Groundhog63 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Fwiw, I'm pleased with the draw. Joking apart, I'm ok with Man City in the cup. Regardless of how many players we have that have played and performed at the top level we, as a club, haven't. Not consistently, not for years I didn't expect to beat Man U in the cup final. Said at the time, while we were celebrating getting there, they weren't. I think, wanker that he is, Ten Hag said "you don't get anything for winning semi-finals" All these "elite" teams have that little bit extra. Talent, determination, focus etc etc. That's why City came back from 3-1 to snatch a draw. It's why we, seemingly, can't beat Liverpool. We will tho and these 6 games added to our growing experiences going forward will help mold NUFC upto those levels. The more we play them the better we'll get at it.

Troll Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 It's only the group of death for Dortmund and PSG, because they have to play us and Milan instead of Copenhagen and Antwerp. I don't think there's anything to be scared of - PSG are going through a big transition stage, Dortmund just replaced Bellingham with Sabitzer, and Milan's best player is a Geordie.

Elliottman Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Absolutely buzzing with that draw, this is what it’s all about being back on this stage. Must be so exciting for the kids around the city as well. Class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, and for this season I don't think there is any real difference to finishing second or third in the group. Finish second and get to experience at least 2 knockout games Finish third get a chance to go deeper into a tough European tournament. all good for getting some real top leave experience in the lads legs and Howe's psyche Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been dossing around with the small time teams for far too long and have grown used to losing. We, as fans, don't have the mental strength you need to be a true winner yet. But it will come! We've all got to learn and grow as a club! Rome wasn't built in a day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) This is definitely helping get over the Sunday result like. Took about 3 days to get over the disappointed but it's been replaced with the buzz about this. Can't wait.

54 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 One thing that is beneficial with this draw, is the fact the the longest flight time is only 2h 25m, will allow disruption to recovery time to be a minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Be fascinated to see how all 3 deal with our press and how much pressure we apply, especially Psg. Definitely think we'll catch them on the hop, they're used to playing teams that drop and give them space and possession in league games but how many times do they have to deal with the press we have. No reason why we can't get 7 points from the 3 home games and best at least one of them away too. Nothing to be scared about and can't wait for the first game now, it'll be electric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Class draw, rather be playing accessible places than somewhere hard to get and dodgey fans. Was in Florence yesterday and great to see a load of Rapid Vienna fans on an away day, got me even more excited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Dortmund is the pick of those away games for many reasons both footballing wise and transport/accessibility wise. Both games in fact against Dortmund will be soemthing to behold. Can't wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
