[Wayne's World]

Rangers, Arsenal or Spurs please.

 

[AltiUn]

Rangers, Arsenal or Spurs please.

God, no thanks. We've not beat Arsenal in about 2 years

 

[Wayne's World]

God, no thanks. We've not beat Arsenal in about 2 years

Due a win against them so and what better way to do it and end their season

 

[Carl]

Anyone but a premier league side.

 

[Irwin99]

Bet we get a British team. I'm not sure I fancy the London clubs who will be desperate to win this trophy (not exactly got top 4 to play for barring a miracle upturn in results) . Wouldn't mind Rangers though.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Molde would be funny, but I fear they may knock us out.

Rangers would be easy and fun I think.

 

[2 man midfield]

I fancy us to do all of those over two legs. Would be nice to avoid Milan, Roma and Arsenal though.

 

[PoTMS]

We'll get another Spanish side.

 

[lysglimt]

Lots of good teams crashed out in this round

Sociedad, Leverkusen, Leicester, Hoffenheim, Napoli, Lille

So for me - avoid Milan, Roma and the north-Londoners

Easy - Molde, Slavia Praha, Olympiakos and Dinamo Zagreb

 

[Siorac]

Anyone but a premier league side.

This. I'm happy to play literally anyone but the English clubs.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Rangers please!!

 

[Bwuk]

Rangers please.

 

[Canucantona20]

Rangers

 

[Moorhuhn]

Avoid Milan???
Outplayed twice from 10 man Red Star (both games red carded). All 3 goals from penalty.
Do we give them to much credit because of their history?

 

[dbs235]

Rangers would be class. Gerrard would have them so up for it though, might not be an easy tie.

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

My moneys on Shakhtar given our luck with draws. Would love Rangers though!
**Although that might not mean a trip to Ukraine given the circumstances?

 

[Ayoba]

We'll get the toughest teams left no doubt.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Ukraine trip coming up.
Bet on it

 

[RedDevil@84]

With our rotten luck, don't see us getting any easy team.

Milan or London teams probably.

 

[TMDaines]

Anyone but Arsenal.

 

[bond19821982]

One of Rangers, Young Boys, Molde, Zagreb

 

[Idxomer]

Granada or Slavia Prague.

 

[Hester_manc]

Give us Molde. Would be fun for Solskjær as well.

We have had some tough draws in the English Cup tournaments, so it will be nice to draw a team where we - maybe - can rest a key player or two.

 

[DWelbz19]

Some of these teams left, man. We should not be in this tournament. Can’t believe we didn’t win just 1 of the 3 games we lost in the CL. Gaaah.

 

[Markolan]

Anyone but Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal please..

Anyway we've looked gassed in the last few weeks: shit against Spezia, Red Star twice and completely outclassed by Inter for 89 minutes. AC Milan should be the team everyone want to draw

 

[PoTMS]

We really should be beating every one of those teams. We are definitely the best team remaining.

 

[Hester_manc]

Apart from United - Villareal, Tottenham, Milan and Roma are probably the strongest teams left? These 4 teams are stronger than Arsenal as I see it.

As much as Arsenal are bad, Villarreal are pretty shit.

 

[SAFMUTD]

Is going to be either Ajax, Arsenal, Milan or Roma. We all know it.

 

[Hester_manc]

As much as Arsenal are bad, Villarreal are pretty shit.

We just always seem to have trouble with them, when we meet them. Maybe I "live too much in the past" here.

 

[Wayne's World]

This Europa League is alot weaker then last season.

 

[CM]

Would only want to avoid the English teams on account of it being boring and Arsenal/Spurs probably going proper try hard against us. The field looks pretty weak in general

 

[Judas]

We'll get a horrible draw, I expect. Plenty of easier games there though, which will make it even more annoying.

 

[Ayoba]

Some of these teams left, man. We should not be in this tournament. Can’t believe we didn’t win just 1 of the 3 games we lost in the CL. Gaaah.

That away game to Istanbul still gives me nightmares! Cannot believe how bad we were!

 

[Bertie Wooster]

As with every cup draw, I just want the easiest game to give us the best chance of getting through. I'm not bothered about 'mouthwatering' matches - so no AC Milan, Spurs, Arsenal, etc.

The likes of Molde, Slavia Prague, Young Boys, Dinamo Zagreb would be absolutely perfect.

 

[Sandikan]

Late Feb, and there's still 7 more games in this cup.
Madness.

 

[Red Devil 26]

This Europa League is alot weaker then last season.

This. Really underwhelming list of teams left.

 

[Bertie Wooster]

Some of these teams left, man. We should not be in this tournament. Can’t believe we didn’t win just 1 of the 3 games we lost in the CL. Gaaah.

You say that as if we're way too good for this competition and winning it will be a cakewalk. Yes, as with most cup competitions, some ties look easier than others. But if we draw the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal, AC Milan, Roma, Shakhtar then we might not even get past the last 16.
