Agreed on the QF. Most of my favourite performances under Rodgers have been against Oles Man U team lol

 

I know we won the FA Cup which was obviously immense and far more memorable than had we got top 4 but I genuinely thought that performance meant we were going to be OK without Barnes and Maddison and playing a back 3 was still going to get us across the line of we could play like that.

 

What could of been, probably wouldn't have achieved anything more than we have but Tielemans wouldn't be leaving for a free or a pittance in the coming months which hurts massively.

My favourite stat at the moment is that we've won every domestic trophy more recently than Arsenal.

Yep.   And for good measure, the so-called giants of Newcastle, Everton, Leeds, and Villa.

If we won the Carabao Cup this season we could potentially add Spurs and Man Utds names to the list. Assuming that they don't win anything, which in the case of the former is something of a given

Possibly but we I thought we defended admirably vs Rennes when they launched wave after wave of attacks in the round before and I'm not convinced Iheanacho was offside for the goal that got disallowed that would have put us 2-1 up on the night and 4-1 up on aggregate. 

 

The most accomplished cup performance in the latter rounds was Man Utd in the QF's when we won the FA Cup. Total and utter domination.

Such a shame that was behind closed doors, place would've been rocking.

Win this and we'd have completed the full set in England in the last 8 years

Yeah that would be great but we have of course already done that this century!

The Rennes performance isn’t spoken about enough tbf. Our finest performance ever away from home in Europe

I think what I meant was, if we come up against the likes of Newcastle or Forest in the latter stages of cups - we've autonomously already been in such stages so many times that although there's ample chance of us fluffing our lines, we've a fair few successes at such stages to draw upon. That implosion can come at any time under pressure but its even harder to ride without anything to draw on in the past, that win away at PSV last season was just phenomenal given the way the 1st half had gone, against a team who seldom ever lost at home and on the back of such a horror show when it control of a game at the same stage in the Carabao vs Liverpool.

 

 

I think the two legged victories over Rennes and PSV have both been unrated and overlooked because they were both in the ECL.

 

99% of Foxestalk expected us to lose both in the away legs, two colossus performances.

The ECL is a damn good tournament. Some really good teams in that competition, I would love us to play in it again and take it seriously.

Me too, loved it.

 

Lot of snobbery around, It would have  been an amazing achievement to win it.

Few WHU mates are loving it and are desperate to win it. It’s just the stupid football twitter brigade that are derisory of it

I don't get it, it would have been massive for us to win a European trophy.

The ECL is a throwback to the 80s. There are lots of famous old clubs from Eastern Europe in there and the games are generally tight and closely fought because the tournament is not dominated by the money teams like the UCL.

Needs to be stand alone. I know we benefitted (if that is right?) from dropping down but the perception is that these cups are a consolation if you fail higher up.

The group stage is poor for our level, but marvellous for a glentoran or st Johnstone or any other minor team to get group stage European football. 

 

Once the groups had gone and the best minor teams play the failed EL teams the tournament blossomed into a superb mini competition. As good as any uefa cup or cup winners' cup of any vintage. The last 8 was strong, the last 4 super strong (better in fact than the Europa League last 4)....

I agree, so does the Europa league.

 

It the snobbery I don't like, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place PL get in the Champions League by failing, but none seems to mind that because of the money involved.
