2016/17 Europa League

[mustafur]

Olympiacos vs Besiktas will have Riots.

Best game is Lyon vs Roma imo, Lyon are in epic form.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Away to Rostov, interesting...

 

[Akmuq]

their Wembley hoodoo continues, don't they play there permanently next season as their stadium is being built??

Don't remind me.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Last 16 starts tomorrow, United away to Rostov on a terrible pitch, Shaw and Rooney haven't traveled, Mkhitaryan might play, Zlatan will probably play now he has got his three game domestic ban.

 

[mustafur]

Great comeback by Lyon Winning 4-2 against Roma, first half was patchy after they got the first goal and went down 1-2 but drilled in 3 in the second half to give them a decent shot for the away leg.

They might not be going good domesticly but it seems like they are doing a decent job in Europe for a change to make up for it.

 

[MoLiEG]

Roma always disappoints me.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Good strong team named by Mourinho tonight, should be a comfortable night, Lets do it!

Make plans and man utd laughs. We don't do anything comfortable anymore. still on to the next round.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Jesus that was bad, I should've known better!

 

[mustafur]

Just imagine if Ajax draw Besiktas after all the tension with the two countries.

 

[Dennisch]

Just imagine if Ajax draw Besiktas after all the tension with the two countries.

Yeah. The UEFA is already looking at rigging the draw so that doesn't happen.

 

[Phoenix]

Well, Lyon beat Roma 5-4 after 2 matches.

And not really pleased with Uniteds poor performance against Rostov.

Teams up for the next round draw:

Ajax (NED)
Anderlecht (BEL)
Beşiktaş (TUR)
Celta Vigo (ESP)
Genk (BEL)
Lyon (FRA)
Manchester United (ENG)
Schalke (GER)

Will be drawn 13:00 CET on Friday 17th. Just after the CL matches.

 

[mustafur]

The French sides are very dangerious in Attack in Europe this season.

 

[mustafur]

United completely lucked out on that draw.

 

[Phoenix]

Not the worst draw by any means.

Still Anderlecht isn't a team in which we should expect a walkover. Specially with the current poor form that United shows.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Quarter finals on tonight at 8.05pm GMT.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Ross (David) Henrikh scored.

 

[Dennisch]

Ajax is playing Schalke silly at the moment. 2-0 so far but loads of missed chances.

Edit. Apparently there are riots at the Lyon - Besiktas game. The pitch has been flooded by people fleeing the stands.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Lyon-Besiktas kicked off 45 minutes late, Lyon won 2-1.

United were on course for a away win but a eqauliser just a few minutes from time meant it was 1-1, we still have a slight advantage of course but its frustrating as we dominated much of the match but once again we couldn't put our chances away.

 

[m8h3r]

We should have all but killed that tie off, but that's just not the post Ferguson way.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Big night at Old Trafford tonight, been good in Europe at home this season, i expect that to continue...

 

[Dennisch]

Man. I'm no fan of Ajax but I really hope they'll go to the next round. Dutch football really needs a bit of success.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

We beat the best team in the country on Sunday and now we cant finish off Anderlecht, so wasteful once again, extra time

 

[Dennisch]

FINALLY!!!!

2-0 behind in regular time making it 2-2 overall. 3-0 behind in overtime and a 3-2 finish. 3-4 overall.

**** YEAH.

edit.

Almost forgot to mention that Ajax played with a man down from the 80th minute.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

United got through eventually via a great goal by Rashford at the start of second half extra time, made it hard for ourselves again though.

 

[Dennisch]

Ajax v Lyon and Celta v Manchester.

 

[Liquid]

It would actually be a big boost if Ajax were able to win it.

Manchester United might still be considered favourites though.

 

[C-ZETA]

Celta is fine. They're midtable in La Liga which is literally not scary.

I would have backed us to beat Lyon over two legs more than at a neutral venue, though. If they get through, anyway. Ajax aren't on the same level.

 

[MoLiEG]

Ibra might have played his last game of the season his injury appears to be serious.

That's Manchester out!
