I think Valencia shocks one of Juventus/United.

 

They'll shock Juve if either. Do you really think United losing is a shock?

Honestly I don't think Valencia will do as well this season as last. Marcelino is a great coach but they were only playing one game a week and they haven't added much that wasn't replacing what they lost. Will be interesting to see Marcelino's tactics and how they adapt to the CL with them, though. Good to see it up close too.

 

Damn another tough group for Spurs. It’s gonna be fun playing Messi though.

 

Can't see this myself m8.

Delighted Henry Onyekuru has got a group where he could well flourish in.

 

Regarding all English teams going through, maybe so. But City will be the only team who get the job done early this time around. Spurs really could regret their window in this respect and I can't see Liverpool being able to rest either.

 

English club takes.

Liverpool get through second in group. We're better than Napoli.

City has a cakewalk.

United don't make it out of that group.

Spurs in a tough group but probably get by.

 

I can see City and Liverpool going through fairly easily. United and Spurs less so.

 

Juve will top the group. United will only need a point on the last match day to advance, but will concede a sloppy winner away to Young Boys in stoppage time of match day 6.

 

Liverpool's group looks tough. Both PSG and Napoli is nasty. It's funny seeing a group like that or United and then look at who is in Group D.

How are Inter these days? If they're any good, the Spurs group is a bit of a bastard too.

 

Inter have great players but have started terribly.

 

Fuck I didn't want Sporting.

 

That Salzburg/Celtic/Leipzig group is haaaaaaarsh

 

Both Scottish teams got a tough gig imo. Chelsea will breeze their group with their kids. Well, the ones that are not loaned out.

 

My friend and I are considering going to Sporting away now. Can't wait.

 

I'm supporting Dudelange in the Europa. First Luxembourgish team to make the group stages. They've some pretty impressive wins behind them so far.

 

We can qualify from that group. We should be taking 6points off Rosenborg minimum and then beating Salzburg at home. We need to take something away from those teams. Still uncomfortable about those two teams being in our group. UEFA are at it.

We've signed Mulumbu. Benkovic was training with the team today so I'd say that's as good as done, cheers Leicester.

 

I think Leipzig and Salzburg will qualify but it will be close, with Celtic a close third and Rosenborg doing okay too. I think that could be the closest group really and no team qualifying would surprise me.

 

We even took a point off Salzburg away under Deila in 2014, drawing 2-2 (but got beat at home) and we're better than that team and Salzburg are worse off. Funnily enough Kevin Kampl played for Salzburg back then and he plays for Leipzig now. A much younger Keita was also in that team back then. Sabitzer too now playing for Leipzig when he played for Salzburg.

Not confident but it is there for us to do and we can if we show up.

 

Gonna be a shit-ton of red bull in our group.

 

Wednesday have signed Josh Onomah and Michael Hector on season long loans. Quite happy with that. An exciting young midfielder and an experienced centre back.

 

Matthew Pennington to Ipswich on loan. Good luck with that one @Platy

 

Dembele forced a move to Lyon and we didn't get a replacement. Buzzin for this season now.

 

Karuis in disguise

 

Alisson got away with that v Brighton. Not today. Awaiting on reports of a concussion.

 

Glad I don't have Salah in fantasy. Never going to replicate last season.
