    There's no way we'd play weakened side's for qualifying..

    Pretty tough group but winnable. Milan are not the team they once were and struggled last night. We beat Rennes last season so we can do over lille. None of those teams will sit back so we may get a bit of space.

    No we won't.

    It's a different ball game compared to the quaifiers. The qualifiers you are trying to break down 10 men who are trying to play out their skin to sneak a result - it's like League games to us maybe even harder, the Group you are playing against more open teams who mostly all have an eye on the weekends game and who are taking it easy from last weekends game. They are slower paced and more open games. AC Milan and Lille won't be running through brick walls trying their best to beat us, they'll probably roate a few players and play an open game at a relaxed pace.

    Good games for a chance for all to showcase their talents too.

    Especially, Edouard.

    We'd probably have took 10,000 to Prague lol would have been great to go to, typical we draw one of them when we canny go.

    You do understand the difference between us facing teams with 10 defenders and a goalie (domestic competition and most Euro qualifiers), and teams that will come at us (at least 2 of the teams - probably all 3 - that we have drawn in that group)!?

    We could have had a much easier draw - I'm glad we haven't!

    Believe the French are, yes. The Italians have been slowly letting them back too, but not sure about the Czechs. UEFA aren’t allowing away fans though, with a max capacity of 30% of the stadium.

    Would have loved one last trip to the San Siro too. Incredible stadium and some great memories of trips there.

    Most teams in that draw would come at you. They are all amongst the best teams in their countries, they don’t play with 11 men behind the ball. There’s a couple of teams who might feel lucky to be there and pack their box, but it’s European football and we’ve seen it many times, teams will come to play not just Sparta, Milan and Lille.

    Tough but doable draw, Milan and Lille will be tough and our defence will need to be on top form.

    Better than the past 10 years isn't saying much though is it. Lazio are definitely a better side.

    Don’t think anyone saying our B team is good enough mate , people basically saying we are never gonna win it and to a lot of fans this season getting the 10 is the major priority so why risk our main players getting a bad injury like Bitton last night in a tournament that we will never win, keep them fresh domestically this season and use it as a platform to play and get some full game time for the likes of Soro, klimala, Turnbull , O’Connell, Robertson, Griffiths, Rogic even Scott Bain
