Ouch. Oh well. More fun playing the better teams - rather that than some poorer team that we will never break down anyway.

Here we go again...Inter or Cluj if we go through!
 
Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA)

jeez we got it tough but exciting. Lyon then probably Inter just to get to the Quarter finals. At least the home games will be sold out.

Im gutted. I want us to get Benfica, have to hope we both get through and meet up.

Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA)

This will be a tough game, irritatingly so because I worry AVB will rest players for league games in preparation for it.

Chelsea with another easy draw in a cup match :rolleyes:

Suarez will feel right at home in St Petersburg!

Europa league at it's best, looking forward to that much more than those awful games against Maribor etc

Lyon are a good side with plenty of European experience. This will be a damn good test.

I don't think AVB will rest players in advance for EL games, he hasn't done so far, and I don't expect him to do it this time either. Hopefully we'll have a good squad to choose from allowing some rotation.

At least Lyon is a relatively short trip. I wonder if Hugo will play in goal, I hope so.

Based on what exactly?
 
Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

Well...it's either rest players for the EL game, rest players for the league game, or play full strength teams for both and then wonder why we keep letting in so many late goals...
 
Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

Why do they draw two rounds at once? seems daft to me.
