This is going to be a tough two legs against strong opposition, and I really hope we put out strong teams otherwise there's no chance we'll get through.
I really don't get people mocking the EL, as if it's beneath us. Maybe it was when Fergie's reign of dominance was in full flow. But at the moment, it's our level - we've no chance of winning the CL. When we're in the EL, we compete better, getting to the later stages, but still with absolutely no guarantee of winning it (same with the FA Cup and League Cup at the moment).
We need to start winning trophies with this group of players, and with Ole as manager. It's clearly going to be City's title again, and so we really should be trying to win the EL or the FA Cup this season. Once we're capable of winning those types of trophies, then we can start realistically thinking of future league / CL success.
