shailen 1,997 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Play the fringe players in the first few games. Good opportunity to rotate in the early stages and rest players where we can Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For everyone complaining about the long trip to Ukraine, it takes longer to fly to Athens Wikipedia reckons they play their games in Zaporizhia, which is out east. Having said that, flight will only be 4 hours or a bit less, it's not like going to somewhere like Qarabag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was listening to the draw on LCFC and they said that it's the match most likely will be played in a different city. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SecretPro 3,297 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Happy with that group. Leicester Arsenal final. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oxtonfox 509 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Spurs and Arsenal should be through at a canter, probably the easiest groups of the lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DerbyshireFox 1,065 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Great draw, Braga will be tricky, and can’t claim to know an awful lot about AEK Athens beyond the name. High chance of progression and not too much taxing travel other than potentially Zorya. The draw hasn’t been kind to the Scottish sides, Celtic particularly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickyblueeyes 2,572 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Good draw. Really excited now. Can’t wait to see Kasper/Wes pick up our first ever European trophy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ealingfox 5,624 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Happy with that group - Braga and Athens would have been great trips. Got to be looking at winning all 3 home games there tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hammo 1,717 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 No complaints. Good draw. Should win that group. Annoyed last night when Celtic scraped in as top seeds and Milan squeezed through but all’s we’ll that ends well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RonnieTodger 3,669 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Take that group. Shit the bed when I thought we had Napoli. Shame we're missing out on Braga and Athens away days but it's a good draw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
papajdog 174 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Very winnable. Would be disappointed if we don’t top that group! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fox_up_north 590 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Not a bad draw. Ideally we'd have enough points in the bag to not have to worry about Zorya. We're definitely the scary team in the group, especially after the back of the Man City win. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lcfcnsk 299 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 (edited) https://www.visaukraine.com/ukraine-safety/#:~:text=Again%2C all travel should be,in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. Again, all travel should be avoided to the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk because of the presence of armed groups. If you’re already in the area, avoid large crowds and demonstrations, keep a low profile, and exit the region. Consular assistance will be very limited in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts.
