Wanderers To Face Guangzhou Evergrande in ACL Quarter Final

As mentioned in the other thread, we can deal with Evergrande       

We just need a team lol

I think it is good we are at home first as it will help our new boys being in front of of us first game before going on travels.

Warm up games / FFA Cup takes on added importance this year. New season already not far away 

To be the man you have to beat the man!

i would rather play the away game first tbh

**** me dead. 1/3 odds and we get the worst option. Still....

Melbourne showed they are beatable on our soil. We need to ******* TAKE IT TO THEM in that first leg. Really make sure we go into the second with a lead. Which is entirely possible. If we don't take a lead to china we're rooted. But if we take a lead there anything is possible...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sometimes it can help playing at home dirst when you're the underdog. A nervous first leg in China and it would be all over. On the other hand, a home win or even a low scoring draw puts the pressure on them in the second leg.

Keen to see their active support at wanderland.

Exactly, if the first leg finished 0-0 that would put pressure on them.

Of course the game is to avoid an away goal.

I think if the first game had been away with a newish team we could have been turned over.  I usually prefer 2nd legs at home also...but it is what it is and we can still do it.

Challenge accepted WOOOOOOOO

I am travelling Europe in August (get back on the 28th!!)- will have the ipad handy and can hopefully find a decent wifi spot and a good stream for the first game, but I am guessing I will be on the plane during the second game. If only I could reschedule and fly from Italy to China to watch!

Ouch!!!!!

Don't concede an away goal, that is all

job no 1 at work tomorrow - book leave for 20.8 & 21.8

I read somewhere that when we beat Guangzhou, we play either al ain or al ittihad?

No. The competition is split until the final.

It is?

I'm pretty sure I heard that Windsor guy say that the winner of say QF1 plays the winner of QF3?

Free tickets given to the Chinese embassy who then dish them out to make sure they get maximum attendance.

I'll bet money on it.

Freaking awesome so glad we got the champions. This is what it is about testing yourself against the best! Bring this on. only **** thing is 3 months wait FFS

To be the best, you must beat the best.

Now I must consider if I should do an away trip and visit some family...

The assignment will be that much harder if we don't bring in our new creative core in the next month. It's going be difficult enough getting the squad primed in the off season for the 1st leg Aug 20th, without having to integrate five new players, especially those replacing Ono, Hersi, Mooy, Polenz.  It took 6 weeks+ to integrate Spiranovic and bring him up to pace. Apologies for a pessimistic view, but I can't think of any team who have lost so many key players in one hit, instantly replaced them and maintained, never mind bettered, its previous level of success.

So if we progress we will play FC Seoul/Pohang Steelers away on 17 September and home on 1 October.

Wow talk about taking the hard road to glory but we might do it and if we can beat em we deserve to go all the way.

There away support should be big and we need to drown them out then the hard part will be trying to win away.

Unleashed the Trifiro

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

I wonder how much it will cost to print out 10,000 chant sheets ?

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

They won there 2nd round away game 5-1, jesus ****

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Don't worry Zip we're in the ACL till at least the 27th August. That's almost 3 months away!

This is so exciting!!

I see us making some signings in the coming month or two that will really make a difference

After the draw Lippi called ADP to ask him for advice...

Lippi: Hey Ale, what's your impression of playing vs the Vonderers?

ADP: Pa-Pa-Paranoia!!!
