    Need to see off cluj, however I don’t fear salvia atall. We have beaten much better teams in the last couple years and I feel our side is stronger now than it was then.

    it’s slavia Prague not Barcelona..

    Bring them on!!

    Away tie getting torn asunder is what will undo us and that's a lot less likely under lennon than it was under Rodgers

    Wouldnt have fancied a trip to APOEL at all.

    Slavia surely a better draw.

    Their season hasnt started yet and they got beat by Astana and Suduva last season and didnt make to to the groupe stage of the CL or the EL.

    Slavia got through to the last 16 of thr EL last season and put out by Chelsea

    They had a decent run in El last year but the game at stamford bridge was a freak game. They were 4-0 on aggregate after 17 mins.

    What's interesting is that last season they drew 0-0 at home to Copenhagen (in a match they were expected to win), then drew 0-0 at home to Genk in last 16 1st leg , and also drew 1-1 at home to Dinamo Kiev in 1st leg of qualifier.

    They then won away in Copenhagen (1-0) and against Genk (4-1), drew 2-2 in 1st leg in Sevilla and lost 4-3 in away against Chelsea.

    This is a side that sets up very aggressively in the away legs and is quite conservative at home.

    If we can get past Cluj we are in a for a cracker of a double header against a side that knocked out Sevilla and reached the last 8. A really good tester.

    I know regarding the latter but I believe they've lost the core of their squad since.

    Stoch has joined PAOK and their 2 CBs have left.

    Regardless of APOELs form their stadium atmosphere is the kind I could see us chucking away a 4-0 lead in.

    I know what you mean mate, i think we will be a bit tougher to beat away under Lennon because he will set up for a result.
    With that being said, we still could have gotten Qarabag and that would have been a tough away tie to play as well.

    Slavia Prague is a decent enough draw for us..

    Two best centre half partnership away and best goal scoring winger/midfielder..

    Their league form doesn't seem frightening starting off....

    1 nil
    1-5 against 10 men
    1 nil
    Nil nil

    None against the top Czech side's either..

    Won't be easy at all but they don't have an abundance of player's you'd want to swap in our positions. Yes they had a good run at the Europa but that can happen and they have lost big player's that they don't seem to have replaced..

    Just for a bit of realism....would

    Edouard
    Christie
    McGregor
    Forrest
    Ajer
    Johnston
    Jullien
    Shved

    Get in their side?

    Bug game tomorrow but I'm extremely confident we'll get past Cluj..

    Great game's to look forward too..

    Slavia have sold Zmrhal, one of their midfielders, to Brescia for £3.6 million.

    Was he a first teamer?

    Looks like it..

    This is the thing with a half decent run for most club's that aren't the elites (or anymore)......your team get's ripped apart..

    Looks like those 4 were important players for them.

    2 CB’s, Stoch and Zmrhal.
