At least he would be in the correct thread.
Been a tough week for English teams in European football.

Bloody hell, the EPL got spanked again even after dwarfing the rest of Europe in spending.

Apart from Everton and Chelsea it was a pretty embarrassing couple of weeks for the EPL clubs in Europe.

Don't know that embarrassing is the right word. English sides don't have a divine right to win things, and you look at the sides they have come up against and theres no rubbish teams there.

To be honest I'm more disappointed about having to play 120 mins plus penalties ahead of the City game than I am about being knocked out of the comp. Still, while it reduces the fixture burden on our squad at a critical stage of the season it's a cup I feel we had a decent chance of winning.
I don't like that Lovren is copping so much grief from Liverpool supporters for missing that penalty. At least he had the stones to take it, Sterling & Moreno were still on the pitch. If you're going to point the finger at anyone then surely it has to be at our attack for failing to break Besiktas down. All were down on their usual standards.

Doesn't the manager decide the penalty takers and the order they go in? Very surprised Sterling didn't take one

So Liverpool rest a host of players and people are able to say 'I told you so' that they couldn't win? 
They didn't even lose comprehensively, they were just edged on penalties..

Just shows how difficult it is to win the comp. Injuries, rotation etc are all part of the challenge. English clubs tend to think they just have to turn up in the Europa as if its somehow beneath their capabilities. But in reality there are some top class sides in it, and you need to have a lot of things go your way to be successful.

I know. I want to bloody win it, we've had a poor last week or two but winning a trophy would redeem all of that.

Yep, they don't seem to take it too seriously. I loved winning it and are proud that Rafa and the club took it seriously and would rather win it over the domestic cups.
It's a bloody tough comp to win.
Oh Sam95 you mean?Where's that Yid Army bloke from the UCL thread yesterday?
In an inferior competition and still mess it up.

We did it fairly comfortably tho. I guess that's the difference in squads between us and teams like Liverpool/Tottenham etc.
