Let's hope your boys dont end up like another club that could deal with europa games aswell.

gl next season, changing the team's core and having to deal with playing twice a week is tough when you're not used to it
well thanks but i don't have any illusions about our international competitiveness next season. last time we had a great season (in 10/11 we even finished 5th!) we lost schürrle, holtby and fuchs and failed in europa league qualification against some random club from romania i think.
the only really promising international performance was back in 05/06, still under jürgen klopp's rule when we were eliminated by fc sevilla (with palop, dani alves, jesus navas, kanouté, saviola, luis fabiano... they won the cup that year iirc) after a brave performance...
for now i'm just happy we at least have the chance to play internationally again. we have some promising young players and it'll be a good and valuable experience for them no matter the outcome...
