Not getting fudged at all. We knew that every single one of those players would count as an overseas player in the PL and or Europe when we signed them.

Europa League 2020/21 - Round of 16: Dinamo Zagreb (CRO)
- Thread starter Jordinho
- Start date
Its in the rules though. Apparently UEFA's rules has a hierarchy for who's game gets switched in situations like this, based on how you qualified for the competition
Yep in the rules, funny how all these things "only" happen to Spurs
- The playing 4 games in a week earlier this season, only happens to Spurs
- The losing out on a CL spot when Chelsea won, only happened to Spurs
- To the point above, Dier, Davies, etc. classification only applies to Spurs ..

No matter how you flip it, I can't see that it makes one iota of difference which game is played first/last, especially now without fans. Even with fans I struggle to see any sort of advantage in playing home last.

Why have they switched the ties just out of interest?
I'm sure other fans of other clubs can point to similar things for others. And as someone else said, the final point is our own fault
On the HG vs non HG point, we have a difficult position in that an English player (and using English = HG) who is somewhat approaching their peak is probably out of our price range.
So we either need to grow English players or, simplisitically, have a first 11 of largely non HG players (as we do today) and squad players of whom a greater proportion are English.
Our problem at the moment is that our squad players are largely non-HG, which we need to rectify. Sissoko, Moura, Lamela, Sanchez, Doherty, Bergwijn,....far too many overseas squad players - cant work if your first 11 is more of less all non HG too

Ground you know, no travel impact, weather conditions you are accustomed to? small things, they all add up.

You get all that in the home leg! The home leg being played first or last makes feck all difference!
...
2nd leg potentially goes to extra time and penalties which is where home advantage comes in to play.

I'd say playing away is an advantage if extra time. You score once, and the home side need two.
I had a quick look to see if anyone had looked in to it and this link :
https://sports.stackexchange.com/questions/15933/second-leg-home-advantage
Suggests 66% of 2 legged ties decided in extra time go the way of the home team.
Comes down to 57% for pens.
Yeah that's a fair point

Yep but you always get another 30 mins to score an away goal and go through on that rule if the scores are level.

15 season ago under Jol we started qualifying for Europe ever year.
We've been in this competition 10 times in the last 15 seasons and only made it as far as the quarter finals twice.
