Not a single easy game and we can easily drop points vs the “easy pots” if we dont act like a proper club and team. Fitness could very well make or break us here, considering our really weak depth.
Honestly, a lot of these games wouldnt surprise me if we won, but the same games wouldnt surprise me if we lost either. Its gonna be up to our selves more than the opponent in a lot of these, as cliché as that sounds.
What would surprise me is if we had a really clean run of games through the whole of the league-phase. Even if we do well, I think there will be one or two games where we’ll think back on and think like “what a fucking waste of points”.
Im very thankful the Athletic, Villareal and Bodö games are at home. Thats huge. Inter too honestly.

Gotta beat the best to be the best

The most annoying thing is that the away games are again against the harder opponents. Twice in England and against Juve who looked good in our test game.
Not a single „easy“ game but 24 Teams going trough makes it a bit likelier to get into the next.

Repost from the live post, I think we can get to the playoffs again here, even though it’s tougher than last year:
Win 4/4 at home and Copenhagen away, we’d have same amount of points as last year. If we can gain momentum in the league now, that’s entirely possible imo. Inter is a question mark with their new manager, the Spanish sides we can definitely beat at home along with Bodö/Glimt. And then Copenhagen away, which is not easy but we should be able to manage that.
The three other away games are TOUGH though. So tired of facing Man City as well.

Could be better, but 11 points are probably enough not to get knocked out. That’s doable.

Not the worst possible draw, but I could see us struggling against a lot of these. Watched Copenhagen and Bodo in the last round of qualifiers and they’re no pushovers. Bilbao can be tricky, same with Villa, and Juventus may be hitting their stride this year.
Overall I can see us making the lower half of the 16 first playoff round, depending on injuries, form, etc.

Holy shit. One “easy” Game and that‘s Copenhagen. Doesn‘t look like you‘ll get past the League Stage this Year.

Hot take but this draw is not that bad, besides City (if Rodri is back), every team is doable especially with BVB players overperforming in Europe

I’m quite pleased with the draw overall. I think we have some tough games but we are a great team so there is no reason as to why we can’t go and win them.

If anyone can get any tickets for the away game against Manchester City, I would love to go. It is hard to get tickets to go to the home games because I live in Liverpool. 😭

* Villareal: 2-1
* Juve: 1-1
* Bodo: 4-0
* Spurs: 1-2
* Athletic: 2-0

We always perform our best football when the draw is kinda scary
I’m excited to see the city game. It’s gonna be tough but love to see Haaland
is 17 point realistic? draw inter and Tottenham, lose city and win others
