. That proves what a strong team they are. If this tie is played 100 times, we may win 5, based on current form. Let's hope the CL miracle continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 We must go to Sevilla and not concede a hatful. At home...in front of a packed KP, the tv cameras and a vociferous crowd, I genuinely don't think any side in the CL will have an easy night. As long as we are 'up for it'. If we play like we did v Chelsea, I can see an aggregate score of Sevilla +4/5 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
