Teams dropping from CL..

Man Utd, Brugge, Donetsk and Ajax will be seeded with group winners.

Olympiakos, Krasnodar, Salzburg and Kiev will be unseeded so are possible opponents for group winners .

Yes, one of the most absurd rules in all of football.

We are better than all those teams

Aren't you worried that the refs will help these teams to beat you?

None

Shakhtar are the best team out of that bunch.
Ajax are a poor imitation of the team they were.
United the big name but nothing to fear there.

I wouldn't mind playing any of these. No "big" teams dropping out this year. It's a great opportunity to reach the final. We have to be favourites for this competition.

this. losers should be out not given a chance to win something.

Looking at the CL dropouts, and the likely group qualifiers, I can see only a very few number teams we should be worried about, given we maintain our current form.

I actually think Rangers could be one of the few to worry about.

From the rest, some are up there on reputation only, and you obviously have to score 3 against Utd to combat the official's help which usually equates to at least 2 goals.

But otherwise, if Jose really wants to win this cup, we do have as good a chance as anyone else.

How on earth can you, not only get rewarded for failure in another cup competition, but to make it an even bigger joke, you get seeded for it. The whole thing is ridiculous, but as we all know is, once again, all about MONEY.

we're top of the top league. ergo we are the best team on the planet and to be feared by all
