BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 dont forget juve got Isla and are still looking to splash cash on Llorente. They will be ahead of shakhtar for sure. Last year, Shakhtar finished last behind Zenit, Apoel and Porto. I say Cfc, Juve, Shak, Nord... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Right, we should win this group with 15 points. 5 wins, 1 loss in Donetsk.I'm predicting:Chelsea (15)Shakthar Donetsk (12)Juventus (3)Jesper Gronkjaer (3)Why you underrating Juve so much?

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 AC Milan have a very easy group, though they'll lose in Leningrad to Zenit. As do Arsenal.Group A is an unknown quantity, anyone could win that group. Except Zagreb.Man United have two very difficult away trips to Cluj and Galatasaray. We may well see them struggle to top the group. Ajax and Dortmund should pose no problem for City and Real. Group G is the group of death, because you have Barcelona a few dozen classes above the rest and then three teams that are all capable of beating each other, even Spartak 'We're so irrelevant that everyone calls us CSKA' Moscow. Also it'll be a bit lol to see how the princesses of La Masia handle playing in the cauldron that is Celtic Park, and their favourite away excursion to Russia. Barca should still comfortably top the group but they have a non-existent defence, Celtic have one of the strongest home records in Europe, if Benfica still have that massive Cardozo bloke they could shock Barcelona, and even 'CSKA' might take a point off Barcelona at home.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Why you underrating Juve so much?Because I like Shakthar's aggressive policy of starting 11 Brazilians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I am not afraid of Donetsk, just of the long trip. Juventus will be a classic and the Danemark trip will just brilliant.I can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I reaaally didn't want to get Juve. But I guess they'll have to settle for second place. It's a fair group after all, especially if you compare it to the likes of group D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Because I like Shakthar's aggressive policy of starting 11 Brazilians.That doesn't answer my questions. 3 points you must be having a laugh..... Surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Too many people define Group of Death as in the group with the toughest teams on paper. The hardest possible group would be:*One of the 1st Category clubs*GalatasarayCelticShakthar/Zenit/Spartak/Dyanmo Kiev/Cluj.We'd pick up about 2 points on the road with a group like that. Stupidly good home records those teams have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azhrar 1 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Great to have Chelsea coming back to Denmark, FC Nordsjælland should be a walkover. They have a weaker team than FC Copenhagen and no Champions League experience. Overall I think we should be really happy about this group, apart from Shaktar which is rough.

FormerRussianSpy 163 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Man Utd have an easy group but a lot of travel, 1430mi to Braga, 2100 to Istanbul, and 1600 to Cluj. Their domestic form will certainly suffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Why oh why do we always seem to get an awkward group while Arsenal and United get the straightforward ones?!! :rant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
