    Not roma, wolves, frankfurt or leverkusen. Would prefer a crack at one of them in the last 16

    No one to fear there really if we play like we did across the two games against lazio and even then we weren't at our absolute best for either of those two games. Nice to go into this round with a good chance of getting a reasonable draw

    Hope we get an easy draw, that's injury ravaged, with a manager a game away from the sack and a delayed flight so no time for them to even train let alone warm up.

    We are due a good draw.

    Valencia
    Zenit
    Inter Milan
    Juventus
    Barcelona
    AC Milan
    Barcelona
    Villarreal

    Thats the last 8 games we've had in Europe after Christmas, every one against a very tough team and Europen regular.

    Ludogorets, APOEL or Copenhagen would be good.

    This is some teams routes to the final in recent years...

    2015 Sevilla - Salzburg, Villarreal, Zenit, Fiorentina
    2015 Dnipro - Olympiacos, Ajax, Club Brugge, Napoli
    2016 Liverpool - Augsburg, Man Utd, Dortmund, Villarreal
    2016 Sevilla - Molde, Basel, Athletic Bilbao, Shkahtar
    2017 Ajax - Legia, Copenhagen, Schalke, Lyon
    2017 Man Utd - St Etienne, Anderlecht, Rostov, Celta Vigo
    2018 Marseille - Braga, Athletic Bilbao, Leipzig, Salzburg
    2018 Atletico - Copenhagen, Lokomotiv Moscow, Sporting Lisbon, Arsenal
    2019 Arsenal - BATE, Rennes, Napoli, Valencia,
    2019 Chelsea - Malmo, Dynamo Kiev, Slavia Prague, Frankfurt

    Other than maybe Liverpool in 2016 and Arsenal in 2019 nobody has had a massiely difficult run. Obviously all good teams but to look and think you may only need to beat Molde, Basel and Athletic Bilbao or Copenhagen, Lokomotiv Moscow and Sporting or Legia, Copenhagen and Schalke or St Etienne, Anderlecht and Rostov to reach the semi's it's very possible.

    Rennes go fourth in Ligue 1 and can go third if they win their game in hand. Lazio beat Juventus and sit third in Serie A. Cluj had a solid campaign against both of these decent teams.

    But, yeah, we had an easy group.

    Our achievement this year mustn't be underestimated. It was one of the most enjoyable group stages I can remember.

    Tough draws every year. We're due an 'easy' game.

    Worth a mention that we had to face top seeds every time there. Not this year though...

    Having said that, we'll still pull out the most difficult draw. Classic us.

    * buzzing for the draw tomorrow! Trip wise would love a German side, however would prefer the easiest possible draw which i feel would be Apoel,ludogorets or Copenhagen, then hopefully get a good trip in the last 16.

    Anyone but Roma. Don’t fancy a trip back to Rome this soon. Lisbon or AZ for a good away day

    That Zenit team was very beatable. Too bad Fraudgers cannot do it in Europe
