maybe_next_year Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Bayern Munich Porto Red Star Belgrade that would be my preference looking at those groups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited May 28, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Looking at that, there's a great chance Copenhagen become pot 3? Wouldn't fancy Rangers over Marseille for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
