Liverpool and City are in the elite bracket along with the Spanish boys, Juve and possibly those scummy Qatari backed Parisians. HTH.
"When we had the ball we struggled to play in the way we wanted to play. The team started to feel comfortable, then we scored. And afterwards we played with more confidence." MPOriginally Posted by Dejagah
In the first half I thought Spurs were just as "inept" as Brighton at creating and finishing chances against Dortmund, then three precise final balls into the box in the second half.

You're comparing the Champions League to Europa League.
As an Arsenal fan i'll be the first to tell you we're a joke of a team
With it being an FA Cup game tomorrow and Hughton’s policy on resting players for it , I’m guessing ARJ will be playing.
Derby are a decent team, they gained a few good players on loan this season including Harry Wilson who has scored some wonderful free kicks and also Mason Mount who picked up his first international cup for England and is on loan from Chelsea.
Frank Lampard is their manager and he’s got them playing some good football and they have had some big results in the cups this year, including knocking out Man Utd on penalties in the League Cup.
They also have England legend David Nugent up front 😀
Europa league AND champions league are the only "objective" means to measure a league strength. It is not perfect of course but it gives an idea.
Also Chelsea struggled big time against Malmo
That is the logic that UEFA use when deciding on how many places each league gets for their club competitions and at what point they enter.
At the moment according to UEFA The order the leagues go in based on the last five years of performances in club completions is
Spain
England
Italy
Germany
France

It is easier to have more points when from the start you have more clubs qualified for these competitions.
Which is true and why they look at competitions over more years and there has been more success from English teams. Liverpool have reached two finals in the past five years and Man Utd won the Europa League.
In the past 15 years only Marseille and Monaco have reached a final of a European competition and that was twice in the Europa League/UEFA Cup compared to 14 times for English clubs.
5 times for Italian clubs is all as well.
I agree that Juventus is a strong team but the Italian teams have struggled in Europe lately.
