Round of 32 draw

In a round where there's all manner of restrictions on who we can and cannot play, I just want the easiest tie. Get to the last 16, and frankly, you're gonna have to be able to beat all of the other 15 if you want to win the cup, so I wouldn't care who we get at that stage. I just want us to get to the last 16 and not get shafted by someone like Roma.

You just know it'll be Roma.

I do. And if my some miracle we manage to beat them, at least we've eliminated arguably the strongest side early on and not have to face them in the final (plus it would be over 2 legs not 1, offering a slightly better chance of winning, seeing as we're pretty rubbish in crunch one-off matches).
 
Didn't see anything to fear in Roma's performance. Italian football is at a low ebb at the moment. Some great individuals but no great teams.
 
Just looked at the teams now in the competition liverpool, spurs, inter, roma, napoli, bilbao, ajax, sevilla, psv, zenit, celtic, besiktas, wolfsburg.
Some very very good teams left in and some big european names. Gowna be a very tough ask to win it but that is what you work all the previous season to do. /QUOTE]
Bigger, if not currently better, than most of the teams left in the CL.

If we do end up getting Roma or Ajax then you've just gotta be hoping their players are less than excited about dropping 'down' in to the Europa League as opposed to playing in the glamorous champions league?
 

There is no point in worrying about who we can and can't get in terms of quality of opposition. If we're going to go far in it we will inevitably come up against some very good sides.

I doubt any of the teams in the competition will enjoy coming to Goodison. Our league form at home has been poor, but on a Thursday night in the later rounds of this competition, it will be an intimidating place to visit.

yep, perhaps if they get to the semis they might get a bit more up for it, but the R32 should hopefully see them pretty downbeat.
 
I'm hoping our opposition will look something similar to: Ajax, Anderlecht, Roma, Celtic, PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal, Torino, Qarabag FK, Feyenoord, Sparta Prague, Guingamp and Aab Aalborg.

I'd fancy us against any of them, with Roma and Villarreal being the ones i'd be less confident about. Some belter away games there too!
 
You really cant say which team would be toughest opponent to us..or the easoest.
It actually doesnt matter who we get. We can win any of those and on the other hand any of those teams can sneeze us out.

But Im Confident and anxiously waiting to see who we'll get
Then we can start the proper speculation.

Bring it on!
Everton is coming at ya like a spider monkey

Can't believe that comment from Pabbers. Grim that mate, we are all Everton fans at the end of the day. Look at the numbers in Nurenburg, that was one of the best days of my life.

It was the police who were at fault in Lille, nothing to do with the amount of us there.
 
Roma are now the favourites at the majority of bookies, around 12s. We're 14/1 to 16/1 for reference, so not too far behind.
 
We'll have a pretty tough February


7 Feb Everton Liverpool
11 Feb Chelsea Everton
19 Feb Away leg Europa
21 Feb Everton Leicester Ci.
26 Feb Home Leg Europa
28 Feb Arsenal Everton

There is also a FA cup match on the 14th if we get through to the 5th round.
 
We'll get [Poor language removed] Roma or Villareal it's nailed on.

If we do get Villareal we better be out for blood. Collina to return for it.
