How good are Besiktas KaaN10?

A fair bit worse than the Fenerbahce side you beat 3-0 and 2-0 last year. And the crowd advantage is pretty much halved as they're playing at a stadium that doesn't have a great atmosphere while their own stadium is being renovated.

Don't think you'll have any problems.

Besides Ba who are there best players? I know an ex Arsenal youth footballer plays for them.

Other than Demba Ba I don't think they have any well known foreign players.

I'd say their next best players are Kerim Frei, Pektemek and Sahan. They also have a pretty good manager in Slavan Bilic.

Besiktas played well for 60 minutes but were pretty much cooked after that. Good result for Arsenal and they should win comfortably at the Emirates.
 
Very lackluster performance from us, bumpy pitch didn't help should be a different story on the carpet at the emirates. Ox unlucky denied by a great save at the death.
 
People actually care about the Europa !?!

Spurs fans do this week, and Everton in a little while.

With Champions League on offer for the winners I think there's a bit more interest this year.
