No but it increases the odds of facing a somewhat easier team. Simple mathematics.

I don't take that into the account.

 

[Luca]

Agreed, no one can be taken for granted all it takes is a slip up in the next two games and we're out.
Ps atletico looking decent but if we can torment the central defenders....

 

[Red]

I'm not convinced that facing a 'weaker' team is necessarily a good thing for us.

 

[Luca]

exactly, if anything a bigger team provides nedved et al with tremendous drive and passion, something which has made a difference in difficult matches. but at the same time Chelsea may just be too strong.

 

[Osman]

Some teams we should avoid, period. We cant get Man U, Barca, but like, if we could draw them, I would want to avoid them in every way possible, for now. Eventually you have to face them.

With these second pot teams, I only want to avoid Chelsea, they have a better team, even if its doable head to head, prefer every other choice. Preferly Porto or Sporting.

I wouldn't much fancy Chelsea, but I wouldn't be unduly concerned at drawing any other team.

I fancy Sporting.

Of course most of us would rather avoid Chelsea than a team like Panathinaikos. But like Luca said nothing should be taken for granted.

I'd rather we face a team like Real Madrid and beat them in 180min than face Bate away and struggle to them.

Like Ranieri said and I think thats the best thing he's said so far this season "I don't care against whom we'll play, I care about our performance in February".

Makes lot of sense to me.

 

[Luca]

true, me niether, I'm in Turin so I'll catch the last 16 game.
Ps what on earth was balotelli wearing?!

we would benefit from someone like Lyon, a good enough team to give us our 'never say die' attitude, but they're not invincible.

Also remember we aren't dead certs to win OUR group yet.

 

[Enron]

I hope Liverpool don't draw a Sporting or Porto as teams from Portugal tend to cause us trouble.

inter

 

[Luca]

Real- Liverpool would be a fascinating game, not sure you'd like it though
Do you think you could take inter again this year?

 

[Luca]

what an awful thing the famaugosta keeper did.

I wouldn't mind drawing Inter again or Madrid. We tend to play better against top competition. Especially with that second leg at Anfield. Yeah I could be down for that.

 

[Luca]

I think Madrid could be a suprise in the CL ramos could really boost them, on the other hand...

Or things could go the other way.

 

[Azzurri7]

Draw will be on friday right?

mourinho

he is special just like his squad of retarded losers

 

[Luca]

Yep, it's a tough one to call. I'd rather stay away from them for now.
