Champions League Draw & TV Pairings

[cleavers]

Whatever we think of our group I'll wager Juve, Seville and Monchengladbach aren't exactly delighted at the prospect of playing us.

Or each other !

Sevilla have just signed Llorente, though not sure how good he is now.

They also have Immobile on loan but have lost Bacca.

 

[Leech]

How good are Bor idiot? Assume all Bundesliga teams are strong?

Good thing about our group is that if we play to our potential we'll be a cut above the others, while they will most likely constantly take points off each other.

No -- Plzen and CSKA were far easier. That was near a guarantee to the knock-outs. This year is not.

LOL! You're talking about us aren't you? Manchester City Football Club? City? You've seen our players, our team? Sevilla are about as good as Spurs and by rights wouldn't even be in the CL because they finished 5th in La Liga. Not second or third or even fourth? FIFTH! And I've seen Mönchen this season, they're bobbins! West Ham Stoke Palace look like better sides.

 

[SWP's back]

Gladbach is not easy... and so are not Sevilla and juventus

Luckily we are fucking difficult so that's their look out.

 

[cyberblue]

Bring it on no reason why we cant finish top of the group & comfortably as well

 

[SWP's back]

Not that tough. By rights Sevilla would be in the Europa Lg if the old rules applied for Europa Lg. Mönchen' look a poor side this season. And Juve have lost Tevez and Vidal, two of their best players and won't be as good this season and moreover still have Evra at left back.

And Pirlo

 

[aka blue jambo]

when will the dates be confirmed?

Well, main thing is that we need to win the group to have a better chance of progressing beyond the last 16. That means avoiding Real, Barca and Bayern in the group. We have. No excuses now. Having said that, one of those teams will probably cock up their group and come 2nd, and we'll still draw them in the last 16!

Don't panic, if they do cock up, we'll cock them off out of it.

They also have Immobile on loan but have lost Bacca.

From watching La Liga/Europa League last season Sevilla are a neat little side and will punish us if we're below par but if we have realistic ambitions to win this tournament then we should be seeing them off, perhaps comfortably.
