Europa League Squad - Knockout

[Will.NFFC]

We definitely should, but i bet we don't.

Has Marinakis really appointed Dyche and not made clear how important Europe is? I can’t imagine he’d be happy to bow out at the group stage just because of the premier league after hundred of millions invested. Dyche’s remit was surely to manage both comps?

Yeah, but I'm like 90% sure that for Dyche that will mean heavy rotation until the semi final or final.

No way - we will play a near full strength team. No Fa cup to worry about . Our only route to Europe.

And so we should.

He’ll never make the semi final with heavy rotation.

Dyche’s first remit will be to stay in the Prem at all costs. Europe is great but a distant second in the priority list.

Brass monkeys.

Certainly less appealing than Amsterdam (didn't do Braga - I was in Barbados, so dodged a bullet).

In Turkey, it could involve a literal dodging of bullets, knives etc.

PS - Some of our mates were sat near their fans last night & had a fair few coins being donated, which are an upgrade on sherbet lemons, at least.

I don’t think EM will see it that way

I agree tbh, I just think that's how we go out.

 

[orbitalforest]

Pretty good going.

Pretty good going.

Its missing 11 Ryan Yates's but apart from that I agree with it.

Must admit i wouldn't fancy going out there even fully armed with a quarter of cough candy , too lively for me nowadays

Yeah decent having half the outfield players selected , shouldn't think that happens too often , Yates was superb last night though .

 

[Will.NFFC]

Looks like Fenerbahce will have Ademola Lookman when they play us. Big signing

Think they've got us about right at 14s.

 

[the jock]

So you have to be packed in a bus and arrive hours before the game.

I wonder will these go to general sale ?

Interesting chart. According to this IF we beat Fenerbahce we play either Real Betis or Midtjylland again. In the following round we potentially play one of the top two Aston Villa or Lyon. Don't know if there are any special rules about playing a team from your own league, but it will be tough going.

Ferencvaros in 12th seem to have a potentially much easier route,
