Ruben has been involved in everything. All the more reason he has to be involved from the off. I get they're dead in the water but where has this football been all year?
Good win. Now to focus on EPL and Everton. Hope RLC gets the start over Barkley but I suspect Barkley will hold onto the starting role for a few more games.
It's amazing what a difference it makes when the midfielders are looking to get forward. The passing was much slicker without you know who. RLC was man of the match for me and another goal and assist for CHO. A great night's entertainment. More of the same please.
I doubt he gets the start but he will take the starting role. He took it once before the injury and will take it again.
It's a good draw for sure. They aren't pushovers though. Probably the best foe we could have asked for IMO.
Not just them tho. The next round is set too. QUARTERFINAL DRAW Arsenal vs. Napoli Villarreal vs. Valencia Benfica vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Slavia Prague vs. Chelsea SEMIFINAL DRAW Napoli or Arsenal vs. Villarreal or Valencia Benfica or Frankfurt vs. Slavia Prague or Chelsea If we win we face Benfica or Frankfurt. I’d prefer that over all four options in the other bracket.
Villareal were my preferred choice. Jovic scares me and German sides are tough. Benfica are aways tough. I don't think it's easier at all outside of not having Napoli or Arse.
Villarreal won’t get past Valencia tho and Prague were the best match up in this first round. Valencia is better than either Frankfurt or Benfica. I think we have just about the best possible way to the finals that we could get. Agreed not seeing Napoli or Arse until the final is clutch.
