You seem very confident about winning this thing. Not saying it isn’t possible but teams such as Fiorentina, Mainz, Strasbourg, AZ, Vallecano, Sparta Prague.
None are exactly Real Madrid but definitely not in the “we’ll steamroller this lot” category.
I do worry about the qualifier too particularly if we have a summer rebuild and the squad haven’t quite gelled. Wouldn’t fancy a trip to AEK needing to get a result.
Having said all that, we should manage to go a fair way in the tournament. I would have loved the CL and the level it would have taken the club to but realistically we would have got battered.
Hopeful more than confident. However, unlike the other competitions there's no Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal etc so we've got a much better chance in this than domestically.
The qualifier is the worst bit, having to spend the summer worrying about that. Definitely potential for it to go wrong.
