bannedfromHandV Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looks like Lille are going about as well as we are in the league so should be a good matchup, shame we’re at home first leg though slightly less of an issue with the removal of the away goal rule. Didnt we play (and beat) Lille in the intertwobob cup years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewieGriffin Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Some Lille players the average English fan might have heard of; Nabil Bentaleb (ex Spurs), Angel Gomes (ex Man Utd youth), Remy Cabella (ex-Newcastle), Vito Mannone (ex-Arsenal), Ivan Caveleiro (ex- Wolves), Samuel Umtiti (ex-Barcelona), Jonathan David (he's a bit good...)

People (usually blosers and 12 year old fans on twitter from other clubs) like to shit on the Conference League and say it's not a proper trophy, but there's some good teams in there. This is a proper competition now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much tougher competition this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a proper competition now. I don't think there is a huge difference in quality between the conference and europa league, certainly for the group winners. As shown that ultimately only one side dropping down in the Europa league has reached the quarters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Lille is the team I least wanted but we should have enough to beat them if we play to our ability, I hope. Only 3 years since they beat PSG for the league title although as those things go most of that team is gone. Olympiacos- Fener will be interesting. Guess they'll do no away fans if they want to avoid massive riots and people getting murdered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Lille's form of late doesn't look that great, have only won three of the last eleven in the league, in that same spell also got knocked out of the Coupe De France by Lyon. As above, so far in the competition our better performances have come against the better teams, AZ Alkmaar and Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
