Was hoping for some early action, but I guess allows some hols, transfers and putting in place the masterplan. Equal parts frustrating that it's so far away but also that does mean it won't mess with our pre-season and fitness levels early in the season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Lille or Monaco too, very unlikely shout for Lyon) Bundesliga: Eintracht Frankfurt Unless they win the DfB Pokal final, then it will be 6th place Bayer Leverkusen Serie A: Juventus currently (as Inter won Coppa Italia) 7th place gets it. Could be Juve, Roma, Atalanta or AC Milan La Liga: Girona currently Could be Girona, Osasuna, Athletic Bilbao or (with a miracle) Sevilla One of Sevilla or Roma makes the CL if they win their final.

Delphinho123 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 We’re definitely going to be seeded for that playoff, right?? Because if we’re not, we may end up playing a very good team… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be trickier to qualify for the group stage but I think we’d still be favourites against most of the opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 This will necessitate a bigger squad. It'll be interesting to see how this all develops in terms of personnel. Would love to see Archer And Kesler make the team, and I think the early round games could be a great opportunity for them to contribute while getting invaluable experience competing in challenging environments. Also solid options for early round cup matches. I really want Archer to get a shot at being an absolute assassin for us, even if he's not the first choice. He's earned the chance and I hope Emery is taking a hard look at match tape. I'd assume he's up to snuff on Cam, but you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frodo Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 So let's get this right, we've qualified for the conference league, but we have to play in a play off game to get into the conference league group stages ? Or is the play off game to see if we are seeded in the group stages ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it like entering the FA Cup in the third round if the fourth round was a group stage. Actually don’t, that’s a terrible analogy.

But if they don’t and they finish 7th in the league, they will push us from seeded to unseeded due to a higher ranking. I think. I’m no expert, up until about an hour ago, I thought we were already in the group stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
