OhForAGreavsie 6,127 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) That draw didn't go so well. 😞 In the same half as, probably, the three best teams in Europe. At least we have the second leg at home against Real. Small crumbs. Edited March 17, 2023 by OhForAGreavsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of a CL push without a working defence. I mean Koulibaly and Cucurella managed to step up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) The draw was not bad. Ok Inter or Milan would have been the theoretically easy takes, but we 'd have to face one of the big boys eventually. The positive is City and Bayern were drawn against one another so we have three "giant opponents" now but we will be left with one if go through. Next Napoli and Benfica I expect will both be in the semis and they are of course decent sides both. RM have Vinicious but they are not unbeatable. In 2021 we disposed of them with relative ease, last year despite having much improved they were superlucky (Mendy's gift - Rodrigo through the eye of the needle in the replay).

Mário César 1,483 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I like that second game is not in bernabeu. its more easy to us but welll it would be a massive game lets wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I know that apart from first 30 minutes vs Liverpool they beat them very easily but other than that Real is very shaky this season. Neutralizing Vinicius makes them basically toothless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 It's predetermined however that we play against the winner of City v. Bayern in the semi ! That does n't affect our chances of winning the champions league but limits our chances of becoming the finalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,952 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 RM is a little banged up right now. Would rather face them now then when they get healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather face them now then when they get healthy. if the second leg was in bernabeu would much more hard for us and I would hope play against bayern than against city in the sem final, if Chelsea won versus real I think they are not good as last year and they lack of deep but we can not make mystake like the last year (mendy goal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,091 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 If we're going to go all the way, we'll have to do it the hard way. This RM side are more than beatable, as we've shown in previous years. The less said about the other side of the draw, the better. Napoli won't have a better chance of reaching a European final.

Also, please look at the date of my post 😅 Fofana was out injured then and there was no telling how he would be upon return. And KK and Cucurella were in terrible form at that time.

bluephoenix 1,135 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Wow if we do manage to get past RM, there is Bayern/City lurking beyond. But we manage to get through these 4 games then I would think that we should be more than capable of lifting the CL 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,105 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 ffs HORRID DRAW the only good thing is that of we make it to final we will not face one of the top 3 teams on the planet downside those 3 teams are in our 4 team side of the bracket!!!! FUCK!!!! only ways it could have been worse is if you had flipped Bayern and Napoli so we would have to beat all three in a row more than likely (or the same thing with different order Real flips with Napoli and then we face Bayern next) or flip Citeh and Napoli and we still face Real next or face Bayern next, the other in the semi and Citeh in the final) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,407 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Here we will see what Graham Potter really can do and if he will ever be able to compete with names like Carlo Ancelotti. I'm just curious who will go up against Militao and Rudiger - Havertz maybe . Edited March 17, 2023 by milka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
