Lazio: Season Review

I will have expectations when the transfer window closes.

 

Nice run down of our season.

The trio of Biglia-Parolo and De Vrij in the middle of the pitch really kept things stable throughout the season. They allowed us to play more of a composed game rather than the erratic desperation we tended to play with in prior years.

FA took us to new heights, his form from December to April dragged us into CL position. Candreva was solid throughout the season perhaps the injury kept him fresh down the stretch, he was immense vs Napoli and Sampdoria.

As for expectations it depends who we draw in the CL. I think we can beat anyone except Man U. I don't know if our team could go to Old Trafford on a European night and get a result and they'll surely have reinforcements. Not sure who else we could play I assume Monaco, Leverkusen, Valencia, CSKA, Brugge, Fenerbahce, Ajax, Panathanaikos.

In order I'd rather not play Man U, Valencia, Leverkusen, Monaco. The rest are on he same level more or less.

 

Valencia would probably beat us. They are very good defensively and counter well. They are also extremely good at home. The draw is seeded. Lazio is not seeded so we will have to face a seeded team. I think Ajax would be the weakest seeded team.

 

Not sure exactly how it works but the seeded teams we could face are Man U, Valencia, Leverkusen, Shakthar, or Ajax. Not sure if we can play any of the other teams that need to qualify from earlier rounds?

Tough draw I guess we hope for Ajax. Would have been nice if M'Gladbach got 4th instead of BL, I remember us handling them easily in the EL a few years back.
