I want us to have a real crack at going deep into this competition, but am fully aware of the toll that will place on our wonderful squad who have pushed themselves to the limit already. Do we go all in and try to win the thing or conserve and protect our top 4 status? Brendans problem! And a fantastic one to try and solve. Its been a lot of fun watching us back in Europe. May this be the beginning of a pretty special era for our club which in my opinion (and many many others who don't support us) is one of the best run around. Does anyone know how many games it would take, after Thursday, for us to win the Europa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 I really want us to win 3-0 with Barnes scoring all 3 with assists from Thomas, Choudhury and Tavares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us has seen enough of under ... i can only presume his form in training means Brendan doesnt think giving him time to shine is worth while . Anyone got any info on Rodgers view on under?

He criticised the ref in the BT Sport interview and the same in the post match Zoom (which I was on for TS). He pretty much never does this and you could see surprise in the faces of journalists on the zoom call. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We almost certainly couldn’t afford Pepe or Traore.... My point was Pepe and Traore are bang average. But in answer to your question, Stengs from AZ Alkhmaar and if we should have gone in for Bertrand Traore or Raphina in the summer who are all better players than Perez.

Fox in the North Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Think we should play the reverse of Villa. Play ALL the defensive midfielders, have Choudhury and Mendy half kill as many as possible until they get bookings. Then bring on Maddison, Ricardo and Tielemans with half an hour to go for speed and precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Boadu isn't seemingly as lethal either. They were my favourite team in Europe last season, not sure what's happened. They both now have Raiola as their agent so we won't be going near them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Assume we don't get the same ref from the first leg? Would be ideal if we had the female French ref who did one of our home games in the group stage. She took no crap when it came to diving and just let the game flow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are allowed to have the same ref for both legs. Or at least UEFA would ensure different refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachyboy Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Winning this trophy ensures a champions league place, though that's extremely challenging, with Arsenal/ Spurs in the Europa and Chelsea/ Liverpool if 2 of those teams were to win their respective tournaments and both not finish in the top 4, 4th place would miss out on the champions league, though this is unlikely, it's something to be aware of, for those that dismiss the Europa in favour of finishing in the top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
