I really don't like that group from a United perspective, all teams that have been from 'lol this should be a piece of piss, oh wait we got knocked out' groups over the years.

Benfica can beat United easily. Basel should be a win, but CSKA Moscow is going to be a tough game to go to in Russia.

United to finish 2nd. Group isn't as easy as it looks.

As always though, EPL teams in Europe, complete and utter fuckery and disaster due to how poor a league the EPL really is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Lunar FC]

My god, that Liverpool draw. 😱😱😱

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

 

[Dadasch]

Oh man...some EPL Fans are due for a rough awakening this year. Apparently you need it every year.

 

[His Majesty]

Dele Alli is still banned for three (should have been 10) European games after his legbreaker so Spurs are pretty fucked overall.

 

[Tubie]

Ronaldo with the banter.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Give me the schedule of the games dammit!!!

I agree. I hate when we have to travel to Russia of Ukraine... Never easy fixtures. We should make it out of the group but this is a tougher group than it looks on paper.

 

[Zasa]

Buffon you fucking hunk

 

[CMojicaAce]

Barcelona wins something!!

 

[Lashley]

You all should know by now that there are no easy games in the Champions League

only solace I take from that group is that I don't think Mourinho will take it lightly.

 

[sora87]

It's payback time sevilla!

 

[Markitron]

I'm legit shocked that Liverpool didn't go into one of the groups of death. Arsenal fans must be pretty pleased with that draw, Spurs V Arsenal in the Europa League Final, Believe!

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Yeah, really not good at all

Atleti is gonna be really rough, they are made for the CL it seems. Feel like Roma should be a win at home, and a draw away. Qarabag should be 2 wins, but so should Burnley at home....Second place in the Poulenc and then up against PSG!

I'd love the North London derby as the final

It's that away game in Qarabag. A win on paper, but the travel...

Spurs must be 2nd favourite after Arsenal now.

 

[Infernostew]

He didn't take any of the Europa matches lightly with his team selection so I don't see why he would take group stages of the CL lightly.

 

[toweringinferno]

According to Sky Sports News Dembele to Barca is done for €110 million

It's not as bad as getting ass blasted in one of the other groups, but it's the kind of group that if United have one "take it for granted" night on a pitch they'll be punished. Arrogant United or 50% effort United will end up being beaten/draws.

Mou parking the bus in any of those games is how it could end badly as well. Fuck your 1-0 win in Europe Mou. All out attack Football manager setting all the way, I want defenders playing as strikers to win games 4-2 if need be.

 

[MaizeRage25]

Wait, City got a decent draw?

Maybe all that booing finally paid off

 

[Markitron]

Merson is predicting Liverpool to beat Arsenal 3-1 on Sunday.

We're fucked.

 

[TheLionsDen]

Barca got a decent draw but I'm scared for Tottenham, we had a favourable draw last season yet we still got bounced to the Europa league.

 

[Lashley]

30M for Jonny Evans

 

[His Majesty]

Merson is predicting Liverpool to beat Arsenal 3-1 on Sunday.

We're fucked.

Is that the guy who predicted Liverpool to go unbeaten last season?

 

[sora87]

Merson is predicting Liverpool to beat Arsenal 3-1 on Sunday.

Gonna end up being like 5-5 the way both teams have started this season

 

[kmag]

Celtic gon get shagged.

Yep, but so will Anderlecht, and given Anderlechts start to the season Celtic have a decent chance of finishing 3.

 

[brokenbeans]

i'll take it

 

[BMO = GOAT]

When are we finding out the schedule for the group stages? Can't wait for that Bayern vs PSG matches

 

[Sato Koiji]

Group B seems to be the action group.

 

[Markitron]

I'm scared for Tottenham

 

[DBT85]

Spurs and celtic are going to get boned. Can see United, city and Chelsea getting through. Pool I think is 50/50

 

[Beefy]

Spartak Moscow team is just....

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spartak-moscow/startseite/verein/232

No way would I want to go to Shaktar with how fucked up Ukraine is.

 

[His Majesty]

Yep, but so will Anderlecht, and given Anderlechts start to the season Celtic have a decent chance of finishing 3.

Anderlecht is really awful but their current playing style might suit them more in the Champions League. Their coach, Rene Weiler, plays the most boring style of football you can possibly imagine. Don't expect any exciting matches unless it's a trashing.

Their transfers the last two years have been uniformly terrible. Teodorczyk is one of the worst strikers in the league at the moment, Stanciu is the laughing stock of Belgium for his €10M fee and Dendoncker is going down with the ship. They literally have one good player at the moment (Onyekuru) and he's on loan from Everton.

I can't emphasize enough how bad Anderlecht is.

 

[Lashley]

Neymar is to sue former club Barcelona over a £23.97m unpaid loyalty bonus.

 

[Markitron]

Is that the guy who predicted Liverpool to go unbeaten last season?

Nah I think that was Lawrenson, who can politely be described as an oxygen thief. Merson isn't quite that bad, but he's not far off. Has a hate boner for Liverpool so predicting them to win is usually a bad sign.

Gonna end up being like 5-5 the way both teams have started this season

I can see it being 3-3 in all honesty.

 

[CrayToes]

Yeah, really not good at all

I think Chelsea will be fine. Roma are pretty shite. 2nd place at least I reckon.

 

[MaizeRage25]

30M for Jonny Evans

Did you see Sane try to play on the back line? It was scary.

 

[Zasa]

I think Chelsea will be fine. Roma are pretty shite. 2nd place at least I reckon.

Since when are Roma 'shite'? Lol

 

[toweringinferno]

30M for Jonny Evans

Man city have to meet the home grown quota lol. Why else did the pay that much for Kyle Walker

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Group B has the best to watch match with Bayern and PSG. But group H is the stacked group. Im glad CL post is back!!!! Wooo

 

[MrS]

Spurs will be the only English team to get knocked out in the group stage. 4 English teams in the last 16 will be awesome.

 

[Beefy]

Always one big club that fucks up, who is it going to be?

 

[Markitron]

One of the 4 will shit the bed, it's between Liverpool and City IMO.

I'd laugh my ass off if it was Barca.

 

[Moobabe]

Always one big club that fucks up, who is it going to be?

We've got a good chance of fucking up I think. City, United and Pool will be fine in their groups. Spurs are boned though.

 

[MoodyFog]

My god, that Liverpool draw. 😱😱😱

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

you don't win shit after group stage

 

[ambar_hitman]

Not liking our chances. Roma can be tough.
Spurs are fucked though.
United got easiest group. Liverpool are relatively fine, City too.
I would love to knock out Atletico though. Fuck Costa.

 

[Lunar FC]

you don't win shit after group stage

Fine with me, but I feel like with another good draw we could make the quarters. After that we're probably done.
