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

The only positive is that winning Serie A would take on even greater importance and make the league more exciting. Part of me wishes that it could go back to being a CHAMPIONS league (including cup winners too) but that wouldn't be fair on teams from hard campaigns.

Also, having the German, Spanish and English champions in the same group is ridiculous. Anyone who triumphs in those three leagues should be automatic top seeds with other spaces then reserved for the holders and teams with superior recent history.

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

Pleased with our performance last night after that highly offensive start defensively. Definitely not convinced that Buttner will be a mainstay. Marking for their 2 goals was just unacceptable at any level. Thought he was very rash defensively against Wigan too but that was overshadowed by his strength going forward. He's certainly talented going forward but is it really too much to ask for a defender to be able to defend? Cant believe we played Carrick at CB again. Surely Fergie and co can tell by now that he's useless at CB. Just play Keane or Wooton.

Hernandez was fucking ON IT last night though. So great to see him playing like that again. I'll sound like a smug prick but fuck it, I said Hernandez was gonna be magical last night inside the first 5 minutes. Smug prick boi. He deserves to start vs Chelsea but that'd mean playing him, Rooney and RVP and that might be too risky. I guess we could move RVP out to the left and play Rooney deeper again with Valencia coming back in. Thought Cleverly was really good again too. That cross was beautiful. Fletcher was very good too. #

Not surprised Chelsea lost. Shakhtar away is probably one of the hardest fixtures in Europe right now. Chelsea are just too open to work against the stronger teams in Europe. Judging from the Highlights it looked like it should have been a repeat of the Madrid match if they finished their chances better. Figuring they need 4 points from Juve away and Shakhtar at Home. Juve dropping points in Denmark might be their saving grace though.

Harsh luck on Celtic losing like that but the highlights were all Barca attacking bar the goal which had a touch of good fortune.

Soldado destroying BATE was :mark:
