Why would you want us to be knocked out localny? Strange.

So we can concentrate on securing 4th I presume. Or so that it damages the owners enough financially that they have to sell up. Or that it means the final nail in Rafa's coffin. Hmmmm. Actually, when you think about it....

I suppose itd be nice to win it! I hope we dont get knocked out! So what if we have one more competition to play for! This squad was meant to be challenging on all fronts this season! If a little europa league run gets in the way of CL qualification spot for next year then Rafas no longer fit to be at the helm!

Of course I like winning trophies, but this is the all-time consolation competition - we didn't enter it, we got dumped into it for being shit.
 
We'll still have to beat some decent teams to win it, but it is incredibly difficult to get excited about it.

I'll only start to enjoy the trophy if we get to the later stages and fourth place is looking pretty secure. It's highly unlikely either will happen.

i still haven't accepted that we're in it. it's a complete embarrassment.

Yes, this is what I was thinking. Honestly don't want to win it...

Watching United today made me realize what a fecking different planet we're on this season..

Mind you, this same LFC squad has been excellent in Europe over the years, so one can't complain too much...
 
Okay, so it's a second-rate tournament and it's all a bit embarrassing, but what can we do... we're having a shit season and we are where we are. We might as well make the best of it and do as well as we can.

We don't look capable of winning anything at the moment anyways, but I'd be more than happy should it happen.

Would anyone really turn their nose up at a final against, say Valencia?
 
If we can see some of the kids until the going gets tough, and use it to build some momentum and confidence, then lets play. Let's face it, it is the only trophy we can get our hands on this season.

Masher and The Greek are killing are chances of the fair play trophy too.

Fair play to the lads. May it continue.

I guess not man, just hard to accept playing in a second rate competition! Roll another final a la Marcus Babel, Smicer, Biscan and Nicky Barmby
 
Maybe because its a nothing game Rafa will play Aquilani and Riera to see if they are match fit yet.
 
Now we're in it we should try to win it. Seems a bit arrogant to dismiss it, there are some decent teams playing.

A trophy and cash would remove some of the bitter disappointment this season has been thus far.

Apart from anything else, we need to go as far as we can in this competition to plug the financial gap left by our removal from the CL.
 
It's totally wrong to adopt that view. We should go to win every game and competition we play and I'd sooner take a Europa cup over say, the FA cup.
 
Ah I think it's demoralizing for our star players to be stuck in tournament - they got us there, but it's a constant reminder that they could be doing better elsewhere (even if they are to blame...)...
 
Alright, I'm on board with us winning the Europa league then since Juve, Athletico, Valencia, Villareal, Marseilles, Benfica, Roma and a few other good sides are in it.. 8)
 
I'm usually excited before any match but for some reason i aint tonight... but i so do want us to win this competiton..
