Match Day Thread Europa league R16 leg 2: Manu Utd V Liverpool

them and sevilla, but out of the 2 id rather face dortmund, klopp knows them well and its another opportunity to shame spurs like we shamed utd

 

Braga would be nice opponents in next round. Avoid the Spanish teams that take this company super seriously.

 

its not even super serious its the fact that they are way better technically than us. bilbao at home are awesome. sevilla and villareal could take city, cheslea or arsenal apart never mind us.

dortmund look like they'd take any english side to town.

The thing is we just rush and give the ball away and they just play solid, keep it, and then wait to take the chances we cough up... plus they've the quality to ensure they finish the chances while we snatch at stuff.

look at the glorious chances we missed last night. henderosn ,sturrdige, coutinho.. all missed really good chances.

 

I'm disappointed we didn't win 10-0.

If we can't beat minnows like United by 10 clear goals then European heavyweights like Debrechen could pose a threat to us.

 

We've taken apart city and Chelsea... Not much of an arguement.

Bookies have us 2nd favourites behind Dortmund... I wouldn't have put us quite that high but I'm sure teams will be fearing us with klopp in charge.

 

we have in the league.

Bookies i take with a lrge pinch of salt as we are heavier betters and have more fans betting so our odds are nothing to do with actual chances

I do think you are right that teams will take us more seriously with klopp.

Look at how besiktas played us last year and it earned bilic a job at west ham where the same tactics have them in 5th by just being plain solid.

 

Dortmund it is. Away first leg is bonus I guess.

 

draw fixed.. no question

 

i dont think it really matters which game is first its purely down to different approaches

We go away first so an away goal is vital for us.

If we'd been at home we'd say no away goals.

 

Braga(POR)

Shakhtar Donetsk

Villarreal

Sparta Praha

Athletic
v
Sevilla

Dortmund
v
Liverpool

 

Exactly, and that's why I said we can beat most teams on our day

 

**** sake. Really ****ty draw. Dortmund will beat us over two legs. Our only chance was a one gamer in the final

 

Counter aegument is, ghetto past Dortmund and the draw really opens up and we stand a brilliant chance.

 

I'd rather be home first.

 

We'll ****ing smash'em!

 

Sturridge needs to find his shooting boots pronto

 

No.

 

I wouldn't have chosen it but it's a big game between two big clubs can't wait.

 

Joking apart, United have a very weak team. We should really have at least beaten them and a 3-1 or 4-1 a reasonable target.

So a draw is an underperformance for this team.

Dortmund is the best draw for us because Klopp knows them well and will know how to beat them. Their Spurs result was to be xpected as the English team played without some of their key players and the Europa wasn't a priority for them..

 

It is easy to say after the result
