never ever I was expecting us to be in such a bad position after I seen the draw we got which I thought is on the lucky side. with 4 must win easier games and only tricky are the two Italian sides and PSG. not expected losing to Juventus and Sporting like we did, and not beating Feyenoord. the draw vs Inter was acceptable as they are decent side and we missed big chances in that game to win it.
PSG's draw for example levels harder with Arsenal, City, Real, Bayern, Atletico all to play against and fucking hell if next round they beat us they are ahead of us with much harder draw as well.
we still need to try to finish at least in the top16, to be seeded and finish the tie at the Etihad rather than somewhere away from home.
but its extra two games which really not good for us in an already quite serious fixtures list around February where we only have top6 opponents in the PL. and if we win in the playoff we are deffo not seeded for last 16.
have a feeling we may meet Sporting or Juventus in the playoff.
if they would close it down today, for our 22nd position we would meet 11th placed Atletico Madrid. Griezmann, Alvarez would rip our defence apart imo in current form.
