    I believe we will beat Milan, they are falling apart by all accounts, but I don't see us getting anything in Barcelona.

    We might sneak into the Europa league depending on other results but we won't go through in the Champions League after last night, we needed a win.

    Seeing as we both have 3 points from the two matches against each other it would fall to goal difference.

    It's over. We'd need at least 4 points from our last 2 games and we won't get that.

    If we finish bottom of the group I hope the board will be proud of themselves for selling their manager and supporters short once again. That Ajax team is nothing to write home about, if we'd pushed the boat out a bit and signed a bit more quality in the attacking areas we would have had 3rd place in the group sewn up already.

    I don't think we will qualify for last 16, i just don't see where the goals are going to come from. We need a proper striker who can score in europe, stokes just isn't at that level for me.

    Potential Europa League opponents (top two their respective groups after matchday 3):

    Swansea
    Valencia
    Ludogrets Razgrad
    PSV
    Red Bull Salzburg
    Esbjerg
    Rubin Kazan
    Wigan
    Fiorentina
    Dnipro
    Eintracht Frankfurt
    Maccabi Tel Aviv
    Genk
    Dynamo Kyiv
    Sevilla
    Slovan Liberec
    Lyon
    Real Betis
    Trabzonspor
    Lazio
    Spurs
    Anzhi Makhachkala
    PAOK Salonika
    AZ Alkmaar

    Obviously you'll have the sides finishing third in the Champions League joining those above but I'd fancy our chances against most of them if we can find our shooting boots. Europa should be our realistic target now.

    All is lost, over the 2 games ajax were better than us and we got the rub of the green at home, if we want to learn how to pass a ball just watch a re run of that game last night.

    we dont keep the ball well at all, we panic and blow chances in the final 3rd, the subs that came on made no impact at all and the players going off for them were the wrong choices stokes and kayal should have been left on and samaras and commons should have been off.


    we will beat milan at parkhead i know we will but we will not win against barca thats for sure and thats what it will come down to so a europa is the best we will be getting imo.


    we need a goal scorer and with sevco in division 2 we choose not to spend,m or didnt spend wisely, when you look at the spl top scorers its embarrissing that the likes of kris boyd and billy mccay are scoring double what our strikers are scoring.
