Really? Haven’t gotten many under Ole.
A bit of a boring group really, but no excuses not to qualify.
Atalanta play like Leeds. They are incredibly attacking so that should suit us fine.
Villarreal on the other hand are our ultimate bogey team. Not beaten them once in 5 meetings. They make games so dull.
Young Boys should be the (Young) whipping boys you'd imagine.
Even though we should be favourites to win it, it’s a tricky group.

Boring in a group stage is fine. We’ll get the glamour ties if we deserve them.
Villarreal are only in it because we let them win the Europa Cup, and now we have to face them again, twice.
We’ve been in the knock out stages twice since SAF left. That simply isn’t good enough.
Unless we’re doing great in the league going out in the group should be considered a sackable offence imo.
Maybe not as easy as predicted?
Imo we should go through but Atlanta and Vil could be awkward games, hope not but stranger things have happened
Feels like Atalanta will make the same mistake Leeds did and play to our strength.
Villareal, just make sure we don't rack up injuries there.
Young Boys. Trip up game.
Can't complain with that, not much travelling and should be good enough to get through while also having a couple good games to play.

Yeah, if the Atalanta coach had any sense he’d change the set up because they are tailor made for our game. Could be an excellent couple of games. Villarreal know how to frustrate us and aren’t a bad side at all. Young boys should be cannon fodder.
Guaranteed 2 points and 2 draws with Villarreal
No excuses not to take 6 from YB
One win vs Atalanta and that should be that.
Looking at these groups tho may not make a difference if you come first or second unless you get 2nd in group G which will no doubt be reserved for Chelsea
Jeez how did we end up in a Europa League group?

We really don’t.
A tough group. Hopefully we can go through 2nd.
If people are comparing Atalanta to Leeds that will be 5-1 to United. Dream on Leeds. Once upon a time and hope is always commendable if often misguided. Yorkshire can play cricket. Not so good at football these days and only had one team in recent years.
And by the way, it's 4oz plain flour, 2 eggs and 1/2 pint milk and it goes with any roast, not just mad cows.

Aside from last time, and the juve/Valencia group before that. we haven’t had tough groups at all in post saf days. Pretty favourable draws otherwise.
Liverpool's group is the hardest to qualify from, City's is the hardest to win, Chelsea's is the easiest to qualify from but ours is probably the easiest to win. That's my take on it.
The Villarreal games will no doubt be brutal. They always set out to play like peak Nuno Wolves against us
Never been worried about group draws in Europe or domestic cup draws. To win you may have to beat the best. If you can't you don't deserve the trophy. Yes, the odd strange result comes up. Even the biggest teams have had one of those. The beauty of cup football. Champions league final - Accrington or Crewe v Real? Love to see that in the last years of my life. OK, this must be dementia setting in! But if teams like Chelsea can do it there is hope for Accrington Stanley.

And it’s effective. The likes of leeds would do well to adapt to that way of thinking.
You can finish third in this group & have another crack at the Euromick if you concentrate & take it seriously
