    Didn't get Olympiakos like I hoped, but I will try and make one of the away games at Leverkusen, Seville or Budapest.

    Betis have Tello, Fekir and Jose going forward. Christ, 40 year old Joaquin would do our defence.

    If we don't get at least another CB in, we are getting annihilated by that pace and skill.

    Great group, not without its challenge but close to being the best possible group we could ask for.

    Ange could get this team winning at home and I don't think it's wrong to target 9 points for the home games and then drawing with Ferencvaros away. So 10 points in total

    Had to be Ferencvaros. They look to be better than when we played them when I watched the Young Boys game.

    I'm still holding out finishing second here. We're more than capable of dropping into the conference though with finishing 3rd.

    Expecting Leverkusen to walk away with the group.

    Tough group at first, but I see positives for us as they won't sit deep, apart of Ferencvaros maybe, and Leverkusen have their weaknesses defensively. Betis I think as well. So could actually suit us. Could have been easier though.

    Fun groups,

    Leverkusen are a strong side that will be a good game, betis again a tough one but that's good and revenge against the Hungarians

    Dembélé to get a hattrick against the huns, sparta to pump them too and brondby to use the bridge and bring over the malmo fans to take the * out of the huns

    Leverkusen are a decent side and I expect them to win the group. Betis and Ferancvaros are both beatable.

    I would rate them higher than an AZ side who had most of their best talent sold before they faced us. AZ were good but Betis have Fekir, Canales, Carvalho, Bartra, Tello, Guardado and probably a few others I’ve missed

    - Into EL last 16

    If we come second:
    - Into EL last 32 vs CL 3rd placed team

    if we come third:
    - Into ECL last 32 vs 2nd placed team

    Betis are an aging team, * still play Joaquin at times and have players like Fekir, Montoya, Ruiz. Even Caneles and Guardado are older. We should have the energy and pace to beat them but I'm always apprehensive against sides from the bigger leagues. We were so close to getting Dinamo Zagreb until * Howard fae the halifax adverts pulled us out first instead of Gent
