Champions League Draw

11.00 Today no ****s given as to who we get.

Liverpool: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Porto, Real Madrid

 

You're most likely to get Dortmund apparently, sure you'd be happy with that too?

Anyone but Juve I suppose.

 

We have a statistically equal change of getting anyone.

If you are telling me the CL draw is fixed fair enough.

 

No you don't, because teams can't draw teams from the same nation

 

The list above is who we can get. Porto would be the easier draw but who cares.

 

Real Madrid please... They are little flawed this season so it is better to meet them before they learn how to play again.

 

TBH bar porto who we easily trashed last year the opposition are all tough

Some more than others.

Slightly weaker group:
Bayern seem to be off the pace this year. They are rebuilding a bit.
Real madrid have been poor this year and changed manager but are still a threat to everyone

Weak:
Porto

Very strong:
dortmund at top in bundesliga
Barcelona. have stated they really want this trophy as real won it 3 times and messi got no world player of year trophy (not sure whats more important there)
Juve: consistently top of serie A. Have the guy who is afraid of arrest and extradition to US in thier ranks now too.

All in all I'm glad we are in top 16. I have no expectations of any further progress.

 

I want Real Madrid too. Not desperately or in hope of revenge etc, just my preference from the sides we could face.

 

i think we will get one of the spanish teams.

 

When was the last time you lot played Bayern? Reckon you might get them.

 

audi cup last season we won 3-0

 

I meant competitively

 

are you saying the audi cup isn't competitive

 

But the list in OP is the 6 teams we can draw. we've an equal chance of any of the 6.

 

so no warm balls then

 

And you're ignoring the fact that some teams will have a one in 5 or one in 7 which slightly affects the chances when combined

 

does have a sense of fixed feel about it with teams in it if can't draw team from same country.

i don't understand why you cant just get fecking anyone and be done with it ffs!!!

 

I actually prefer it like this tbh, I only tend to start watching the CL this stage and you don't really wanna see United/Spuds or Bayern/Dortmund at this stage.

 

Well maybe I am!

Really it depends on who comes out of the bowl first.

if you are left til end (like we were deliberately for fa cup 3rd round) then the options become rather limited.

 

To win the bloody thing, you needs to beat the best. Certainly, we cannot draw PDG or any English team. I do not care who we face next.
