    It shouldn't be ours either, we're going for 10 in a row. We have the * amount of money in the bag and we're already picking up injuries. I'd love us to play the B team in it as well, the games are never that difficult anyway, I feel like everyone takes it easy in the EL and plays at like 70%.

    We have a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses against AC, but remember it was inter we beat to win the cup so * the milanese they're ours for the taking

    Never played or sparta before that I can see but both are well beatable

    Ye as I said earlier this season the priority has to be the league, throw dembele/soro/turnbull in away to Milan etc. We will give it a crack. Milan and Lille priority will also be their domestic league. Lot will come down to how the fixtures run

    * sake. A would rather have been pot one in any other group bar our one. Well never win the competition but surely the players will want to test themselves against these team's so might take it up a gear to make sure there in the team for it. As long as Lennon stops picking his favourites and the teams picked on merit that will happen. Bring it on!!!

    Ac Milan of old were a great team but they are top7 team at most last few years I watched them v shamrock rovers ended up finishing 1 or 2-0 but rob didn’t really look out of place

    While I agree with you in theory, the likes of jullien ajer edoaurd etc etc etc will want to play those ties. But I'm all for rotation and using the games to see what the likes of soro Turnbull dembele are about ..

    Ac Milan aren’t the same team they once were. I wouldn’t be afraid of them if we pick of form we’ll put them out. Lille similar standard to Rennes wouldn’t fear them either. Sparta not as good as Slavia anyway

    looking forward to these games they’ll all be interesting and exciting. HH

    It's doable
    Lille 2nd top after 5 games but don't score many goals ,don't let many in either

    Lazio finished above AC and we took 6 points from them
    Rennes finished above Lille and were no great shakes

    4th it is

    These are the types of games that keep the good players we've got here and possibly attract our top target(s) going into the final few days of the transfer window.

    Also makes Thursdays nights more fun compared to playing some * Israeli or Ukrainian team.

    These sides are Europa league for a reason, they’re certainly not better than lazio or Rennes

    Coefficient points are * in the europa league, could be pot 4 and end up wiTh an easier group than if you were in pot 1.

    At least these teams wont be ten men camped in which we seem to be struggling against.

    Tbh I’d rather play teams like that Thinking big game but chance of winning if we play well than be in the CL playing likes of Bayern PSG, Real Madrid Man City n the likes where we are just cannon fodder and also don’t invest the cl money on players anyway

    Europa league is our level
