brockmyster Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I'd actually say Bayer could be good for us to face, as long as we can produce the quick tempo counter attacking game of last season then the high pressing of there's would leave them exposed for Vardy & Co to do some damage

If we draw a smaller team and get knocked out...which is likely given our performances it will all end in a damp squib. Give me a team like Dortmund or Madrid and have a once in a lifetime competitive game any day. Fair point. For me drawing a big one right now is a guaranteed trashing that could have also bad consequences for the league. The more time you get before going against the favourites, the bigger the chances are to maybe sort things out and put up a decent fight. I think that if we draw a "small" team", we still can get through (I'd 10-30% depending on who we draw). After that you can have the match of your life against a big shark.
CosbehFox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I wouldn't worry about weaker etc. or trying to make any assessment about how we might perform against a big club - the game is mid February and then second leg mid March, it's a very long time away in football.
lcfcfoz Posted 23 November 2016 Author Posted 23 November 2016 Bye besiktas. benfica look likely to finish runners up, unless they can beat napoli at home, not sure who i would prefer, really need bayern to get a winner, much prefer atl madrid than bayern
lcfcfoz Posted 23 November 2016 Author Posted 23 November 2016 add bayern to this, rostov 3-2, unless they score 2 in final 22 mins

NewEnglandFox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Bayern were probably finishing 2nd to Atleti anyway. Good for Rostov to get a scalp. One of those monsters was going to face us in the draw anyway, I don't see the much to gain from deciding which one is an iota better draw for us.
Collibosher70 Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Not a big team next please...I was hoping for someone mediocre but spurs didn't make it

Athletico were CL runner up the two last years and knocked out Guardiola's Bayern last year. They are extremely disciplined, have a very strong identity, know each since for ever and would die for one another. Their coach is one of his kind and for me actually the best tactician avalaible bar maybe Conte. What he achieved with this team is absolutely amazing. I'd avoid BOTH of them but rather take Bayern who are still sorting things out since Ancelotti took over.

lcfcfoz Posted 23 November 2016 Author Posted 23 November 2016 man city 1 down, surely celtic cannot beat barca and man city to snatch 2nd lol, mochengladbach would need a 4 nil win, or rely on man city not beating celtic, or drawing if mochengladbach beat barca, a point for mochengladbach v barcelona would require a celtic win
ZeGuy Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Bayern lost against Rostov. Athletico need just one point to win the group.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Couldn't care less as I'm going to go wherever - ticket or no ticket!! It'll be an adventure and a laugh, regardless of any result. Mojitos are cheaper in Spain so perhaps there??

lcfcfoz Posted 23 November 2016 Author Posted 23 November 2016 Besiktas last 16 then arsenal or man City quarter preferably arsenal. semi atl Madrid. final real madrid. dream
lcfcfoz Posted 23 November 2016 Author Posted 23 November 2016 Or man City semi, or arsenal vice versar, semi and quarters, preferably arsenal quarters though and man city quarters, then atl madrid final instead of real, but real if not and win it of course
