Champions League group draw

Great win last night. Still things to work on but got the job done over the two legs meaning all last seasons hard work has paid off.

Now, on to the serious stuff. Draw at 5pm. Who is your best/worst case scenario on who we could face this season?

Pot 1: Real Madrid, Bayern München, Juventus, Benfica, Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk, Monaco, Spartak Moskva

Pot 2: Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, Manchester City, Porto, Manchester United

Pot 3: Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur, Basel, Olympiacos, Anderlecht, Liverpool, Roma, Besiktas

Pot 4: Celtic, CSKA Moskva, Sporting CP, APOEL, Feyenoord, Maribor, Qarabag, RB Leipzig

Don't forget, Russian and Ukranian sides cannot be drawn together, so we cannot have Shakhtar and CSKA Moscow in our group!

Feyenord's defense is rubbish so hopefully we get them

Not easy. Arsenal and United always get easy ones. Arsenal again at home against Doncaster. United have Burton.

Eh?

We got City at home last season in the league cup and Chelsea away in the FA cup.

People seem to think we always get easy draws which is simply not true.

I have a feeling we'll get a tricky group today, not that I'm too bothered as I don't think we can win it this year anyway so bring them on.

Should be some really interesting match ups with the strength of teams in pot 1, 2 and 3.

I really want Barca. I want to us to batter them and put them out of their misery.

I fear no one in this competition. we are good against good teams. I would rather play Barca than Spartak Moscow or Besiktas

Poor old Liverpool. Wonder who they got in the EFL Cup 2nd round last season...



(clue - it was the aforementioned Burton Albion!)

compare each round separately. We have Leicester away you have Doncaster at home. When we had Burton you had a non league side.

Yeah I also kinda want Barca & Leipzig just to show them who's boss.

It is ridiculous coming from a Liverpool fan.
Opening cup draws last season - Plymouth (went to a replay) and Burton.
Season before - Exeter City (again a replay needed) and Carlisle United (went to penalties)



When we had Burton you had a non league side.

We had a non-league side in the LEAGUE CUP? Wow.

Again, our defence is very good

Then hope we get Celtic instead. Watched them last game and their defence was all over the place. Lost 4-3. Good going forward though. Suits us.

AS Monaco
Borussia Dortmund
Liverpool
Celtic

None of those teams can defend so would be fantastic to watch.
