That's nuts, I posted a stat yesterday where we had the most shots in the UCL. Conversion rate is piss
Yup. Could be something psychological, so perhaps even fixable.

Maybe importatnt to note that the sample size of 6 games might be small, but I think the stat is still relevant especially because we're scoring a shit load domestically.

Our shot accuracy sucks, otherwise we make enough chances to outscore anyone. We have many off target shots, and when it's in a lot of them are shot directly at the GK. If we manage to fix that our matches would end up more like AS Roma's and Bologna's than Real Madrid matches.

I stay hopeful our players improve on that, but tbh the lack of quality on our squad expose itself on numerous occasions. So without adding more quality to this team I don't get my expectations very high.

We have no chance against any of team that we will face in last 16. Yea, we will put a good fight against them but we wont progress. We are simple not good enough, we somehow managed to beat fkn Shaktar at home wtf we are talking about? We would need massive aquisitions in January transfer market which wont happen with poor commies as our owners. We have solid roster,but only starting eleven, but we lack football intensity that is required to be top tier in this competition. This is not seria A. This is last 16 of best teams in Europe,its just level above it and we should be happy we are there, last season we were last in our group. Those in pot one that we would face are just better teams. We would have chance against some teams in pot 2,but these teams, Lille, Ajax? No way, they are currently stronger than us. In a way how we play now and football intensity we dont have it to beat those teams in two games.

This would be so 2011. After beating Bayern people were worried about the draw and feared we would get Real or Barca. Instead we drew Schalke. Everyone was happy and thought we were already in semi-finals but then we got utterly destroyed. :lol:
That's exactly why I want a Top team in the 1/8, cause Inter despite having quality can flop against smaller clubs and then we become a laughing stock.

So,apparently,we have 18.57% chance to get Liverpool or United,18.53% for City,16.25% Lille and 14.03% Ajax and Bayern.


So Bayern I guess.

Crazy how its literally 6 balls in a bowl picked at random but somehow someone somewhere has made up these values.

We for sure must want Lille, United or Ajax I assume? Probably in that order too.

Personally I'll take anyone and enjoy the journey.

i guess its effectively a reflection of the restrictions (e.g. we cant draw Juve, so what implication does that have for the other options)?

Liverpool, City, Bayer - very bad
United, Lille, Ajax - less bad

So it's 50/50?

I think people are underestimating Lille— they’re a good side.

The reality is that there are no easy games left, just hard games and harder games.

If we drew one of the tougher opponents, I wouldn’t be too upset. At least it’s an honest measuring stick to see where we are.

I definitely want CITY.

If we lose: They are England champions and TOP3 favs to win CL. We tried.
If we win: boost morale, money, dark horse, admiration of everyone.

If we lose against Lillie it's an embarrassment as we still hv a more expensive squad.

It would be unbearable when we inevitably get our asses handed to us by City and have to listen to the media describing the gulf in quality between the English and the Italian champions.

I want United. Lille would be OK too. We would be underdogs against anyone else, and hopefully we won't embarrass ourselves.

Making into the final 16, is a decent accomplishment tbh. Anyone we draw will be a challenge realistically, hoping for victories so Inter advance to the next round. If Inter draw one of the "favorites " play with pride and don't get embarrassed. Inter, IMO, is a couple of fast and technical players away from being a real force in the CL.

I feel people are seriously underrating Real Madrid. They would beat the shit out of anyone else except Bayern. Yeah they do not attack as fancy as Liverpool or City but please look at again their squad. Isco Hazard Asensio Valverde Marcelo or such are on their bench.

If we weren't humiliated by Real, we won't be humiliated by the others either.

I am not proud. Being beaten convincingly =/= humiliation.
