New CL Format Thoughts | After GW2 (pg13) | GW3 (pg33)

If we qualified on goal difference in 24th place (not a particularly far fetched scenario) and went on to win the whole tournament it would merely prove what everyone sensible has known for many many years - that there’s very little correlation between winning the CL and being the best team in Europe
 
I complained about the lack of jeopardy a few rounds ago, however it's played into our favour. If we would have finished with 8 points after 6 games under the old format we'd have probably ended up in the UEFA League. Thankfully we've still got a good chance of staying in the Champions League despite how bad we've been.

Albeit having to play two extra games which they’ll moan about
 
What do we need to just stay in this competition?
The top 8 is long gone.
I see a quote from Pep saying we need 1 point? He’s surely wrong
 
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.

If we get beat in Paris we’re likely in the shit….

And might need a favour from the following bunch of cunts
