Pretty impossible to avoid glamour ties from pot 1. Least glamorous imo would be psg and Dortmund due to recently playing them, and hardly bad trips!

Give me: Bayern (a) Chelsea (h) Slavia Prague (a) Marseille (h) Villareal (h) Club Brugges (a) Union SG (a) Copenhagen (h) 19 points and straight into the last 16. 12 points would almost guarantee a play off round.

Famous Nick Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I expect a pretty heavy draw looking at those pots. Significant chance we wont be in top8, but reach top24 which gives us a playoff vs some other club who could be brutal strong but also a team where we are favorites. It would be huge disappointment if we couldnt even reach top24 and it would again mean our CL prize money lot less than other English CL clubs would get. Villa managed to reach QFs and still put up a good fight for CL places through PL so they didnt fall back that badly despite extra 12 CL games. Albeit their squad was a bit deeper than ours, so we must make the squad bit bigger and the bench to have more quality too. Will be hard to manage these CL games when on both side of a CL game there is a top6 PL opponent. like Chelsea away, Real home, Liverpool home in 6/7 days time. there will be a few of these. Howe cannot just go with same 11 in each as that will cause lots of injuries, fatigue, but we need proper bench and quality to be able to rotate better.
