Bologna, Juv, Atalanta, inter and AC Milan, Roma, Lazio and Napoli... Serie A is a very tough league just now. I said to my mate when we played them that they could be in with a chance of winning.

BackOfTheNet Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 As always though with the Fiorentina games (and Istanbul and pretty much any OF game), it’s not that a better team beats us. It’s how they do it. Fiorentina are a quality side and have shown this, but against us they didn’t have to. They played against us like it was a pre-season training kick about. They didn’t have to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 They are a decent side and have a chance to win it but realistically who have they beaten? Hearts, Riga, Istanbul, Sivasspor and Lech Poznan! Hardly Europe's elite. They would get emptied as they regularly do in Serie A (11 wins in 29) if facing real opposition. They'll need to win the Conference League to even be in Europe next season. So let's calm down with the quality, elite side nonsense, as it's just that.

Stuart Jack Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Yassss!!! 💜💜💜💜 We're feeling confident and finally starting to click (10 wins and a draw in the last 11, including beating both Milan clubs recently). Still a chance of 2 trophies this season too! Thanks again to all the Jambo's on here (and one at work!) who welcomed me at the beginning of the season when we drew each other, at Tynie back in October and for the nice comments too.

However just because you have beaten a couple of good (far from great) Italian sides recently does not make you a "quality" side which is the point I was making. You are still mid table in Serie A and not going to qualify for Europe next season by that means. Which shows that you are an average outfit. As yet you've beaten nobody of note in Europe (rubbish sides in Hearts and Riga, a mediocre 5th placed Turkish side, a poor 12th placed Turkish side and a 3rd placed Polish side!), and frankly you should be one of the clear favourites to win the Conference League. Anyway, I mean no offence and am not trying to piss on your parade, I'm just pointing out that you've beaten jack shit in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view, they are not a "quality" side, they are a good side beating a load of shite, in the Conference League. I never "had a go at anyone" you 🤡 I merely made a post.

Luckies1874 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 One notable thing about the Conference League 1/4's: 7 of the 8 (only Gent didn't) came through the qualifying rounds which unless we pull our finger out we will end up in next season. Beating the likes of Hibs, Aberdeen, Ross County and St Mirren over the next 6 weeks to secure 3rd seems a lot more straightforward than trying to beat teams of that standard to get into the groups.

Stuart Jack Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Yes, sorry but never intended to rile up or antagonise fans and I don't understand either the in-fighting or subjective comments without foundation on here. As they say in football "you can only beat who's in front of you". Yes, it's the Conference, but we want the Europa at least and fans wish we return to the CL. We still have 3 opportunities for this - the league (finishing at least 7th - bearing in mind Juve still face sanctions) Cup and Conference. We have no 'right' to this but historically we feel it is achievable. After all, we're one of the few clubs who have contested all 3 European finals and have pedigree in the competitions). We have a great young manager and have slowly grown this season with a lot of potential. As a Fiorentina fan of over 30 years, we're just pleased we're back on the right track, with a good ownership, plans for a new stadium and about to open our new training centre. One step at a time... As I said, I came on here to be helpful and represent my great club and a city that I love and consider my second home with great friends.
