Looks pretty tough to me.
you think? its one of the harder ones imo. lille and wolfsberg fighting for champions leagues spots most years in their respective leagues.
st entienne wont be an easy place to go for inter.
Nice little trips to France and Germany to look forward to, and only one really long trip to Krasnodar
As a matter of fact given the dangerous situation in Russia, wonder if the Krasnador match will be moved
i know top 4 is aim but everton have a team capable of winning a europeon trophy and guaranteeing CL to boot.
agreed,cannot be called a good draw.
Cant see Everton being anywhere near winning it
perhaps not if they treat it like alot of english teams have in past but if they play strong teams they have a chance alright.
looking at group those that look strong from get go are
everton
Villareal
Spurs
Besiktas
PSV Eindhoven,
Inter
Sevilla
Lille
Wolfsburg
Everton
Napoli
Fiorentina
i wouldnt say everton look out of place on that list myself.
May get out of the group, but seeing the quality teams in the competition I would say last 32 or 16 should be the minimum target
Anything else would be a bonus
If we're struggling in the league though I can see Bobby moving this competition down the priority list
true although i think chelsea are the only team to win it after dropping out of champions league out of the 5 winners so far.

At least we get the Krasnador away game out of the way early
In.fact I forgotten they were actually there till I.saw this,result this morning,
Sure,their fans will as well
Mind you Spurs should be used to it and well Lille is just across the channel..
The winners get into the Champions League I believe - but what happens if they qualified through their league position?
The fact that Everton have been given two spots in the competition should give them a huge advantage.
