True Blue Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 High chances of us getting an English team since we can get all of them (i think). Hope we miss them as i already see them enough in the league. Think Chelsea will get: Pot 2: Barcelona or PSG Pot 3: Napoli or Roma Pot 4: Leipzig or Sporting Lisbon

SirBalon Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 What pot are Arsenal in? Sick joking aside... This year's draw looks very strong and very interesting. There's gonna be some serious groups out there... And then there'll be Real Madrid's of course.

I think we're going to have a very entertaining group stage and not just because Liverpool are in but you're right it looks well balanced across the board.
SirBalon Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 I want to try and do Real Madrid's group, give it a go! Real Madrid Borussia Dortmund Olympiakos Quebec
El Profesor Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Trying to think of a group of the death, it´d be like this: Real Madrid Man City/ Man United Napoli Sporting or Real Madrid PSG Liverpool/Tottenham Feyenoord 18 minutes ago, SirBalon said: I want to try and do Real Madrid's group, give it a go!

They go in Pot 1 because they won their league. I can see the argument behind rewarding them for that, but I don't think it's a good system because you can get uneven groups and end up with shit teams in the knockout round while good sides get knocked out early.

Bollocks that. Nothing wrong with the old system. Football has clearly never heard the term "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
Smiley Culture Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Looking at a best possible scenario for English sides. Surely United and City want Juve from Pot One, if they don't get Moscow or Benfica? It then rules out Napoli, Roma and obviously Liverpool and Tottenham from Pot Three meaning you're left with Basel, Olympiakos, Anderlecht and Besiktas. From a Chelsea point of view, I can't see much which guarantees them a much easier route to the knockout stage. I'd say that avoiding Napoli and Roma is their greatest challenge as then whoever they get from Pot Two and themselves should be progressing. For Tottenham and Liverpool, I think the best case is Benfica, Moscow or Donetsk. That does leave a tough draw from Pot Two but barring Leipzig and maybe Feyenoord, it shouldn't be too bad for them.
The Artful Dodger Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Joke that Man Utd are in such a high pot.

They won the Europa League, they won an actual trophy, in fact they won two trophies. It's a joke that England has so many teams and the reward for doing nothing is a Champions League place.
