We are a seeded team and will face
Unseeded teams
I would want Debrecen(since I been reading about arthur rowe) or Hajduk split(bring a back a gem)

Don't want a Cypriot team since I think they could cause a problem

They knocked out my local team (Cliftonvile FC) in the previous round, would be nice to get some payback :sneaky:

Hopefully we'll have the home leg second with Liverpool in the league the weekend after.

Even if we are home first, strong team in the first leg to kill off the tie, then send the kids away. Might even work out better.

A little arrogant perhaps but if any of the teams pose a threat at this stage we would be in serious trouble.

We'd beat any of those teams with consummate ease.

If we get a Ukrainian side though then I'd imagine that we wouldn't actually have to play them in Ukraine? Not anywhere near the trouble anyway.

It is impossible for Spurs to draw an Ukranian team for this round.

Spurs can only face the following:
FC Spartak Trnava (SVK)
Asteras Tripolis FC (GRE)
FC Dinamo Minsk (BLR)
AEL Limassol FC (CYP)
HNK Hajduk Split (CRO)

Split is ranked the best and Trnava the wakest according to Fifa.

Part of me feels the ideal scenario would be to just use the kids regardless. A lot of people (including myself) felt that we were stretched last year and could do without the distraction whilst building a team. Fergie and Wenger did it in the early rounds.

We should obliterate them. Usually, I would make a point about how we should be wary because they beat Zenit but Zenit are obviously managed by AVB, so I'm not surprised.

I suppose that's a decent draw. Better than getting Astana or one of the Russian/Ukranian teams.

Yeah play the reserves mixed with kids away and put out a decent side at home

Because we were seeded we automatically get the home game in the second leg

Will be happy if the team we get don't play their home games near the Chinese border.

We got AEL Limassol FC (CYP) in the draw and play the first leg August 21st away and second leg on August 28th at home. Could be a lot worse IMO.

Both legs during school holidays, so may have to look at taking kids to the 2nd leg if we do the £40 family ticket as per usual.
