Not sure where the hard done by narrative has come from.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
by being liverpool fans of course.

and i'm sure i should bother to look up the precise mechanisms of seeding teams, but i doubt it would help me to fully understand how zenit end up in pot one.

Fackin hit send.

It’s nothing about being hard done by, city always just seem to have easy draws in cup comps. Nothing to do with us. They just do, it’s become quite funny

I want Barca, Atalanta and mochengladbach as i think they’d be some cracking games.

i was about to agree with you on the domestic draws, question that on the CL draws, and top it all off with a joke about how this proves that UEFA hate them.

but actually, looking at their CL draws over the past 2-3 years, they do have an uncanny knack of getting consistently favourable group and knockout draws against lesser teams (though those lesser teams - lyon, spurs - are also the ones knocking them out).

Seem to recall an article last year that roundly disproved that theory.

Although I did have that perception before checking it out!

Pot 1 is for the champions of the domestic leagues and Sevilla winning the Ropey league.

Zenit won the Russian league = Pot 1!

I mean I could well be wrong, it just seems they always get it really easy

thanks...i suppose that now that the CL is open to 3-4 teams from some countries, that is one way to reward actual league champions..lucky old zenit (and poor old atalanta)

United can have:

- Porto, so Bruno and Lindelof can enjoying beating them twice
- Leipzig, for Upamecano’s homecoming/ punishment for not joining us
- Midgetland, to show LVG how it’s done

Fack going to Russia.

Want 3 tough teams. As we ain’t winning the CL so we might as well have some fun teams to play against rather than the boring types we usually come up against in the Europa.

posted on 1/10/20

Last seasons Europa group..

AZ Alkmaar
Partisan Belgrade
Astana

Yeah, please can we have Bayern, Inter and Marseille.

pot 3 is the pot to look at not pot 2.

in the end the "seeded" teams need to get 1st or 2nd and go form there


you don't want a group of death

Pot three: RB Leipzig, Internazionale, Lazio, Atalanta.

Pot four: Borussia Mönchengladbach, Rennes

Pot 4 shoudn't be a big worry to anyone. Its reall about avoiding inter and leipzig for me.

Get Barca or Atletico in groups than play them in knockouts is my preference. We have shown previously that you can qualify while being in cruise control.

Hope we get one of the big guns and 2 poorer sides.

Real, Salzburg and Midtjylland would be the dream.

Some tough looking sides in pot 3 & 4 though.

Worse teams than our current side have won the CL.

It’s unlikely but far from impossible.

Liverpool's best case scenario imo.

Shakhtar, Krasnodar, Ferencvarosi.

Worst case would be:

Atletico, Inter, Monchengladbach.

One of the groups will definitely be the former but have Porto in it.

City most likely will get that easy group with Zenit and Kiev instead of Shaktar

true, but that only gets you to QF.

I don't care who we get out of pot 2, its all about pot 3 for me.

I would however REALLY like with the fixtures we have to avoid long flights to odd places that take no care of corona. We will be really exposed
