CL Quarter Final Draw - Liverpool A Apr 4th - H Apr 10th

I predicted the powers that be will be doing everything in their power to make this difficult for us.

Liverpool away first playing the Weds with less rest for the rag derby

I guess it was inevitable with the rags going out that we would be in this position.

Lo and behold we also play on the Tues post the rags derby leaving us less time to physically recover from a potential title winning game.

That means we will be at a physical disadvantage playing the rags and a physical disadvantage going into the second leg against the Scouse.

That could make all the difference in both games despite undoubtedly being superior to both teams.

We have a big squad who will all have had a nice rest in the sun. They are professional footballers being asked to play 3 games in 6 days. IF we had been playing say 4 more games before the first leg maybe it could be viewed as a possible factor, but not this time. Lets put that one straight to bed.

Lots being made of the 4-3, which would actually be an ok result away in the CL

But of course it's 21! I stand corrected.

Great point. People are annoying me in here today. Some of them need to grow a spine.

We`re facing Liverpool twice, the rags and Tottenham within 10 days

With Everton away before them.

I don’t disagree with your point, I just think we can handle United without being at full strength.

The trouble is, we have put in some very poor performances this season in games when we have fielded a weakened team. Shakhtar (a), Wolves, Bristol (x2), Wigan, Basel (h).

Be better if we beat them 4-3 at Anfield.

You are spot on Pam , great draw.

 

[Homar]

It's a disaster draw!
Not just for being drawn against Liverpool, but also the fact that Barca, Bayern and Real or Juve are definitely all going through to the semis.

It's a fair point but then if we are 4-1 down with 5 minutes remaining in the first leg, I am going to simultaneously cry and shit in my pants.
