When was the last time they had an even mildly difficult group?

Well we also had some uncomfortable groups in the past.

Yeah. We used to pick Madrid and Barcelona on a constant basis.

The likeliness of us drawing a very difficult group is almost non-existent since the majority of the teams in the other pots are bad. Maybe Everton and Nice could have been a bit challenging out of all the teams we could have faced |

I'd rather we not expand too much energy on the EL group stages so we can be able to really focus on the league. Inter and Roma look good so far, if we have drop offs we'll be out of the race for 4th |

Damn... Inter...
Smash and grab in the least few minutes. They really don't deserve to win this, Roma were so much better throughout the game |

It will happen step by step. Winning against AEK, Rijeka and Austria is as valuable at this moment as playing against United or Chelsea.

Yeah, the big fixtures will come later on. You can't pretend to have a stellar group in the Europa League.

You can't really expect us to jump from the mediocrity of last season and into the elites. EL is a good step for us to get our toes wet in Europe again. Not to mention that I don't think we're ready to be going all out in Europe and Serie A all at once (in terms of having difficult fixtures to contend with every 3 days) This is a good intro back into Europe, and for the KOs when we're hopefully kicking into gear in terms of form |

People seem to have slightly misinterpreted me. I said wins against 'decent teams' - Marseille, Nice, Everton and Koln would have qualified. I did say that.
I'm not quite asking for Real Madrid yet! |
