You're the 2nd or 3rd to mention that already. I must've missed the memo where we ended up in the Europa after they put us out. Wonder how they'll do in their second leg vs PSV next week? We are notoriously slow starters and were absolutely awful in that game. We were also missing 2 of our 3 key players from last season in Europe, 2 other big contributors we'd sold on and had a number of players making their European debuts for us. It was never going to be an easy game no matter who we were playing and we got caught with our pants down. We turned it around in the second leg and were still only at about 60% doing it.
By the time the groups come around we will have Morelos and Kent fit to start games, Davies fit enough to partner Goldson every week, Yilmaz bedded in and Tilman, Lawrence and Matondo with more games under their belts. I highly doubt, just like Malmo last season if we got them later in the year, that that result would repeat itself. The amount of people on here who continuously downplay our European achievements and standing whilst being right at the front of the queue for dishing out the abuse when we inevitably do get a bad result never ceases to amaze me.
