This season's knockout round could be fierce because several teams that did not qualify for the Champions League are already in the European League in this round, so it is quite possible that the match could be quite fierce and tough. In the middle of next month, Roma must be able to beat Feyenoord at de Kuip if Roma wants to easily qualify for the next round after finishing this knockout round. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Leverkusen may both run more differently than AS Roma.
AC Milan is the only team who got knocked out of the champions league who is now in the europa that could pose a threat to other big names who were already in the Europa before their arrival, the fierceness of the knock out stage of the Europa lays amongst a few team and not most of the team and it could be seen amongst Liverpool, AC Milan, Leverkusen and Roma.
This is my personal opinion about the knock out stage of the Europa currently because all other teams were just around average and a few below average Roma may actually get pass the knock out round but then they don't look to me like they will make it to the finals although I know Mourinho is doing a great job with Roma but their case of injury has also been a set back for them but then if all injured players are back definitely they will be able to do much applying consistency alongside.
