Napoli, Spartak Moscow & Legia Warsaw

[Koke]

Quality wise we should finish second or first but going away to Warsaw and Moscow in mid November isnt great. Let's see what these players are made out of. 

[HybridFox]

Positivity. We're winning this!

[Sunbury Fox]

Will need to win 3 out of the 4 games against Spartak and Legia as we aren't picking up much v Napoli, especially with our current depleted team.

[TheFiveTime]

Pretty grim group as we got a lot of the dangerous teams. But then if you're looking from the outside we are also a danger team so...

[StriderHiryu]

Awesome group! It’s tricky but it feels like a proper European group that. For the away fans just be really careful about Moscow and Warsaw. Both great cities but fans can kick off. 
 

 

[Finnegan]

That's a horrific draw for us to he honest. 

 

Moscow will be a serious slog of an away game and both Napoli matches will be tough. We won't be able to rest up and rotate the squad so easily in a lot of that. 

[Koke]

@mozartfox explain yourself fella

 

[StanSP]

2nd behind Napoli. 

[Saigon Fox]

Splendid, just moved from St Petersburg to Moscow. 😉

[Clarkielcfc]

Our weakness is teams that can rattle us… all of them with the hostile atmospheres will rattle us… time for the lads to show some steel… going to be tough this!!

[RowlattsFox]

In normal circumstances, I'd be all over the Warsaw trip. Can be a £30 return from Manchester (although it wouldn't be once fixtures are announced) 

[RowlattsFox]

Looking forward to see what celebration Vardy has in stall for the various ultras  

[Stuntman_Mike]

It's a fantastic 'proper' European group that will be competitive but I'm confident we can get through. 

I'm just disappointed with the trips we've been given when you look at the other groups.

[Tuna]

That's a pretty tough draw.

[filbertway]

Man the boys have dented the confidence if some of you are scared of Spartak and Legia

[blabyboy]

I think we can do an Italian job.  We're finishing top.

[PatrykJ14]

Legia Warsaw fans will smash city centre and everything around😂

[Foxes1]

Easy group let's face it if any of them were any good they would be in the champions league. 

[CosbehFox]

Second on account of our away form but we really shouldn't fear anyone of them. 

Napoli - traditionally Italian teams play second XI in the EL and show no interest until the knockouts. 

Spartak - in dreadful form, Russian journalist on Totally Podcast predicted that a Russian team won't win a game in the European group stages 

Legia - be full of industry but low on quality 

 

Spartak and Legia are the sort of teams Braga would dismiss easily and we dealt with them easy enough last time out

I put third as we’d then go into the Europa Conference League and it’s our moral duty to prevent Spurs winning anything. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

I frigging love being in Europe. 
 

Home games are going to be important in this group. Warsaw and particularly Moscow are not going to be inviting conditions. Win at home, draw away.

I may be completely wrong but I believe 3rd place doesn’t drop you into the conference league?

The fixtures could be key here If we get a favorable schedule and get Legia/Spartak games early that will help as the first two game weeks are only two weeks apart in September.

 

In terms of getting some players back to fitness i.e. Evans, JJ, Vesty... getting Napoli later in gameweeks may help give us a chance of topping the group. 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Some group.

Moscow away in September is much better than October/November/December. So hopefully:

 

Moscow away

Napoli home

Warsaw away

Warsaw home

Moscow home

Napoli away
