Europa league 16-17

[Bus-Conductor]

Just watching the Lyon v Roma game, the last Spurs player left in European competition (Fazio) just scored.

Lyon's manager Genesio is such a plum.

Decent goal, great cross. Lyon might play well going forward, but very suspect at the back. I reckon Roma might score a few more.

Also Gent losing their home leg 4-1 at HT to Genk. How did we not get an away goal against this lot...

Just seen the Gent score and couldn't stop laughing. Football is such a bizarre game at times.

Oh dear

Can't believe we got knocked out of Europe by Gent. They are currently losing 1-4 at home against Genk!

Genk ffs!!

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Lovely bit of interplay between Lacazette and Tolisso, a great example of Lacazette being more than just a one dimensional striker.

 

[DIEHARD]

Fucking Genk Fuckety fuck fuck

 

[tobi]

Some lovely goals between Lyon and Roma.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

And there's my boy, boom.

 

[rossdapep]

Lacazette has been superb. Too bad we don't stand a chance of getting someone like him.

 

[tobi]

Thunderbastard from Lacazette.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Ooh la la Lacazette...

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Honestly, this Lyon team would (and should) be challenging for the French title if they had a better coach.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Entertaining game that. Some slightly dubious defending and some tactical ineptitude but entertaining none the less with some good football and great goals.

Why the fuck Genesio starts one of Europe's best 8's as a 10, plays 4231 and leaves a great 10 on the bench is anyone's guess.

 

[nightgoat]

As if getting knocked out by Gent wasn't annoying enough, as if them drawing one of the weakest teams left in the draw wasn't even more annoying enough they then go and get absolutely spanked at home.

Fuckers.

 

[spursfan77]

We really fucked this competition up. Looking at that quarter final draw, the competition is there for the taking. Man Utd will win it easily.

All kicking off in the Lyon game

Some lovely fans them Turkish sides have. About time they started receiving bans from Europe.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Should be an instant 1 or 2 year ban for Besiktas, but it will be a slap on the wrist and a little fine instead.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

If United win the Europa league, which looks likely...

Surely they've had a much better season than us with two pieces of silverware.

Annoying when you think about it given how shit they've been in the league.

Guess you could also argue the clubs have differing expectations.
