The next big thing is thrown around far too much.
I haven't seen him play, so can't really judge, but he's done it in the Croatian league? The step up to one of the big 5 leagues will be the real test.

Not an easy draw but im confident over 2 games we will get past these, then we are in the Semi Finals
Don't think my heart could take us playing against an English team in this competition this late on

Bigging up the opposition so if we win (as we should do reasonably comfortably over 2 legs), then Mourinho masterclass., and if we somehow get knocked out, it is because good team, and to be expected based on their players.
Got your game.
Yes they got through group conceding 1 goal, but when you consider the other team that comfortably got out of that group were Wolsberger AC, who they beat 3-0 and 1-0 I don't think that is too much to shout about. They are conceding as many goals per game in their own domestic league as we are in the Premier League.

Got ahead of yourself.
Beat these we are in Quarters
If everything goes well and we do qualify, we will be in the Quarter-finals.
I´m not saying the guy who wrote it is a professional (and imparcial) scout, I asked one of their fans if there´s any truth in it.
"Got your game"...
Calm down, mate. I know their team probably as much as you do, I´m just trying to find more informations. And from the informations I´m getting so far, they won´t be an easy team to beat - even though it´s our obligation to do it.
COYS
Remember when we were all happy about drawing RBL in the Champions League too?
None of the draws at this point are easy, but we should win if we take it seriously.
So who do you support between Zagreb and Spurs?
Simply because they are one of the weaker teams left in the competition.
But don't just take my word for it....
Europa League 2021: Power Ranking Every Team in the Round of 16
The upsets that occurred in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 set the stage for an intriguing next step to the competition's finish line...

Ranked 15th of the remaining 16 teams, only Molde behind them.
I haven't under estimated them either.
I assume you are a Croatian, but try not to get overly defensive it wasn't an attack just a statement of fact.
I think we should be very disappointed if we fail to qualify - but no one should be expecting absolute dominance over two legs and a high scoring aggregate score.
The difference between a good draw in the CL knockout stages and EL knockout stages is massive.
I don't think we should send out our U-21's but our B team is better than their A team.
They just played Krasnodar and the games were 3-2 and 1-0 that is far from impressive. As mentioned in the group stage they beat Wolfsberger 3-0 and 1-0, I think our U-21's likely could beat Wolfsberger 1-0.
It isn't a guaranteed walkover, but about as close as it comes at this stage. It is a draw that we should be able to win without playing Son, Kane, Ndombele, PEH, Reguilon if we want to rest them.
I don't understand all the people getting mortally offended at suggestions that Dynamo Zagreb might be an easier draw.
If we had drawn Man Utd or Roma for example we would be saying its a tough draw, It's no different stating we drew one of the weaker teams.
Stating that doesn't mean that anybody thinks its going to be a walk over or that we are already in the next round or that we are somehow disrespecting Croatian football.
Jesus people get a grip.

I cannot agree more about this statement. Gvardiol is talented, but in fact I would say the only big thing is between his legs for now. He will need a lot of training and practice with some big boys to be a great or even good player.
Gary or Lamela could do wonders against him.
The way we’ve been playing they probably think they got the easier draw lol
The best 11 that couldn’t beat Fulham and Brighton nahh you’re alright, reward the EL team with an EL run out
Stick Lloris in and it’s goodbye
Neither have we though.
Will definitely not be easy. But if we take it seriously it should be enough while having 2-3 players rested from the first team. They won their group where WAC was second beating them 1:0 and 3:0 in their games. Hard to judge as they did not have any great teams in the EL yet this season (Feyenoord, ZSKA, WAC and Krasnodar)
People being all "lmao we will stomp some farmers" for this draw may end up regretting it. How many times have we stumbled against "farmers" over the years? Far too many if you ask me.
At this point in a tournament there are no do-overs. Take the opponent seriously (this mainly goes out to the players, but some fans could learn this lesson as well). They have the best defensive record in the tournament for a reason.

Petkovic is true. Late bloomer, starting striker for Croatia at the moment.
Livakovic is a top GK, one of the best in EL, first choice for Croatia.
Gvardiol that is true, although they play him at LB primarily as he is technically very good.
Majer is no Modric, skinny, blond and Croatian, but here is where it stops.
Ademi - true, he is there as a loyalty thing. Dinamo basically saved his career and enabled his livelihood while under suspension.
Orsic is good and found his place in this Dinamo team. Very dangerous on the counter.
CB - Teophile Catherine played for Cardiff in PL, Rennes and St. Ettienne and far from washed up as he is only 31. The other guy is Danish international Lauritsen.
