Champions League 2023/2024: Group F (Newcastle, Milan, Dortmund, PSG)

So many potential rematches in that lot.

 

Don't want Barcelona, we've done that in the last two. 

 

Benfica was a nice tie, would be good to play them as a competitive team this time.

 

Feyenoord obvious reasons, the CL night there and also beat them on the way to the Fairs Cup.

 

Inter, the last CL route but also my dad said there was a tasty game against them in the Fairs Cup where they tried kicking shit out of us. We won.

 

Dynamo Zagreb, beat them in their Croatia Zagreb incarnation, Jonathan Pearce 'KETSSSSBAAAAIAAAAA'..

 

Rangers, another one from the Fairs Cup days and ructions with the Rangers fans. 

 

Crvena zvezda, from our one shot at the Cup Winners' Cup.

 

 

For those reasons I'd only fancy Benfica again from this lot and Feyenoord because it would be the best shot at beating one of the top seeds. Other than that I want some fresh meat.

We had Partizan not Red Star in our CWC tie.

Think Rangers would be one of the most disappointing draws we could get.

 

Albeit could be an easy 6 points

 

Aye that'd be the only good thing. We'd be guaranteed to get at least the Europa League slot.

Looking at some of the other teams in qualifying I reckon it’s 50/50 at best as to whether Rangers actually make it to the group stage

Looking at that, there's a great chance Copenhagen become pot 3? Wouldn't fancy Rangers over Marseille for example.

So we need 6 teams ranked lower than us to have upsets in the qualification round in order to make it into pot 3?

We do, which is all of the qualifiers, so seems very, very unlikely.

Looking at that then we're not going to know the final pots standings until the morning of the 31st August.

 

But can someone explain why - 

 

All of pot 2 have a higher rating than most of pot 1 ?

Why are the manure in pot 2 not 3 as they finished 3rd ?

And if someone says ratings then why aren't all of the highest rated in pot 1, the  pot 2 etc ?

Ratings :)

 

But pot one is for Champions regardless of rating.

Coefficient.

Manure :anguish:, but because of coefficient.

Pot 1 is for Champions and the winners of the Europa League.

Pot one is the Champions of the 7 best ranked leagues + Europa winner.

 

2-4 are ranked on the club's coefficient scores

Has the topic of homegrown players been discussed yet? 
 

We need 4 club trained youth products, and from what I can tell we have… Longstaff, Anderson… ?? We can extend Dummetts contract I guess, or just include a bunch of children, but that doesn’t really seem the most ideal route to smashing Real Madrid in the Bernabeu. Am I missing someone?

 

Might be time to spend big $$$ on bringing back… Krul? Forster? There don’t appear to be any outfield players worth retrieving.
