More about United than dressing others up. How serious will Erik take these games? have a feeling few first choice 11s will be selected especially in the first few rounds.
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Easy group tbh. Main goal is to qualify for next round at groups stage, even if we get 2nd place, so we can rotate players. We must take this competition seriously in case top4 is not a possibility later on the season.
Any competition is how you take it, Jose for example celebrated the conference league last season like he had won another Champions league.
I am complaining about the draw not being in the Europa League. It's a trophy and I hope we go for it.
I am just slightly annoyed with the traveling distance. It's Thursdays and it might cause extra fatigue to our players for the weekend premier League match.
Really need to win the group in this season's format, as 2nd place go into a play off round against Champions League drop outs, to decide 8 teams for the round of 16.
Group winners automatically go into the round of 16.
Because its shite.
A direct route to the Champions League next season - 4th is going to be even more competitive this year. Let's go for it.
Never heard of FC Onomatopeia
Pow! Now you have
I’m definitely betting big $ on us to win the EL this season.. our only real rival all the way up to the final will be Arsenal who are a couple injuries away from trouble tbf..
so what about winning the Cup Winners Cup, was that shite?
Its shite because I hate the fact we're playing 2nd rate teams. I want us to be in the CL, to play against the likes of Real, bayern, psg etc. We don't deserve to be there, I know that, I accept it, but I dont like it. Make of that what you will.
Sucks to be you. You must hate the Prem, League and FA Cup...unless we get top 6 opposition?
You must have been all for the European Super League?
Nope, just the europa league. Why are you so precious about it?
Looking forward to the EL actually.
Will see EtH use the full squad.
We have a good chance to win it too.

Well that doesn't make sense? There are just as many '2nd rate' teams in the domestic competitions as there are in the Europa League?
I'm not precious about it. Like I said, I love every competition we're in and never moan about any of them.
Yeah I don’t see them winning either.. if our blueprint is like the game against liverpool I see everyone caving in to our intensity and losing eventually.. I’d even expect Arsenal to do better than Barca..I'm very tempted to have a punt on Barcelona...
I dont like united being in the Europa league, whats so difficult to comprehend about that? Accept it and move on. Or ignore it, I dont really care.
I've come to quite like it. it took some getting over the thursday thing but now it's a nice late week chance to see us. It's great if we win it.. crap little competition if we don't ha ha
Yeah, I generally regard that opinion as having no importance and thankfully the people that matter share mine. So, we move. At least you will have your Thursdays and Sundays free so there is that to be thankful for.
Doubt it but you might have a chance to get in to Liverpools first eleven after Monday night though
I have always thought Sheriff is an Irish team
Cyprus is a fun place to go, for those who haven’t been.
Sociedad and Nicosia will be cracking away days.
I thought it was a nickname for Notts Forest.
Hope we win it.
Going to face a team from an ex-colony, then? Let's conquer Cyprus again. Let's make MBGA hats for the occasion.
Dodge City surely?
What's on Sunday?
Wouldn't fancy a Thursday night game in Cyprus but otherwise should be an easy group.
I’m going to spend the weekend there
I see what you did there
Yup, I can't understand people dismissing it. It's probably the best chance of CL, it's a fecking trophy when this club hasn't won one in 5 years, and it's a great experience for the younger players. I really want us to win this.
Air fares are very high especially for the first few match dates as it is holiday time.
I'd expect that to be brilliant but flying into a stadium full of rabid home fans on a Thursday night and back to Blighty for a Sunday game won't be the same kind of party.I’m going to spend the weekend there
Ya I’m looking at having to get 2 flights looking it … hopefully it won’t be September
I don't like it as a competition. I do like it as an opportunity to give young players a chance to break out. Hoping to see a lot of Zidane, Garnacho and co.
Have the set of fixtures been published yet?
