Yes, and hand Monaco to Dortmund, so we can get the winner of that match in the semifinal.

Screw the pride of winning the CL by beating all the best teams. Give us an easy road to the final, where anything can happen even if we face a team stronger than us.
It sounds like a good way to get to the final but if possible Id like Bayern and Barcelona to take each other out and the winner to get the winner of Real Atl Madrid so they can take each other out
With Dortmund Leicester and Monaco we will definitely go to the final and will meet (hopefully) Real Madrid who I see as the best team for us to face out of the 4 clubs mentioned above...

Just like the last 4 times we tried :baus:
Yeah but this time we have Higuain and in finals he... nevermind... We do have Dybala too though..

You don't defend with just CBs. You defend with 11 players. If you see it like that then it's an even bigger indictment on Pep.

To defend a 2 goal lead with just Fernandinho protecting fucking Stones-Kolarov is just delusional, or even worse it's as if he has no respect for the opponent.

Teams to avoid are Bayern and Barcelona, the latter is more to do with the fear of the ref "falling under pressure" when we end up playing them at their pitch. Everyone else I'm fairly confident against.

Atletico are a disgrace. They settled for a 0 - 0 at home against a weak Leverkusen side. They really struggle to put teams away, no way will they ever gain new fans with such performances.
I see what you did there :D However, taking a not so subtle dig at people who rightfully called out the team for relaxing way too much in the 2nd half is unfair. Even Allegri was critical of the team's approach in the 2nd half. I don't agree with the whole gaining new fans with such performances tho; that bit was a tad extreme, considering it was only one match. Thus far, we haven't been entirely convincing or exceptional in the CL, but that says a lot about the mental fortitude and strength in depth of our team. If we are more ruthless, clinical, and add more quality to our play, play at pace, and eliminate the silly errors we tend to commit, we will be incredibly difficult to eliminate. Here's to drawing Monaco or Dortmund :beer:

I'd take Bayern over Barca.

Yeah. Fuck winning the CL the hard way. Let's get to the final by playing Monaco and Dortmund, while the other fuckers eliminate each other. Hopefully we can finally win it, and once we have accomplished that, I'm all for defending our title the hard way.
