Europa League Opponents Tracking Thread

Porto will be one of the favourites to win the EL

wouldn't expect too much in Portugal but with the right atmosphere, attitude and effort, all bets are off at Ibrox
 
98th minute winner for Porto. Hotdang.

If there's one thing we can take away from all teams (including us) so far, it's that they are prone to conceding a decent amount Nd defences can be got at. Potential for loads of high scoring games in the group I think.
 
Beautiful headed winner for Porto in the 8th minute of the 5 minutes of time added on for stoppages. :D

Corner kick, big no 5 defender peels back out to the edge of the six yard box and plants a beautiful glancing header right in the top corner. We’ll definitely need to be aware of their aerial threat at set pieces.
 
Feyenoord 23 minutes into their game away to Emmen, Feyenoord 2-0 up after 13 minutes but Emmen just pulled one back. 2-1
 
Young Boys 0-1 Basel after five minutes. Fifteen minutes played. Enjoyable afternoon so far.

Game available on bet365 if you have anything in your account
 
Full time Young Boys 1-1 Basel.

Young Boys played a lot like we did on Thursday, high press, lots of balls into the box. First half Basel were getting pretty physical and they really didn't like it up them, but they responded well second half. Really high energy and tempo so think we may see a similar game pattern to Midtjylland away. Definitely beatable. Pitch is a shocker, no better than Livingston. Fanbase is non existent.
 
Slightly off topic but 1st placed FC Midtjylland have just drawn away with 2nd placed (and title favourites) FC Copenhagen to stay 4 points clear at the top after 10 games.

To put 4 past them away, then knock out Legia Warsaw and then beat Feyenoord... What an unbelievable appointment Gerrard was when you think about the other names that were getting mentioned.

We could have been struggling against the likes of Progres Niedercorn and Connors Quay. Bring on the Swiss.
 
Porto 1 up against Santa Clara after fifteen minutes, Ze Luis the scorer - guy who gave us a bit of a headache in Moscow last year.
 
Wish we were playing them at De Kuip sooner. Theyve got a chance to turn around their fortunes by the time we next get a shot at them
