Was it also the match Alex had a stormer and announced himself to world football before moving to Chelsea?

Correct! He scored the goal that knocked us out too.

I might be mistaken but I remember it being a back injury for Henry at the time and him looking like he was barely able to move.

That's actually not as easy as it looks. Bodo is a supremely well coached side although they lacked quality. Abit like Ostesunds when we drew them.

Zurich is the Swiss champions too. Basically we drew all the team that was supposed to be in the UCL but lost in the playoffs.

This is a weak group filled with canon fodder. You saw PSV struggle yesterday against Rangers. I would play Jesus in the first group game against PSV and rest him for the other 5. Same with Saka. Nketiah, Vieira, ESR and co will just need to show their cojones

October to early November, we've got Spurs, Liverpool and City at home in the league as well as match days 3-6 of the Europa. Then a few weeks to the World Cup break.

I've already been obsessing a bit over that month for a little while, but frankly I'd take 6+ points in those league matches over even getting out of the group in Europe. Not that it's zero sum.

Not bad fixtures.

We are in London (two away games v Brentford and Chelsea, rest at home) 5/6 post our Europa fixtures.

The only tricky time is when we are away to Bodo and then play away to Leeds on the weekend.

Mid October is just about the same time Roma got smashed in Bodo wasn't it. Not happy with having to play in the Arctic circle at all. Teams get water breaks in the summer hope they get hot cocoa or Glühwein breaks when they play Santa Clause in the winter.

Decent group otherwise, no walkover but nothing we shouldn't be topping. Have to use the entire squad for these games

How hard is it to get away to keys for Europa games. Might be tempted by the Zurich trip.

I'd prefer a win v TH and not lose at Home v LFC and MC.

Should be winning all three, but scratching points in those matches might well set up our season. The away ties will be difficult later on.
