    Champions League Last 16 "Draw", 21/02 11am GMT

    Arsenal
    Aston Villa
    Atletico Madrid
    Barcelona
    Bayer Leverkusen
    Bayern Munich
    Benfica
    Borussia Dortmund
    Club Brugge
    Feyenoord
    Inter Milan
    Lille
    Liverpool
    PSV
    Paris Saint-Germain
    Real Madrid

    Those are the teams but we can only face Feyenoord or PSV.

    Feyenoord it seems will be appointing RVP as head coach.

    Not a bad draw for us.
    If we get through to the last eight, Saka and Martinelli should be back like new signings and you never know........

    Let's hope he's as successful as Van Nistelhorse

    Good draw but never underestimate our ability to flop in Europe.

    PSV beat us in the round of 16 in 2007.

    I think win the tie (against them or Feyenoord) or not, we will definitely make heavy weather of it.

    Yep!
    I watched the Madrid v City game last night. I am not sure if City are terrible or Madrid are bloody good.

    I wouldnt fancy us against them.

    I mean, we beat them 5-1, so...
    City are a busted flush. But I wouldn't fancy us against Real either.

    I still think this is true.

    No team right now is the blunderbuss the likes of us and City (and to a lesser extent you ) have been the last however-many years. I don't think anyone will be, or need to be, for the next few years. If ever again.

    It really depends where we are come May 1st. After City at the weekend you have five home games and only two away games barring a downturn in form, most if not all those games should be wins for you.

    Chelsea (a), Arsenal (h), Brighton (a) and Palace (h) are not games I’d want to be concluding the season with


    But the strong possibility arises that you could be far away from us by then


    Our next three away games are Forest, United and Everton. Forest as you well know are a team that can cause problems and they have a goalkeeper that is practically impossible to score against (unless you’re Bournemouth). United well given their home form that should be a comfortable win but there’s too much history in that fixture for us to ever be confident and Everton is often a bear trap of a fixture for us. If we win all three of those games yeah you might have cause to be worried but that’s a huge if.

    The other thing is as I said earlier is you guys are not losing games which for me makes a big difference. I think there’s a huge difference psychologically (especially away from home) between drawing and losing. A draw isn’t a bad result at Villa simply because almost no one wins there (we were lucky to).


    The way you conceded that 98th minute goal to Everton must have been a bit of a blow, but then you could say the same about the Newcastle game and you went on to get a draw with ten men against Fulham and then score 14 goals in the next three games.

    The other factor is that Liverpool have not won more than four league games in a row this season. We haven’t won more than three (we break that if we beat West Ham tomorrow). But ultimately I’ll be honest I don’t see things swinging towards us unless Salah picks up an injury…feels to me that he’s your get out of jail free card…he’s helped you to do enough when you haven’t necessarily been at your best
