Europa Conference League Draw & General Chat

[Foxes96]

Given how close PSV are to Ajax (2 pts behind them) is there a chance they may be more focused on the Eredivisie this season?

Potentially, but how often to Dutch clubs get at getting to a European final?

I’m confident in PSV. Roma will be a bigger challenge - especially away from home.

Roma can be very up and down. I would be totally writing off Bodo Glimt with how they they have played in this competition. I mean they beat Roma 6-1 at home in the group stage. 

[MonkeyTennis?]

I'm not sure how we will do, but these are draws against quality, challenging opposition. If we get past PSG and Roma, we can console ourselves that Marseilles will be waiting for us in Albania.

Something tells me that Marseille have their name on the trophy.  Football is a funny old game and Marseille were the first team to win the Champions League in 1993, the probably have the easiest route to the final of the Conference in its first season.  Hope I'm wrong as I'd love us to win it.  If we played them you know that Under would score.

True.

 

We shouldn’t be too confident either way. My heart was beating out of my chest for the last 10 mins last night hahaha

Tough draw, but hopefully we'll have most people fit by then and Fofana, Evans etc arent reinjured.

100% under scores if we play them, think he has like 14 goal contributions this season for them.

Yeah at this stage no team should be taken lightly but that includes Leicester as well. It's really quite an exciting competition where it feels like there are no favourites.

Their mvp in their last game was Cody Gapko,18 M, according to fotmob. LW. Never heard of him. 

[Jakemoore]

This is in our hands. No real excuse for not winning this competition. Look at the other squads in it and tell me ours isn’t the best with any real conviction. If we turn up and do what we all know we can, we’ve got this! 

[Hammo]

Eran Zahavi - Israel's all-time top scorer; Mario Gotze - scored winner in World Cup final; Cody Gakpo - Holland's next big thing

 

Going to be tough keeping those three out not to mention Noni Madueke.

 

But we've got Fofana back, which should help.

 

Like Rennes, I imagine it'll be 50/50

[Fox in the North]

Tough but exciting draw. Cannot complain if we can beat PSV, then Bodo/Glimt or Roma and the likelihood of Feyenoord or Marseille a final. That would be an awesome cup run.

[Gazza3]

Easter weekend follows the away leg so could be expensive. I m planning to be in Germany so may go early and train it from there

Perhaps Fofana would score against him home town team

[Sharpe's Fox]

We got past two teams in the last two rounds who we should have beat. Now its time to enjoy the ride in the latter stages because most teams left in it have proper European pedigree. No more talk of 'must win' or Brendan Out if we go out. Just enjoy it and back the lads.

Are psv better than rennes on paper?

I'd say quite similar

Allocation close to 2.5K possibly? 

Is that a researched number??  Hope its that high, as All STH currently and would go that far I think.

Any supporting evidence on ticket allocation?

Considering its the Johnstone's Paints Trophy etc. there are some real quality European names in it, so much for attracting/incentivising different countries teams.

On reflection it’s way too high. Be closer to 1.5K I’d imagine.

When you think we went donkeys years without a sniff of European competition I still enjoy the prospect of playing these different clubs from various countries. Particularly with teams like PSV with their pedigree
