Liverpool are such a poor team :howler:

They needed a defensive blunder in the final minutes to qualify against Standard. Man, Liverpool are going to get their asses kicked this season. I hope we're up against them. If we can neutralise Fernando Torres, it should be an easy 6-0 victory.

Well done Standard, what a performance. Too bad that ball still somehow went in.

Oh, and Liverpool = best crowd in the world? :lol: I only heard Standard supps during the match.

congrats Enron I guess.

Our chances to get better draws has increased. But we can still get this group: Manchester United, Fenerbache, Atletico Madrid.

We're poor, but I don't really care. We have good defense and some players that can be prolific. We'll figure things out. Point is we are winning while playing shitty. Hopefully we up our game and don't continue this form.

HUGE KUDOS to Standard, they were quite impressive and imposing. Tough luck, jammy ass goal, typical top team stuff, a very DIRE and poor top team.

Congrats for what?

Poor team, poor crowd, poor coach.

Liverpool will be a huge failure this year. And I'm not saying that out of disappointment. I used to like Liverpool (and part of me still does), but ever since Benitez is there, the club has lost its heart. One of the most godawful teams out there. Thank god there is Fernando Torres.

I'm pretty sure this is Rafa's last season. The club won't tolerate another year without some sort of trophy and a run at the title. And the summer we've had I think Succo might be better at buying players than our office boys.

POT 1 :
Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester, Lyon, Inter, Real Madrid

POT 2:
Bayern, PSV, Villareal, Roma, Porto, Werder, Sporting, Juventus

POT 3:
Marselle, Zenit, Steaua, Panathinaikos, Bordaux, Celtic, Basel, Fenerbahce

POT 4:
Shakhtar Donieck, Fiorentina, Atlético Madrid, Dinamo Kiev, Cluj, Aalborg, Anorthosis Famagusta, Bate Borisov


We can get ONLY 1 team from pots 1, 3 and 4

WE CAN'T :
- Get another team from pot 2
- Get another team from Italy
- Get 2 teams from the same country ( so, in case we get Atletico, we can't get Real etc)

Btw, somebody knows how will the draw be taken ? Will they take first the teams from pot 4 or they'll start from pot 1 ? Because if they start from pot 1 and we get Real or Barca, it authomatically means that we can't get Atletico.

Don't count on it. Your arrogant son of a bitch coach who has got no tactical knowledge of the game whatsoever, but just lines up an entire team of defenders and gets lucky every single time in the CL is going to pay this season. Buying Robbie Keane was a huge mistake, as he's annoying your one good player aside from Gerrard, Torres. And apart from that this Liverpool team really has got nothing to offer. Carragher has always been one of the worst in the entire EPL, I don't know why Skrtel is playing for Liverpool and your midfield can't string two passes together.

They will lose against big sides and by god, they will lose heavily.

I second this. I felt like a die-hard Standard fan while watching the match and my heart stopped for a second when Kuyt scored.
Such a shame for the Belgian team. They are a team worthy of playing in CL.

You can only hope. I really enjoy watching Match Of The Day on Saturday, but that son of a bitch Benitez always annoys me. The EPL is, no matter what people here might say, nothing short of spectacular, but Liverpool is probably the most boring team in Europe. And I know they never were a very creative team, but they did have heart.

I think that they first start with pot 1, and than finish it so that every big team is already in a group. Thats at least what I THINK.
