CL Draw Thread

Didn't see that happening, i mean i cant remember the last time we drew one of the favourites and/or a team who ended up in the final...

I heard uefa are going to change the rules and be done with it so we can have all the top teams in our group each year!

Still its nice to see Man U having a tough group again...

Looking at those groups and who's likely to finish 1st and 2nd, it's going to be very important to top the group.

 

What a **** draw, just playing two teams we have faced so many times over the past few years, boring as ****.

 

Imagine how they feel

 

I swear we've played like 7 different teams total in the past couple of CLs.

 

Well you usually play 8 games a year maximum so your probably right

 

Tell me about it. Its like Bayern is our current wife and Barca is our ex....

 

And Dortmund is our mistress

 

What about ****ing Olympiacos? We play those ****ers every other year and we always play the away tie in our final group game and no doubt we will send out our second team there and lose.

 

Its actually happened 3 times too

 

We barely seem to ever get a Dutch team, or even PSG, would be nice to play in Paris, or Holland.

Its even set up for us to play them away on the last game when qualification has been clinched FFS

 

Playing Munich back-back can make this group stage very tricky, because let's say we don't do so good in those 2 games, it makes our last 2 games, including the away game to Olympiakos, very very important.

Basically, we need 6 points from our first 2 games. If we can get 7 from our first 3, then we can say we have one foot through the door into the next stage.

 

We should be beating Zagreb away, their essentially like a UCL playoff team, think we even beat them once in a UCL qualifier, and Olympiakos at home, well the same we should be beating them at home, as we usually do.

 

I dont think you need to worry about getting through to the knockouts. What you really need to do this time is top the group. It's a good point about those back to back games against Bayern. There is a plus point - if you come away with 4 pts from those, you'll have gone a long way achieve top spot.
