Let's be honest; with notable exceptions (!) the group stages are pretty much a formality for the top 2 seeds. Qualify from the group, and you're into the last 16. Again; in that round, the 8 group winners generally (not always, granted) win through. You're then in the q/fs, 3 rounds from glory. Our run last season was pretty easy, up until the Bayern q/f.

Er… weren't Manchester United seeded in their group? Or have I got that wrong?
 
The destination of the title will be decided by us ,the Dippers are already using their get out of jail card with "worldy" goals and dodgy penalties , we on the other hand have not played anywhere near our capabilites. When we get our big players back and match fit i suspect this title race will be far more clearer by March/April , the only chance the Dippers have is if we do not reach the standards we have played for the last few seasons , because our best eleven is better than the Dippers best eleven and that is not even open for debate.
 
It’s in our hands. That’s all one can say.

We have had a poor spell and I think teams are starting to fear the return of our form. Liverpool have been living on the edge to get a measly 2 pt advantage.

We will both drop points in games against other clubs, but that game against each other at Klanfield will be a very big one indeed!

IF we can get a victory there, it will be seismic and possibly even knock the stuffing out of them. If not, it could prove deadly to us.

Coming as I does after a CL game, I’m hoping the extra day of rest (Liverpool are away in the CL that midweek) and us being home in the Second Leg will provide us with better prep than them.

Then again, that freak result in the run in might be the difference, too!!

The Dippers will be playing some third rate team in the Thursday cup , they could probably play their under-19 team and get a result , where as we will have to be at full strength , so the extra day is immaterial.
 
Going forward this is probably our strongest starting 11. I can't see a better rounded team in the PL. If we tighten up At the back, we'll 4 peat.IMG_2235.jpeg

We've lost 2 out of 5 -- there was also Oct 2019, the infamous Arnold handball. OliVAR at his finest.

The problem is virtually every year we get shafted in that cesspool:
- 2022/23 - Foden goal chalked off for the softest of challenges on Thiago
- 2021/22 - Milner remains on the field after at least 3 yellow card challenges
- 2019/20 - Arnold volleyball
- 2017/18 - Champ League: Salah offside goal, Jesus onside disallowed, Robertson on Sterling no pen

By no small coincidence, the 2 times the game was reff'd fairly, we were better. Shat on them in 2020/21 and should have won in 2018/19 if Mahrez hadn't mistaken the International Space Station for the goalposts.

Don’t forget the Skrtel handball in 2014 or should I say punchball. Same old scousers always cheating.
