Champions League - 2017/18

[StevePil]

Come on lads, we can get through the group. We all moaned last year at the draw and look what happened. This is tough, very tough but those games at Wembley will be awesome, just wish we were still at WHL for them but the 90,000 at Wembley will be brilliant....

AND..... do we really think Madrid and Dortmund will be happy to draw us, they wont - fact..! they will be just as frustrated they are in the group of death. I think we can get 2nd behind Madrid but we need 4 points from Dortmund which is possible...... lets not hang ourselves yet but hopefully we start with a home game against Apoel and get the 3 points to get us on the way

Madrid needs to be 3rd and 4th with Dortmund in between, hopefully this is the plan.

We do need Aurier though as Trippier against Bale and Ronaldo will be a ridiculous scoreline

COYS!

The two games against Apoel are must wins. Hopefully win both those and nick a draw in one of the games against Dortmund.

Fuck that. Beat APOEL twice, beat Dortmund and home and draw away. Draw at home to Madrid, lose away. 3-2-1, 11 points, we're through. Easy.

if you fear the big boys then why you want us to play in CL...

remember Dele misses the first three games

Fixtures datea anyone?

Buzzing. Bring it on. Will try to go to at least one match from rainy cornwall. Hoping Madrid at home will be a wednesday night game, makes it easier for me to have time off work.

Buzzing about the big games coming up but let's not sugarcoat this is probably the hardest group we could expected.

Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund! This is what the Champions League is all about!

Fancy us to be competitive with Dortmund and to pit our wits against arguably the best team in world football is going to be a brilliant spectacle.

Bring it on!!!

Fuck, I forgot about that, oh well, guess Son can step in for him, I am sure Son will be just as hyped to play in those games.

I was so desperate for barca

As I said in my previous post in ref. to a hard group. If we drop down i hope we take the EL seriously and win it. Would be awesome. We got a good group with glamour ties so I don't see the benefit of advancing (unlikely) and getting knocked out in the first KO round. Would rather drop down and win the EL, gaining silverware, and securing CL. If CL groups go to plan their will be no one to fear. Best might be Roma and we already saw what they are.

Win our home games, and both games against Maribor, and I recon we're through. Some fantastic matches ahead of us.

Maribor?

 

[Hazardousman]

If we do actually manage to get through this group then our players will know they have nothing to fear, imagine the kind of confidence that will inspire in this group?

If we don't then we have lost nothing and gained lots of experience, it's a win/win for us as a team.

Fucking hyped!

 

[werty]

Probably means we won't be signing Isco this summer...

 

[glacierSpurs]

Dortmund selling Dembele away, something positive!

But he stays or not, I honestly think we are not below Dortmund in any case.. Games against them are winnable and I'm sure Poch will feel the same.

Not a chance buddy.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

I joke a lot - but the truth is, we can beat Dortmund. Win at home, draw at Dortmund, and we finish 2nd.

 

[StevePil]

No Alli for the first 3 games is probably the biggest blow to us and the lad....!

 

[rabbikeane]

Hapoel is Tel Aviv. But we've drawn APOEL from Cyprus.

Maybe we should use the full name to avoid confusion:
Athletikos Podosferikos Omilos Ellinon Lefkosias
