These are the teams we could draw in the next round - any problems??? Union Saint-Gilloise SC Freiburg Ferencvaros Feyenoord Real Betis Real Sociedad Fenerbahce
Just checked, United can face any of the seeded teams, which are the sides who topped their groups during the Europa League group stage earlier in the season. Which happens to be the teams GF has stated above! It's funny that sides like Juventus, Roma, Sevilla all went through in tonight's qualifiers and will all be unseeded along with United What's even funnier is Arsenal could draw one of them lol
Seriously though, I wouldn't be bothered drawing any of those. Haven't checked, are Real Sociedad still good?
I think that we can safely conclude that they are certainly are no where near as good as Barca, "the team of the moment in Europe" according to GF.
Betis are ok and we know about Sociedad. Can't see an issue with the rest. Next round must only be last sixteen though? **** sake.
So Betis it is - they are fifth in La Liga at the minute (22 points off Barca) and have lost two of their last five games. I don't see them that often on TV but will try and watch them in their next few games.
Interesting that most of the others will want to avoid a premiership club. And Arsenal and Utd will want to avoid each other.
First game at home against Betis. Get off to a good start in the first leg with the crowd behind the team, then that may help with squad rotation for the 2nd tie. Betis are one of the toughest from those we could've had. Oh well nvm. West Ham at home - 1st March Liverpool away - 5th March Betis at home - 8th March Southampton at home - 11th March Betis away - 15th March Here we go again!!
I would make Newcastle favourites We are doomed. This is for Newcastle to lose. Will take a miracle for Utd to win
I think I've met the Manchester version of myself. I just wanted to reiterate what I said yesterday and that it that you never get injuries to key players.
