So any la Liga watchers? How's the team ? What are their strengths?

Granada - EL Opponent
- Thread starter bond19821982
- Start date
Written in the stars that Granada would go from playing Ole's previous club to then play his current club. Saw the second leg they had vs Molde and wasn't really that impressed considering the opposition, especially when the Norwegian season hasn't even started.
Should be an easy route to the semis honestly.
Ajax or Roma won't be an easy tie though (if United make it that far).
I can see an Ajax vs Arsenal final, or an all English final.
Quarters:
Granada/MAN UTD v Ajax/Roma
Dinamo Zagreb/Villarreal v ARSENAL/Slavia Prague
Semis:
MAN UTD v Ajax
Villarreal v ARSENAL
Can't really call the semi between Ajax and United if that's the tie though, United are far too inconsistent but hopefully Pogba being back gets the team playing on all cylinders.

I’m glad Woodward paid to have our draw ball warmed this time 
They are a pretty strong team. They knocked Napoli out and few days ago they beat Real Sociedad. It seems they have turned it around and their league position doesn't reflect how good they are at the moment. If Spurs can lose to Dynamo 3-0, any team can beat any team. I hope we actually turn up for the game.
The draw I was hoping for, of all the potential teams we could draw they look the easiest although we have a habit of making things hard for ourselves.
Happy with this.
Great away game to go to.
Oh wait....
Oh wait....
Camp granada
That tour round their Studios was pretty good.
Hello Mudda
Hello Father,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
"Kieran, is Michael at Camp Granada?"

Our biggest enemy is ourselves.
We can be motivated for Milan, will we be for Grenada? complacency is what will cost us if we don't treat it seriously.

Buen equipo una mierda, ¡eres solo un idiota, burro! Tu hermana, buen equipo, tu hermana
Was hoping for these. Will still be tough, but if we take it seriously we’ll go through.
You know I don't speak Spanish!
Tie looks a little too easy at first glance. Hope the team takes it seriously.
Good draw I believe. Really want to win this. It's our best chance at a trophy this season and I fancy us against all other teams left.
4 wins in their last 15 games in all competitions. They're in poor form.

It looks like they had a good start to the season and then have been garbage since November, in 8th. 538 has them as the worst rated team left in the competition. They've conceded the joint most goals in La Liga this season with 44 in 27 games, level with bottom placed Huesca. They're 11th in the league in goals for.
Basically, easiest draw possible for us. But Istanbul was supposed to be very easy and a loss there cost us progression in the CL.

Should always be wary of Spanish sides. Our record against them is abysmal and the games are going to be seriously piling up, Spurs is sandwiched in between the two legs.
Feel like this could be trickier than it first seems
Absolutely devestated that we've played Sociedad and Granada and we're not allowed to go. My cousin is devestated he can't come old Trafford as well, he's not hopeful Granada will be there again for a long time.
Perfect draw. I said we'd comfortably beat Sociedad, we will absolutely demolish Granada.
They've got plenty of guys who'd do well in premier league imo. Considering how bad they were when they went down 4 years ago they've rebuilt well very quickly and now solid top half La Liga team.
Keeper is good and would have some caps for Portugal by now if he'd come through a decade ago, he does time waste a huge amount though if they're winning.
I like Yangel Herrera (on loan from Man. City) and Marcis aswell, good players for counter attacking team. Think Soldado came on and scored the crucial goal last night so he's still knocking around aswell on the bench.
They're a decent counter attacking, low block team so while I expect Man. United to progress it will be more cagey two legs like the Milan game than La Real in previous round being wide open for your counter attacks.

Would have been a sweet away trip, touching 30 degrees at the moment.
Carribean.
Why did you edit your post, it would have been a nice joke?
Will the away game be in Italy again?
Cut and paste culture.
Easy as you like.

They have a 35 year old Roberto Soldado up top.
One off tie can never be sure, but we can’t lose to these over two legs I’m sure.
I’d have liked Arsenal to have to face Anax or Roma in order to get to us though, don’t like the idea of an all-English final potentially.

We are so bad against Spanish clubs this could be tough haha
Play the kids and get through
We just beat one 4-0
Probably the easiest we could get besides Prague.
But still we shouldn't take them slighly we've been struggling to score lately and we saw what happened with Leicester and Spurs. Go with full squad and do the job.
