Pokerprince2004 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Think lowest we can mathematically finish from looking is 15th? Galatasaray are 17th and can't catch us really (bar 10 goal swing) and two teams between us and them play each other in Dortmund v Inter so both cant overtake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Marseille Bilbao PSV and leverkusen all have a good chance of finishing 17th-24th... Would be sod's law for Inter, Juventus, Dortmund & Napoli to be the other 4 teams and we have to face them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we finish 9th, we can only play the team who finish 24th or 23rd. If we finish 10th it’s either 23rd or 22nd and so on. If we get into the top 8 then we’ll be given a winner of match tie.

Lush Vlad Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Not getting at least a point at Marseille and not holding onto the lead in Leverkusen is now more annoying than it was. We’d be sitting pretty. That said. It’s a quality return to the CL. Been in every game we’ve played and dominated in four of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GideonShandy Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This site allows you to see how the final table would look after predicting the 8th round results. www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/simulator/ Assuming we lose to PSG, I got Galatasaray, Qarabag and Napoli as likely knockout opponents.

Sibierski Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Only Arsenal have conceded less than us so far. Admittedly we’ve got to play the holders away still, but that’s something going into knock outs, that we can keep things tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramirez Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 read yesterday as Arsenal had guaranteed top 2 they would play at home for all second legs up to the final now, a change to last year, so presumably if Bayern are the other top two side they would go into other side of the draw. Was plotting last night and seen if we managed to scrape in top 8 we would likely play 9/10th in last 16, if we finished 7th or 8th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Shame we couldn’t get a 4th goal last night as it would have meant that PSG couldn’t really draw against us and will have to attack us which would have been better for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
