True, although i'd question if the players approached that with the same energy they would have a PL game. Best players sure, but they weren't playing to the best of their ability. Hard to tell how well they'll approach the Conference league games as we've not really been forced to try so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) 18 minutes ago, MrBlack said: How are Leicester doing? And Everton, who got to the qualifying round but lost. Before you even get to the fact that that is one game with 9 more after it and 2 before it , the qualification for the qualifying round is big, but it isn't as existence defining as winning that playoff was. We could have been fined, had points deducted and lost our best player if we hadn't gone up 15 minutes ago, LondonLax said: The Champions League is not as big deal as you think. It’s the Premier League’s global reach that is important and unfortunately we missed the boat when the Premier League exploded in popularity. Us finishing 4th this season, after the ship has long sailed, is not going to make anywhere near as much difference as you are hoping and expecting it to. It will make the difference, which is why Emery has already said he’s prioritizing the league on multiple occasions. Maybe he’s wrong, brave of you to disagree with him.

He played our best 11 in both legs of the Chelsea FA cup matches despite having Newcastle and Man U as the following matches in the league (both of which we lost). He will take the Ajax game seriously. Edited February 23 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Emery is a European cup specialist, and according to most bookies, we are the favourites for this competition. To suggest that we won't be taking this seriously now we have reached the knockout stage is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Here’s what’s going to happen in those two weeks: Luton Away Ajax away spurs home Ajax home west ham away Thats a brutal run and we are not at full strength. Hopefully we win every game, but we all know that we won’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I can't decided if this is one of the togher draws in the round. Ajax haven't been themselves recently. One bonus is the travel distance is about as short as it could have been! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs home should be a game we would be confident to win or why even bother and West Ham are one of the worst sides in the league on current form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax it is. That could easy have been the final, good to go away first though, must score. 2-1 loss not a bad result, I'm assuming away goals count double if a draw right?
