54 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I don't know why, but I am actually confident we can do something in this. I'm probably setting myself up for massive disappointment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've got no idea how good Anzhi are, all I know is that people pick them on FIFA because of Eto'o. Any trip away to Russia is going to be tough I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Its the signing of Willian that scares me, Eto'o isn't as good as he once was and the rest are nothing to shout about but Willian really does scare me especially with Debuchy being cup-tied. I think we can get through but it will be very difficult, if we can get past them though i think we can start to dream as the teams left are very even.

It might be wise to play Santon on the right to counter Willian, letting Haidara start at LB. Danny had a good game against Kharkiv, but I just have a bad feeling about him tracking Willian. And I don't think we'll be able to use MYM outside as we did in the first game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea viktoria plzen could be the dark horses, if they repeat the form from the last round when they went away to napoli and won 3-0 and then followed up with a 2-0 home win, also top of the czech league. After winning 5-0 on agg against one of the strongest sides i doubt they will be fearing Fenerbache. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Napoli played a second string in the 1st leg due to going for the league though but still impressive none the less. Hard to say who are the favourites as I don't know enough about the teams but Chelsea (who I've my money on), Spurs, Lazio & Zenit would be the standouts for me. Spurs and Chelsea seem to be taking it seriously regardless but you don't how much the others will although Eastern European teams always tend too due the gravitas being bigger for them. Absolutely no idea if we'll get through, Anzhi look great on paper but again not seen them play and they'll be a little out of practise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really comparable. We shouldn't have ever lost that second leg. If this team shows up over two legs we have a very good chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Aye agree i think it will be very difficult ( would probably have more confidence if Debuchy and Gouffran wasn't cup tied) but i definitely think we can win. I'm sure Anzhi will look at it in a similar too, they will think they can win but they will know it won't be easy. Even cup tie IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If we had the team that we can field in the Premier League available for Europe, I'd fancy us. Not sure about our chances with the available Europa squad though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
