Well given the current situation where it looks like we will have to concentrate on the cups this season a failure to get into the quarter finals would be very bad.
I dont fancy us against Real and Atletico. They have serious knockout stage experience of getting really far in it.
Lyon, Dortmund would be able to hurt us but we would be clear favourites before the tie of course we were vs Monaco 3 years ago too.
Napoli is a dark horse now, Gattuso coming in, there was bit of chaos there recently not sure if its solved with Ancelotti gone, as some payers want to leave maybe, allso they are shit in Seria A so far, they are not in top4 currently, they are the hardest to say how strong they are really, I mean only them were able to beat Liverpool this season.
Thing is no easy draws, we were quite lucky with Basel and Schalke last two seasons for the 1/16 round and they were one or two level below the current possible opponents.
Even Carabao, when we beat Oxford after that the semifinal will be like City, Leicester, United and Liverpool. Hell of a two game semi for us whoever we get there. We need to sort our defending otherwise we are in for a shock.
