If we are on form and have steadied that defence then bring their asses......of course they are dangerous but its doable imo. Its alot better than facing barca juve and psg thats for sure.

Oh and fuck them cuntish divers Valencia.

Its a tough tie.

They have the winter break coming up which gives them the chance to rest and whatever too. Not sure how much of a difference it will make but them having the possibility for guys like Lewandowski, Muller, Kimmich, Gnabry, Thiago, Coutinho etc to take the foot off the gas a bit before going for it again, it could help them in the run up of fixtures before. Where as we will have a lot of guys playing a lot of minutes in the next few weeks and that can always bring niggling injuries that can get worse too.

Although us being at home for the first leg is always a positive but only if we can keep a clean sheet. I fancy them to score in Germany for definite, since changing manager theyve had some good results and the likes of Lewandowski, Coutinho, Gnabry, even Muller have been steadily performing and doing well. Plus I really really rate Goretzka, a guy with real ability and energy in midfield.

As much as Atalanta would have been the easier tie, it's arguably better to be knocked out by Bayern than Atalanta.

yup, with the way we fuck up games, at least we can get knocked out by a proper team.

Oh goodie...

Always going to be a hard draw regardless but that's the whole point of the Champions League - to challenge yourself against the best on offer. 

When things click for Bayern they look devastating but they also haven't been firing on all cylinders this season and have been caught flat a couple of times. The winter break will allow them to be fresh but will it leave them under-cooked? 

It's far more important for us at present to arrest our drop in form. If we're in good nick though come February we could pose them a few problems ourselves.

It's better for us to be underdogs than favourites, especially with this squad.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Yeah because if we finished first in the group, the draw would still end up exactly like this and we would play Atalanta.

Riiight. Because thats how things work

I just hope we don't pull a Spuds 2 7 at SB

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

Fingers crossed we have a recognised back line by then...

It's CL, whether we are drawing against Atalanta or Mars best football club, the odds is still 50:50. Also the january transfer window will change everything. Chill.

Will it?

Yes, I wanted Bayern or Leipzig to face us. Bayern is a good draw. They have a lot of defensive problems like us, so it will be pretty even from the defensive point of view. Both defences are shit.
Offensive wise , Lewandowski is a Killer, but he is also not a big game Player. Lets hope he bottles it like he usually does in big games

And of course Mourinho and Spurs got RB Leipzig! 

Well RB Leipzig are higher than Bayern in the table. And we saw how Spurs did against Bayern..
