Europa League

but this competition lost importance since it beacem EL
BR is not gonna play his best team in this competition nor are gonna other teams
of course im gonna watch what are we doing here but players arent motivated enough for this

You didn't ask about the validity of the competition you asked if we could win it.

The competition is only frowned upon because that's what people want you to believe.. If we win it I'll celebrate it like any other trophy

Plus it gets us back in the CL

Yes I think we can and should try to win it

ok ok,but i honestly think we can not win this with this kind of play we have right now,especially when in the competition are teams like napoli,fiorentina,villareal,inter,wolfsburg,sevilla etc.
are u seriously thinking that if we tomorow meet napoli that we could win?

Of course

It's what makes us

Of course

It's what makes us

im not that optimistic but i have hopes that good games are going to get back to anfield asap

wouldn't want to go through much more of the crap from last night. No passion no structure no plan.
We are still looking at 1 decent performance so far this season so how anyone can talk about positives is beyond me.

I agree, the last thing we wanna see is no passion. I just don't understand why BR would play 4 holding midfielders in a game we had to win! Its beyond me.

we gotta stop looking at whats manc doing

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

but this competition lost importance since it beacem EL

It never lost it's importance. It lost it's prestige in the shadow of the more glamorous alternative. This year we were not good enough in the other competition, so we get to play this one until we are.

The European Cup has it's fair share of unattractive games and dull groups. What it does have is mass media coverage and a bottomless pit of cash. That's the only difference between them.

I have no problem with playing Thursday nights and Sundays. We have to play the next two Sundays as it is, and that's nothing to do with the UEFA Cup. We may not win this ccompetition, but we may as well give it a go, and it's better than nothing.

hopefully we will show a lot more here than in CL

Possibile opponents are these ones:
Borussia Monchengladbach, Club Brugge, Besiktas, Dynamo Moscow, Inter, Feyenoord, Napoli, Dynamo Kiev, Fiorentina, Legia Warsaw, Olympiakos, Sporting Lisbon, Athletic Bilbao, Zenit St. Petersburg
 

Hopefully someone can clear this up but apparantly, Everton can't play European Cup teams because they won their group. If that's the case, that would apply to all group winners, which means we can't face Napoli. (However, having won our group, we played St. Petersburg two years ago.)

Not sure whether we can play other European Cup sides from this season either.

You getting got under the collar about a cheeky little pop at the Mancs. Suspicious...

Winning it gets us champions league, is this at the expense of fourth place
.? If so would be nice if we did just that and the mancs got fourth.

I think it probably is at the expense of 4th place.

Concentrate all our efforts on this now. IMO, last chance we have for CL.... as small as that may be.

The draw for the Europa League is scheduled for midday today.

The teams left in it are:

Liverpool
Borussia Monchengladbach
Club Bruges
Besiktas
Red Bull Salzburg
Dinamo Moscow
Inter Milan
Feyenoord
Everton
Napoli
Dynamo Kiev
Fiorentina
Legia Warsaw
Olympiacos
Sporting Lisbon
Athletic Bilbao
Zenit
Villarreal
Torino
Tottenham
Celtic
PSV
Dnipro
Sevilla
Wolfsburg
Young Boys
AaB
Guingamp
Trabzonspor
Anderlecht
Ajax
Roma


Following our poor performance in the champions league we are unseeded too so we are likely to face one of the bigger teams.

I think this could be a blessing in disguise. We didn't expect to be out of the Champions League before Christmas but if we are honest with ourselves, how much further would we have got? We would have faced one of the groups winners in the knock out rounds and therefore probably gone straight out in the last 16.

Our poor form in the league means we have another shot at qualifying for the Champions League providing we win the Europa League. Looking at the sides left in it, I fancy us over any of them - if we get a grip of ourselves!

4th place is looking more unlikely as each week goes by, so I'd go as far as saying that we should now make the Europa League our priority. Winning it is essential in my opinion.

Napoli would be nice

Who says we don't care about this competition

This is about the 4th open thread on it

We love it

Teams we can be drawn against:

Borussia Monchengladbach, Club Bruges, Besiktas, Red Bull Salzburg, Dinamo Moscow, Inter Milan, Feyenoord, Napoli, Dynamo Kiev, Fiorentina, Legia Warsaw, Olympiacos, Sporting Lisbon, Athletic Bilbao, Zenit.

Don't fancy us against any of them to be honest.

Aren't even going to bother watching it. We will draw Napoli, tis a certainty.

Sorry mate. Had a quick look (I'm in work) and didn't see any. Thought it was surprising as the draws today.

Is this KO now or group stages, never know with this long drawn out arduous comp?
