We should call Scotland by its correct name, Very Northern England.

Turkey wishes to be called Türkiye. They're tired of being likened to a fat, tasty bird.
In future I might substitute Turkey for Nigella Lawson in that case.

Erdoğan wishes for people using languages other than Turkish to call it Türkiye. Erdoğan is in charge of way too many things already. He can fuck off.
You are a dead man walking. I suggest you offer a ritual sacrifice of 100 mountain goats in Taksim square on Friday and seek forgiveness from Erdogod.

Why do we need to mention it at all?

Well we should but poor result really when we should now be in the top 4 and planning on resting our players for game 7-8.

We won't win this, we're not resilient enough away from home. Throw in too many bad performances.

Hibs - very good
Legia - poor to middling
Alkmaar - excellent
Mostar - middling
Ajax - just boring
Lille - played poorly but got away with it
Olympiakos - knackered
Young Boys - excellent
Bruges 1 - awful
Leipzig - good
Monaco - poor to middling
Bruges 2 - excellent
PSG - middling to poor
Feyenoord - good
Go Ahead Eagles - poor

We do seem very Villa-y away from home, lack of resilience has cropped up a few times in the above.

Winning away in Europe is hard. Before Emery in the main stage of the UEFA Cup we beat Slavia Prague and I think the next one before thay was Celta Vigo.

The other thing I'd say is that Emery has been prioritising Sunday.

We're 10th in the table, with 8 auto-qualifying, so it's all in our hands still. No need to panic, throw the towel in etc.

Is there any subsequent differentiation between where you finish 1-8 ir seeding or is just a case if making sure you’re in the top 8 and that’s it.

We should be going all out for top two, which would mean home second legs in all the knockout rounds.
