Reality is that we are the team that every other club wants to draw. They will look at the league we play in, the fact that we conceded 5 goals to Antwerp ( every other team will think they can do that at least and not concede as much as Antwerp!). That’s reality. BUT bring it on, let them be complacent. We are now punching above our weight. We have a chance with this team and management team. We need some luck in the draw but it’s all about enjoyment now.

Avoid Man Utd and hope Man Utd get a hard draw and sack it then you just never know

Over last 2 Europa league games we conceded most of any team that went through but scored the most. Olympiakos went through with 4 conceded and 5 scored not saying they have the weakest defence as not all teams played same opposition but perhaps we want a team that gives up chances and concedes goals.

We, along with Manu had the biggest winning margin of all the ties.

There are no bad teams at this stage of the competition. It's just that some are potentially better than others.

Antwerp were a decent team who did pretty well in the group stages even beating Tottenham. I thought their defence was suspect against us but they only conceded 5 goals in the group stage. So maybe our attack is better than we think. The presence of Morelos and Kent is going to give any team we come up against food for thought.

At the same time, some of the goals we conceded to Antwerp will make other teams think they can score against us.

In any event, whoever we get in the draw is going to treat us with respect.

I can't believe there are no German teams remaining!
