    Used to be good, now distinctly there for the taking.

    You'd think.

    A chance for both of us to keep the English flag flying in Europe - also if we both win, it will mean that 4th place won't get Champions League...

    You may find that it only needs either to happen for 4th not to get CL.

    Anderlecht may not be the toughest team we could have got but if we take them for granted we'll be ****ed.

    Great chance to advance if the attitude is right.

    It doesn't any more as the maximum number of teams from 1 association has been increased from 4 to 5.

    Also being in the top 4 overrides the extra place - this means that the only was that 4th place does not get a Champions League spot is if we win the Champions League and you win the Europa League and we bother finish outside the top 4. This means the top 3 will be in the Champions League + you + us.

    It's a good draw. You'd be over the moon if you drew them in the QF of the CL.

    But Anderlecht look strong at home. Havent lost there since December and havent conceded at home for 5/6 weeks. And we are struggling for goals and look like a EL side than a CL one atm. So there's the leveller.

    We haven't lost at home since September. Rostov hadn't lost at home since October, and that was vs Athletico in the CL. For that matter, Rostov knocked Anderlecht out of the CL, so we really shouldn't have anything to fear.

    Of course none of that means we won't find a way to **** it up royally
