Since Liverpool are starting their Europa League campaign tonight, may as well start this thread now.

This will be rodgers first season in Europe, so I expect he'll look to have a solid competition. I reckon AVB will take this competition more seriously than Redknapp and Newcastle will want to do well for sure. Hopefully these three teams will do well and help England's co-efficient points.

As for the CL, we're retaining it :jordan2

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

I'd feel bad for Celtic, but I'm too pissed off with my team. What a heartless performance from Chelsea. If Torres starts on Sunday, I will be starting a Di Matteo Out movement on Twitter or something.

Who else is gonna though? Sturridge dont make me laugh :pique2. Face it unless he gets injured your stuck with him. Which is a shame since Sturridge would be a much better choice. He at least deserves a shot.

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

The only reason we won was because of one man: Chicharito, who was absolutely sensational tonight. Definitely deserves a start against Chelsea on Sunday and he has a good record of scoring against them. Please Ferguson, don't pick Welbeck and play him on the left.

Funny hearing the crowd groan a lot at Nani. The guy had a chance to prove something tonight and blew it. He better start regaining that form from two seasons ago.

First half was poor, which is the usual United standards these days, which needs sorting out as if it keeps happening, eventually, it will backfire on us. The defending needs to improve drastically. When Smalling is back the better (Jones has a little while to go still).

Rafael was our best defender again, although Evans and Carrick were better in the second half. Buttner also did a good job second half. Fletcher was alright, Cleverley was solid, Kagawa had a good 10-15 minute spell and then went off with a knock/injury. Nani was infuriating to watch, Rooney and Van Persie were great but Man of the Match goes to Hernandez. Brilliant performance.

We looked much better once the formation changed and we got rid of the diamond formation, which never worked and shouldn't really be used at home. Anyway, glad we got the 3 points. Now onto Chelsea and Stamford Bridge.

Lee Dixon keeps pronouncing Chicharito's name as Chick-a-rito. Someone design a smiley of a chick in a mexican hat please.

Unless Nani does another turn around he is gone in Jan or the summer.

Also wtf has happened to our home form since the 19th winning season. I know we're winning but last season wasn't great at home either.

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

It would be harsh on hernandez if he doesnt start on sunday, but i dont really want to see this diamond formation again. Cleverley probably deserves to start as well, thought he played well. I really hope Kagawa can be played in his actual position soon

Can't believe the spoilt brat Chelsea fans. You got your 50 million pound new toy :)torres) now you want someone else. It's like getting a PS1 and then wanting an N64 half a year later because the PS1 doesn't cut it anymore.
ps1 doesnt have goldeneye, legend of zelda ocarina of time and mario party :terry1

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

They way things are going, Italy are certain to drop to 6th in the UEFA Co-efficient thingy, and then if one of Russia or Ukraine can get a good run going, it's entrely possible that in a couple of years, Italy will have only 1 guaranteed spot in the Champions League group stages. That would be depressing as hell to see a CL group stage with only 1 team from Serie A. But the way things are going, it's entirely possible.

Wasn't surprised with Chelsea losing to Shakhtar(they are a great team) but I am really surprised that Juventus didn't win. Their opponent isn't that good so I expected them to win. It will be hard for them to qualify now. I doubt Milan will be able to well in CL, they are in horrible form. So with the way things are going right now Italy could drop down further in the ranking. It doesn't look good for Italy at all.

Not surprised with United winning after losing 2-0. They are very good in comebacks. It is unbelievable tbh.
I am a little bit surprised that Barcelona struggled against Celtic, thought they were going to destroy them.

Yeah and that would be horrible. I really hope Juve and Milan can do well in CL this year.
