Ostersund plz

They deserve to play a big team like us

[Cripps]

That's the team with the English manager iirc

Wouldn't mind them.

Next Arsenal manager tbh

We could face one of Napoli or Dortmund. I won't mind Dortmund but not Napoli please.

Ideally, Celtic.

I don't care who we get, if we're serious about winning you'll have to face the best at some point.

If we can't beat every team on that sheet then I'd rather we faced Napoli now, lose and get out than go to the semi's and get beat with our hopes up.

I say that because if we play our first team as and when needed we can beat every team listed.

That's the mentality Barca, Bayern, City and Madrid have in the CL, only one can win it yet every year they storm in the comp full of belief, we're selling ourselves short if we're going to be shy in the Europa.

If we're going to win we shouldn't be afraid to face any team at any time.

Rather annoyed Atletico are seeded and thus cant face them but Napoli aren't and we can face them

Atletico are finished these days and id take them. Napoli are damn good

Ideally, Celtic.

Us winning this will depend on which games Wenger decides to switch from using second team players to first team players. Lots of tricky teams in there that can cause an upset if underestimated

Atletico seems to be done as a top team like Dortmund.
From these 32 teams if they really try to win it Napoli is the team to beat.

if we get a small side like celtic, then he plays the big guns away and when we have a huge lead, play the kids.

Pretty sure Wenger will field AOL against sides like Napoli or Dortmund.

It depends on the draw.

It’s the games against the likes of Leipzig, Villarreal, lazio, and nice I’m more worried about tbh. I think if we face these teams Wenger will continue to put his faith in Welbeck, Giroud and company for these games and if that faith isn’t repaid then we’ll be looking at an unexpected exit out of the competition.

Finding the right balance between who plays in EL games and who plays in PL games is going to be vital from here on forward imo

Ask and you shall receive. They do finally get that big club draw however their journey ends here. Nice easy draw for us plus the "bigger" teams all seem to play each other. But next round, i'd love to see a Red Bull Salzburg vs Red Bull Leipzig.
