Champions League 2008/2009 Knockout phase

[tritolone]

the draw is on friday 19.12 at 12.00 CET.

lets talk about our possible opponents.

group A: roma won the group but it think we can't play them becausewe are both italian. good for us they beat chelsea

group C: liverpool first, i think with 442!! we are able to revenge last seasons defeat.

group D: this is why im angry with mourinho. barcelona is in out-of-this-world form...lets hope we avoid them or they better lose that form

other 4 teams come tomorrow

 

[Azzkikr]

pool, united, arsenal, barca and one of lyon/bayern.

And we play our home game first this year because we finished second.

Doesnt matter much who we face of the first 4 of the mentioned. All those are capable of playing football several levels above anything we have showed with Mourinho.

We have a slim chance if we get lyon or bayern.

We are out with 80% certainty already.

 

[Ilkinio]

Give me Pool!

 

[Azzkikr]

I want pool the least really.

Id prefer not getting a football lesson by the same team as last year.

I hope we get Barca, atleast that way we can enjoy the ass whooping from a football perspective, even though it could easily be a tennis score loss.

 

[lonewolf19]

Man Utd is not certain yet. They are 90% group leader but anything can happen and f*** it up
We have better chance to beat Lyon/Bayern and Arsenal IMO

 

[rockball]

I don't want Pool. Losing to them again would be the end of the world for me. Barca would do just fine. I am confident of playing well against them.

 

[NimAraya]

I just hope we dont get Barca. ANy other team I dont mind.

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

We all better hope and pray that we get Barca. For me losing to them will be the least humiliating of all. Losing to all others will be painful. I would hate seeing an English team make us look like 5 year old girls running for their virginity only to get brutually raped in the end, like what Liverpool did last year.

 

[Ziyad]

I want United...And i am sure of qualifying to the round after

wow. where did that confidence came from Ziyad?

wow. where did that confidence came from Ziyad?

I see them every week play and i truly think we can take them.Contain CR and they are an average team with great coach.Our coach knows them well too..I think it will be physical game which we can win.

I think Inter needs a big team for two reasons.One so that we dont take them lightly because the pressure is on.Second to exorcize our CL demons once and for all...

Now that big team has to be predictable of sorts and not too fast with too many weapons.Out of those characteristics i think ManU is the one..

 

[Ajesh]

Hope we avoid Arsenal and Barca.

 

[1919]

Hope we avoid Arsenal and Barca.

Why Arsenal??
I think they are the best we can get

 

[Ajesh]

Why Arsenal??
I think they are the best we can get

I know they mess up every other week but when its really their day few teams stand up to them.

Besides they would be out of the Domestic Race by that time. I am positively confident they will take at least one Big team out of competition if they cannot go and actually win it. I would rather face manu(going by their form this season) than Arsenal.

 

[Suneet]

Last season this time Pool were on shit form, so I think we will see how strong our opponents are in Feb.

 

[Alex de Large]

I hope we get Porto!
Right now also we can get Madrid.

 

[darsez]

I hope we draw Porto...but what are the odds

The very same thing happened last season. We had to exorcise the Villareal and Valencia demons, instead we created another.

Again, Liverpool were even more predictable than Manu and we only had to control Gerrard and Torres, but both did manage to score. I don't want to think of any team since I am not confident about beating anyone. If Jose can maintain our recent stability and add a bit more creativity by relieving Zlatan of the burden, then I would feel good about facing any team.

 

[Principe]

I say bring on Liverpool.....I want my revenge

 

[tritolone]

i believe we can beat anyone but barcelona. the easiest is obviously porto, then bayern, liverpool, man utd and the most difficult is barca
