Europa League '16/'17
-
@SIRclitjeslikker_NL I think that Ajax wouldn't beat Legia in round of 16 as year ago. They drawed with great Real 3-3 after fantastic match (they could even won), next was 8-4 with BVB - crazy match and the most important win with Sporting. Ajax isn't the same team as year ago when Milik was the best scorer. I believe that Legia hasn't said last word in Europa League
I'm also happy with draw for Manchester. They'll play with Saint-Etienne, with is average team and it'll be easy win for United, I guess. United is one of favourites to won UEL this year. I believe that they meke it happen
-
@ToomAnyWays I agree with you that we really should not underestimate Legia.
They had a lot of scoring opportunities in Amsterdam and we were lucky to play in an empty stadium in Warszaw.But please believe me, I did not miss Milik for a day yet. He is has a brilliant left foot, but he did not really fit within ajax' playstyle. An Ajax striker must contribute actively to positional playmaking (or whatever you call that in English). I would prefer Kasper Dolberg over him any day.
-
@ToomAnyWays Lol Ajax isn't the same team indeed, Ajax is way better now, because Dolberg has more class than Milik en we've got a new star player in Ziyech. But I believe Ziyech won't play against Legia, because he'll be on the Africa Cup by then, so that's Legia's luck.
-
@Suiz-Luárez_NL They have a lot of young players. I don't is it good for the team.
-
@ToomAnyWays We have 3 players in the starting eleven who are above 23, so enough experience to guide the young players.
-
Results against bigger and better teams don't say anything. A couple of years ago we won against Manchester City and gave Dortmund a real run for their money, only to throw away a 2-0 win against Steaua and the subsequent knock out following that

@ToomAnyWays
Knowing their crazy hooligans I have to agree with you: Legia hasn't said the last word in Europa League -
@tve-nl I don't agree with that. Legia's hooligans are idiots and doesn't have nothing to do with team supporters. They harm to the club finances and club image in the world. I'm not a fan of Legia but I support every Polish club that plays in CL or UEL. You should judge the team by their result not by hooligans behaviour
-
@ToomAnyWays
Your attitute is the biggest reason hooliganism stays such a strong force.Clubs and supporters saying 'these aren't the real supporters' and 'this has nothing to do with the club'. But it ARE the clubs that could and should be dealing with those groups: identify them, punish them and deny them access to the stadium. But clubs are just afraid to do so.

@MenagerBL said in Europa League '16/'17:
My favourite is Shakhtar Donetsk...I hope they can win it. I like them and Donetsk not only becasue footbal, but also because politics, history and other stuff but that's not important right now...
Yes Man Utd played bad in first matches but it's obviously Mourinho realised it will be almost impossible to qualify for the CL next year via the PL so he will try to win the EL.
In 1st match away vs strong Feyenoord Man Utd played with a crap squad, and in the last match vs Zorya Ibrahimovic and other are playing 90 min. wtf?I also like Zenit.
In this league I like Shakhtar but I don't like Zenit
-
@ToomAnyWays Legia forward!
-
Man United will win the Europa League
-
@I-Love-Niken Yeah, maybe if they spend another few hundreds of millions.
-
@SIRclitjeslikker_NL haha yeah maybe, but probably United just need so much of luck
-
@I-Love-Niken I always though Premier League clubs do not really care about the EL?
-
@SIRclitjeslikker_NL yess you right, one reason is time. at EL we must play on Thursday night & in the League we often played on Saturday
-
@I-Love-Niken If United will be in good shape as they are now maybe we will win UEL
-
@I-Love-Niken yeah that sucks, at least the Dutch football association always lets us play on sunday after an EL match
Of course United has enough quality to compete for this cup, but without the right motivation they will not beat teams like Roma, Villarreal, Zenit, Bilbao or Shjaktar.
I would be really proud if Ajax survives two rounds and finds itself among such names in the quarterfinales.
-
@SIRclitjeslikker_NL That's what all the fans are waiting for.. such a long time ago.
