TomC Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Overall, I'd say that our fixtures are middle-of-the-road. There's no such thing as an easy draw from pot 1, but Leipzig makes it as easy as could be hoped for. Pot 2 is mixed...Juve harder than average, Brugge easier than average. Pot 3 is where we really lucked out. Pot 4 is where we probably got a worse-than-average draw. So on the whole, average, maybe slightly easier than average especially given which matches are at home. Having said all that, I doubt that any of the 8 teams that we drew are happy to have us as one of THEIR pot 4 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Want to see a tough fixture list? Look at poor Red Star Belgrade... Barca, Inter, Benfica, Milan, PSV, Young Boys, Stuttgart, Monaco. Ouch. Edit: I bet that Nedeljkovic is happy that he got out when he did! Edited August 29 by TomC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Looking at the other draws, City got it easy, Liverpool got it ok, Arsenal’s looks tricky and ours looks ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Question is do we have 2 players in each position of similar standard? I'm not sure we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a great city, easy to get to and winnable, it's not the big name but in the context of who else we got I still think it's a good game Get yourself in the velotel Nothing wrong with the city. But out of all the teams we could have got in that pot they’re the worst except maybe Donetsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Think it’s a good draw, some big names and some winnable games. Now just to see what ticketing is like. I clicked the box to add on the ST renewal so should be getting them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Great draw in a couple of ways. Big teams coming to Villa and favourable away games where we’ll have good chance . Only downside is no glamorous away grounds to visit but I’m happy with draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
