Nope, just means England have 5 teams in the CL. No changes to the Europa League access list whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban fox Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 (edited) As highest finishing qualifiers from pl do we get seeded for group stage as per CL or is it just an open draw. Can two sides from same country be drawn together?Β Edit. Just looked it up and whilst we cannot be in a group with another pl side seeding is all based on uefa coefficients, basically that means we are likely to be in a lower pot as we have very few ranking points. There will be teams you have never heard of seeded above us as they will have played More CL/EL games than us in the last five years.

Paninistickers Posted 10 August 2020 Share Posted 10 August 2020 If this mini tournament works out, I wonder if it might whet appetite for a permanent EL 8 team end of season tournament, differentiating It from the CL and surely increasing TV revenue.Β Β Actually, this is yet another post by me on this thread.

urban fox Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 I actually honestly believe that we can do very well in this competition if we get a reasonable draw for the group stages. Probably our best shot at getting back into CL.Β Everyone dissing this competition should think about that. OK maybe some of the early group games may be at places we have never heard of, but once into the knockout stages there will be some big teams.Β Regular qualification for this competition should be ourΒ target and would establish us firmly as a "top 6" side. Regular European football is still going to attract quality players and who knows, we can look to push on from there. Anyone who thinks this is not good enough for our club is deluded. We do not have the resources to make a serious, sustained assault on the the top 4 (not yet anyway). Just look at Man utd this season, struggling for form and results, so they simply go and splash out on Fernandes in January.Β Β 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 (edited) Sometimes we are but not always. We beat Man City twice, from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in the home game, and beat them 2-0 at the Etihad. We've come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 a couple of times this season, and had plenty of decent wins throughout the season.Β Edited 11 August 2020 by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
