Atalanta & Ajax are just a bit harder to get through than Porto & Olympiacos. On the upside, I’m delighted that Man Utd got a difficult group for the first time in their history.

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted October 1, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted October 1, 2020 Potential for some really good matches in those groups. The English teams definitely seem to have it easier bar United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your squad, you should breeze the group. Atalanta will give you the toughest test for how they like to attack teams. Having said that, there'll be gaps for you to exploit no doubt. Like when they played PSG last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Don’t get me wrong, we have been fortunate (I’m just happy we aren’t playing Napoli again). I’ll laugh my cock off if City get eliminated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Group A looks pretty straightforward. Group B looks like a toss up. Group C is a joke. Group D has 3 teams that are all really good. Group E looks very simple Group F looks decent. Group G look easy to predict. Group H could be tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any other season prior to this I would agree, at least on paper but when you can leak 3 goals to West Brom and go out of the Cup to a Spurs B side then no it's not that simple at all... At least in the group stages we get 2 goes at it, who knows maybe this is where the players will raise their games... I still think we would be better off coming 3rd and going into the Europa League myself.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since you're not as strong as you normally are - it's a fairly weak group, I'd expect Chelsea to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krasnodar aren't very good and have lost a few of their players, and Rennes don't have nearly the talent that Chelsea have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ew don't want you lot in there with us thanks In all honesty, and not to do Rennes/Krasnodar a disservice, it's a group you should qualify from in the same way Liverpool/Man City qualify from theirs. Although I think I said that last season when you had Ajax/Valencia/Lille in your group and that went right down to the wire if I remember correctly!

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 1, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ended up with a decent group and I think there will be challenges but we'll come out of it. The one that looks the best of all to me is Group B followed very closely C or A. NVM I think A will be more challenging than C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a decent group and we should get through - but Ajax and Atalanta are some pretty serious sides and those matches shouldn't be taken lightly. Having said that, we were in a bit of a similar situation with that group with PSG and Napoli. I'm not sure who's the better side out of Ajax or Atalanta, I'd guess Atalanta... but Ajax in the CL can't ever be looked over imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They for a while used to get very hard draws but it seems like in every competition nowadays they get the biggest doss draws they could get, with that exception of Real Madrid last year.

Last year's ejection from Atletico must have taught Klopp something which hopefully doesn't happen this year again. It's the CL so anything is possible really and we've seen some entertaining results when it comes to the final round of the group stages over the years so I am hoping we avoid that situation.
