kobematabryant 400 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 How on earth are Basel our bogey side? We have played them 4 times and each of us have 2 wins. People are overreacting to Basel just because they defeated us twice last season but seem to forget that we beat them twice two seasons ago. And just like I mentioned earlier, it's laughable people think Leverkusen are the easiest team of the lot.Next Monday, at 11am UK time.Umm....because they were the first team to beat Mourinho's Chelsea at the bridge and beat us twice, without letting us have a single shot on target that game. In fact, Basel are a bogey side for English teams in general, we saw what they are capable of doing against English teams and they did it to Liverpool. Basel will try to make a name for themselves and history for the club, if they manage to get to the Quarter finals. They will be a very hungry club in the 2nd round. Not saying we can't beat Basel but we all know for a FACT that they are capable of beating us HOME & AWAY. I think if we are drawn with Basel and if we manage to get past them, it'll be a very hard sweat inducing game for the boys and will probably be harder than the Quarters draw.Plus, Leverkusen are the easiest team that is possible for us to get. All I have to say,MOYES 9-2 Leverkusen or should I say PSG 6-1 Leverkusen, the same PSG we beat next round. As I said about German Clubs before, bar Munich & maybe Dortmund, teams like Schalke & Leverkusen are Europa league fodder, that are allowed to compete in the UCL because of the success of Munich & a freak season by Dortmund.

Couldn't believe how insipid and negative we were that night - we had Ramires on the RW for goodness sake! Made Basel look like Barcelona.

I think if we are drawn with Basel and if we manage to get past them, it'll be a very hard sweat inducing game for the boys and will probably be harder than the Quarters draw.Yes, I know Basel are a bogey side for English teams and they have a good squad but think people are being overly paranoid and overestimating them. Of the English teams to have played them in recent years, we have the best record against them. Plus, Leverkusen are the easiest team that is possible for us to get. All I have to say,MOYES 9-2 Leverkusen or should I say PSG 6-1 Leverkusen, the same PSG we beat next round.

No offence but that's rather ignorant if you are just judging a team based on results. dUMB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Question. If spurs , pool or Everton win europa. Do 4th place team lose their spot? No. It just means England, in this case, will have 5 teams in the Champions League next season.http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2137611.htmlhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2329601/Europa-League-winners-given-Champions-League-place-UEFA.htmlhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2778224/Boost-Tottenham-Everton-UEFA-confirm-FIVE-Premier-League-clubs-feature-Champions-League.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobematabryant 400 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 OK, here is another question. What if, the final was between Roma vs Everton for example and Roma get top 2 in their league in the same season which is direct qualification for CL and if Roma win the EL, will Everton as runner ups be given the champions league spot?

Instead, it will benefit another team from another association/country based on the UEFA country coefficients.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_UEFA_Champions_League#Distribution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 JOSE:On Monday the draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League takes place, and he explained who he would like us to be paired with‘We don’t have much choice, there are only five possibilities, but to make it easy for everybody, I would say Paris Saint-Germain. It’s easy for us to travel, easy for the fans to travel and they won’t have to spend a lot of money to go there. They are a very good team and I would prefer a really good team, which will motivate the boys. So, if I could choose, even though I can’t, I would say Paris.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
