CPL Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Crazy what a difference a week makes. Pessimism gone to optimism with us. Villa seeming to have hit a massive rock with a few defeats. Will their season faulter like ours did last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopeandGlory Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 This new Champions League format is shite. I’ve tried to enjoy it but still can’t accept that everyone plays in the same league but you all play different teams. It also just majorly benefits the bigger teams, of course. Do those dropping out at this stage go into the Europa League still? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if their season does go tits up it helps forge a strong alliance between us and them as challenger clubs getting fucked over by the Sky Six's system.

Look at the top 8, Liverpool and City aside there’s a great mix of second tier teams. If the likes of Madrid and PSG don’t make it through the league I’d be amazed if it doesn’t get scrapped next year to protect them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a challenge for the big teams, as they can't just coast through in some pitiful group. Madrid and Bayern are well down the table at the minute. Also think there's been more interesting matches to watch with each round of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certainly more interesting matches every round but it still feels like the results don't really matter. Last rounds should be different but I'm firmly in the team meh when we are not participating compared to groups of four teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball would have rolled to Raya but because it happened to hit Merino's hand Inter are gifted a penalty. Rules are shambles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last rounds should be different but I'm firmly in the team meh when we are not participating compared to groups of four teams. I'm with you. Was willing to give it a chance but now think it's basically become a tedious procession, with little weight being given to games that should be heavyweight clashes. Inter have rested 4-5 of their best players tonight because the league game at the weekend is bigger, and they know they're probably already through this early on. The new format has reduced the jeopardy rather than increase it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
