I tried to post earlier but it didn't display that I had fingers crossed for Lyon V roma or Shalke -regardless of our draw. mind you I had Spurs down to win it a month ago.

Very well said. with 2 out of those 4 going out it can only make our job easier.

I don't know much about Rostov but I would assume we will have far to much for them.

with the first leg being away, i bet Josh is now happy that we have Chelsea on the monday and not on the sunday.

was Rostov one of the world cup venues that got a brand new stadium 45000-50,000 capacity? I could google but if anyone knows .

{Ed007's Note - No mate, Rostov's Olimp-2 stadium has a capacity of 15,840. Rostov came third in Group D of this year's CL finishing above PSV and behind Bayern Munich (who they beat in Russia) and Atletico Madrid.

Yes there is a new Stadium being built in Rostov for the world cup. It is on the southern bank of the river don and will be a 45,000 capacity stadium.

It was shown last week during the documentary on Russian football violence.

Rostov have lost 1 home match (0-1 v Atletico Madrid) in all competitions since May 2015. Beat Bayern Munich this season too. Tough draw.

They are 7th in russian league, if that is a tough draw then our standards have truly fallen.

easy draw for me, should be a 6-0 aggregate score.

Thats not going to happen beast, they are a decent defensive side. Most likely will be 0-0 away and 2/ 3-0 home.

I reckon Jose will park the bus in Russia with packed midfield, maybe have Rashford up front to catch them on the break, and Save Ibra for the Chelsea tie.

Or just field weakened team against Chelsea.

Very difficult draw and 5000 miles round-trip. So nothing good about it. We'll do well to get a draw there and hopefully win it by the odd goal at OT .
It will not be 6-0 Beast.

Here we go again with Beast saying if we don't win 6-0 it's poor, if you read above they beat Bayern Munich this season and have lost at home once since 2015, a draw over there would be a very good result and I imagine we will have too much at OT but I would be very surprised if any games at this stage are 6-0 on aggregate and very stupid to even suggest that's what we should expect, just setting it up to slag them off whatever happens.
