Europa Conference League Draw & General Chat

[StanSP]

Teams we could face in the playoff. 

We're unseeded so it's the first leg at home:

 

Maccabi Tel Aviv

Randers

Bodo/Glimt

Partizan Belgrade

 

Then teams currently playing:

Basel/Qarabag (currently Qarabag) 

PAOK/Slovan Bratislava

Union Berlin/Slavia Prague

Vitesse (if they qualify ahead of Spurs) 

 

Then it could be against the likes of Roma, Feyenoord, Rennes in the round of 16...

Maybe we'll gain some much needed European "savvy" experience from it, some of the atmospheres, dirty tricks, gamesmanship etc and arm our young players in particular with a bit more of what to expect in any level of European competition. We're too nice, too polite, we need to at least get more familiar with recognizing what it's like and finding ways of countering it instead of looking like wounded Deer against a pack of Wolves every time. Then it will just come down to the football. S**t, we need to work on that part too methinks.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Not getting out of this group given the miss match of resources between us and the other teams is a **** up of massive proportions. 

 

Do not defend it.

[Manini]

Spurs would knock us out of this given half a chance anyway. Winning it? Do me a favour. 

[wardyfox86]

You just know we will get done by Slavia Prague again. 

[Unabomber]

We’re on our way!

It is indefensible 

But it is what it is 

 

 

[Hammo]

Anyone fancy a trip to the Arctic Circle in February to play Bodo/Glimt?

The strength is more in the other clubs dropping down from the EL 

 

What chance we are allowed to travel to an away game in feb ???

[OrielCaziado]

This is the big one. European glory awaits little old Leicester. 😜

I think you're looking for the Shitshow thread ...  this thread is about a competition we haven't played in yet.

[Gravel]

Keep polishing the open top bus, I feel a parade coming up ...

[AjcW]

To be fair there’s every chance spurs might have to effectively throw their game depending on when it’s scheduled. No guarantee they’re even through 

[whitlock]

I wouldn’t blink twice at getting tickets to see us in the second round of the Carabao cup at home against Newport, but this competition…. its so underwhelming.

 

Shock I’ll be there still.

The most depressing part is most of those teams would probably beat us over two legs right now

Good job we're crap so we won't...

Conte doesn’t ‘throw’ anything………

I meant more having to select their terrible squad players  

[LCFCbwoi]

Tonight was awful, no doubt, and I still wouldn’t be upset at Brendan leaving.

 

However, without this completion, there could be little left to play for this season in terms of European football now and in the future.

 

Whilst I will have little satisfaction of winning this thing, the prospect of gaining a Europa League spot from doing so is MASSIVE. We really don’t want a team full of players who want to leave at the end of the season, because we’ve made zero progress.

[tickler28]

Like it or not....need to remove our Blue tinted spectacles and realise that like it or not....this is our level....we are in no position to undermine a European tournament considering were unlikely to be in one again for a few years

They’re playing Rennes who have already won the group 

 

they will send an even weaker side than Spurs reserves

Why not?

 

Is it better to win a minor comp or suffer the embarrassment of being knocked out of it? 

[ChildrenofaLeicestergod]

A poor performance. Rodgers must take responsibility for being too scared to drop Schmeichel, Soyancu and Castagne. I would rather see U23 players than let these three have the arrogance of thinking they can't be dropped. this is Rodgers Achilles heel. We buy Vestergard and he won't play him, but I think me at 62 could give Evans and Soyancu and decent race over 20 yards for the ball and I have a brace on my knee. With Xmas coming I hope the Leicester players donate some of their wages to charity because most of them didn't earn there pay tonight, and I include Rodgers in that!!
