nice draw, Barca and Bayern should get the job done, but the other 2 ties are too close to call, anything can happen, it should be interesting. Cheers

Sick goal from Ronaldo yesterday! You just can't not watch it in awe.

great goal, its amazing what he can do in these games, he simply lives for the big games, his record speaks for it self, its just mind blowing, hate him or love him, the guy is simply world class, just like wine, keeps getting better with age. We better enjoy the Messi-Ronaldo rivarly while it lasts, there wont be players like them around so soon. Cheers

Who else but Salah

[Laylabelle 9,351]

1-0 Liverpool... No surprises who 

And 2-0...Chamberlain 

Urgh... 

[Milan 17,853]

Thunderbolt from Ox. 2-0

[Laylabelle 9,351]

So glad the game against them will mean nothing... 

Come on City do something! Hopefully if Liverpool win this round its bye in the next... Sadly they look in for the long run

Liverpool destroying them, City can't do anything. Pep needs to shake things up at HT. Laporte at LB camping back to contain Salah is hampering their attack, might be replaced.

Who would have guessed that actually pressing them and attacking instead of sitting back scared to be embarrassed would actually make De Bruyne and Silva look normal.

Holy shit what are pool doing. Salah is uncontainable.

Salah is player of the year. no questions.

3-0

[Laylabelle 9,351]

They have the players to play like this though. This is why they're way above us in the league. 

Into next round the to at this rate unless something drastic happens 

[manpe 10,861]

Pool making city look like us against them.

Conte will come out and start moaning about lack of transfers or players of his desired quality while klopp keeping using the ordinary players like ox lovren Arnold managing and maximising them makes me frustrated....coming out to attack and play your game makes the likes of Silva and De bruyne looks ordinary

[robsblubot 3,502]

Fernandinho is playing the same way he did against Germany ... another 7 goals?!

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Now this is how you take the game to one of the big boys , this is a perfect game by Liverpool (so far) not our much hyped display against Barcelona. Conte will never ever do with Chelsea what Liverpool is doing to City right now.

Guardiola will need to change his formation back to a 4-3-3, bring in Sterling and sub out one of the back 3. It's a shame Aguero can't play

Exactly. It's pure hype-fuelled BS when people claim that we 'need' the best-of-the-best to compete.

Look at that Liverpool midfield; look at it! Chelsea fans would be having a real tantrum if we were putting that out against anyone better than Watford, and yet look at what they are capable of producing in the right set-up, with the proper coaching, and with the correct mentality.

The board bear some of the blame for what has happened this season, sure, but Conte's endless 'need' to emphasise our squad's apparent inferiority at every opportunity appears to have been the key ingredient to our failure so far this season. Enough. We have Hazard, Kante, and Azpilicueta, all of whom can be supported quite ably by players like Morata, Giroud, Willian, Alonso, Christensen, and Rudiger. Our squad has some (serious) flaws in it, no question, but it is SO much better than Conte has made it seem to be for the majority of this season.

Remember we had a chance to go for Klopp if we sacked Mourinho earlier than we did during the 15/16 meltdown. On this forum. I was calling for Mourinho's sacking and going for Klopp at all cost. Another one our board messed up
