Europa League Group Stage Draw

[Jamokachi]

See Limassol aren't the whipping boys we thought they might be.

no, that's us

[Shogun]

Atalanta +3 4pts
Lyon 0 2pts
Limassol 0 2pts
Everton -3 1pt

The plus side is that after two matches, only one team has won so it could be a relatively low points total to get through.

Lyon are a better side than us.

Lyon are a better side than us.

Can't say I've watched much of them.

Most French teams don't seem to live up to their reputations though.

They've drawn against Limassol and at home to Atalanta so will be four points down on what they expected whereas we're probably three points down?

I honestly don't want us to go through, bizzare thing to say I know, but I dread to think what will happen when we play a half decent side, possibly another Benfica situation

I know what you mean. I feel a bit weird about it.... we are in such a mess that part of me wants out of it so we can just concentrate on the league..... on the other hand some miracle might happen so I've just reserved my seat for the Lyon game

[Escla]

Have had a non refundable flight and hotel booked to Lyon since the draw, knowing now that I will be travelling for what will be a dead rubber by then is bloody depressing.

What a heartbreaker that was. Total mauling.

Beat Lyon at home and it's hardly a dead rubber is it? We've got as good a chance as them of getting through. There are 4 games left to play.

Have we? We are shite and you'd have to assume they aren't quite as bad

We arent beating them

Worth noting plenty of teams have gone through with 8 points or less. I can see us picking up at least 7 points from the 4 games we have left.

Liverpool didn't win until the fourth group game in 2015/16, ended up topping the group and ultimately getting to the final. I'm not saying we're definitely going to get through but calling the fourth group game a dead rubber is a bit pessimistic. We're not in the ideal position but far from out of it.

Well that's that then if you've decided
