We tend to suck in europe against teams that park the bus. We tend to excell against teams that want to create and play forward if we consider them good.
I would have hated a group with organised teams.


Gladbach isnt a pure "park it and counter" team either. They are no pushovers, they can counter well when they do, but we should crack this. AND, we'll take it far more seriously then some obscure scandinavian team.
Eh, we've had the best defense during the 2nd half of the season and if you exclude the last game against Augsburg(we had nothing to play for, got a guy sent off for no reason being up 1-0 and were playing without three of our cb's to begin with) we only gave up seven goals in 16 matches and 26 for the full season.

Of course we'll try to get the ball and keep it a bit cause you can't just park the bus and hope for some luck offensively. If you do so, at some point you'll give up a goal cause there's too much pressure on your defense.
Though, we've got no problems sitting back and playing on the counter attackt with Herrmann, Traore, Hazard, Hahn etc.

The only time we've topped a group in these last 3 years was when we had an absolute joke of group with a shit Chelsea, a mediocre Shaktar, and Nordsjaelland.

The last 2 years we've done fuck all against tough opponents in CL group stages. Against Real, Atletico, Gala, Olympiacos we have 1 win in 8 matches. We've absolutely sucked against better teams in group stage Zach. Not just sucked a little, but 1 win, 4 losses, 3 draws kind of sucked. That's pathetic.

I would have much preferred an easy group, as would any sane person.

Only Zach could underestimate you guys. Don't you worry you have our respect it's an excellent group for no reason. I rate herrman certainly one to look out for.

Tough draw, no two ways about it. Probably the strongest group in this year's CL. I see Sevilla as the team that might cause us the most problems. City and Borussia shouldnt be underestimated as well. Dont have doubts we will pass the group in the end though, our team is very strong and has more than enough experience to approach forthcoming games in the right manner.

Not a single doubt in my mind too. Not a single one. City are chokers, Sevilla are only competitive in EL and I can't even spell the other team's name. We got this.

The 352 did well against Dortmund :D
Yep, and the 4-3-1-2 did also well against Real.

I don't get how people can be so sure about how good we are. We just lost to Udinese. Our first opening day home loss in our entire history of Serie A. There are far too many "ifs" with this team to be sure that we are going through against a very impressive looking ManCity that may strengthen even further, last years EL champs in Sevilla (who to be fair also face many ifs without Bacca and Vidal), and an underrated Gladbach. If our Sporting Director did a good job this summer, we should go through, but it's wait and see time in that regard.

They are special. Both of them, along with the other special one form the formidable triumvirate of delusion for Tuz FC.

They are like the Powerpuff Girls of Tuz. Zach is Buttercup, DP84 is Blossom, and Zizinho is Bubbles.

Theories say that they are better fans by believing so.

Looking at sheer talent, we obviously are the best team in the group. That's how people can be so sure.
