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

fucking hell, that was an awful way to end the half. Anzhi played like shite, we still conceed. Jones didn't need to be that far out and Coates has no clue. Fuck, off to bed b/c its nearly 5am and that was a dire first half. I'm going to fall asleep on my chair if i stay :eek:

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

Dont think it will be an easy game tomorrow, but that doesnt really matter as qualification is already sorted, put out a reserve team.

Galatasaray fans will make the atmosphere very hostile, so it would be a good test for some of the youngsters, but i reckon fergie will put out a fairly strong team,

edit: the travelling team has been announced

Sam Johnstone, Anders Lindegaard; Rafael, Alexander Buttner, Phil Jones, Tom Thorpe, Marnick Vermijl, Scott Wootton; Michael Carrick, Davide Petrucci, Larnell Cole, Tom Cleverley, Darren Fletcher, Anderson, Nick Powell, Ashley Young, Ryan Tunnicliffe; Javier Hernandez, Joshua King, Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda.

Michael Carrick. First name on the team sheet for EVERYTHING. Maybe he'll get injured or suspended for the knockout stages. I'd prefer to see Cleverly/Anderson given a shot together against QPR on Saturday than this match. Hope Powell, Vermijl, Wooton and Jones play and Welbeck and Young can use it to regain some of their form.

Young form :lol good stuff, all he does when he's in any sort of form is cross a little better.

So cleverley and ando tomorrow and then carrick and scholes vs qpr? sounds about right. I'll take a draw vs gala right now and we'll concede 2 or 3.

Pirlo to put in a Ballon D'or winning performance tomorrow or else Juve are out. They're not a one man team but I think they need him at his genius best to get through this group now. Most excited I've been for a Juve game for a long ass time.

True but I expect them to break the rut in Turin. The midfield battle should be immense.

Juventus most likely need to win both their remaining games or they'll have to rely on goal difference. The onus will be on them to attack the game.

Galatasaray fans at the airport. Fucking numpties.
IT'S AN AIRPORT. A FUCKING AIRPORT.
If Luiz and Torres do not play, I think we'll get a result here. If one or both play, then we're out.

Oscar is 21.
You can get a result with Torres wandering about. Luiz will lose you the game though. Even if he doesn't play there's a good chance Mikel loses you the game. Even if everyone plays well there's a good chance Juve will just be too good for you. I'm excited for it. That and Madrid/City the day after. Should be great.

It is really an interesting group. It is hard to predict who will go through. I think Shaktar will go through and either Juve or Chelsea will go through. Tommorow's game is the deciding game imo.

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread

Hopefully Shaktar mess up against the other team because I would rather see Juve and Chelsea progress as they're both awesome teams to watch. Plus I want Roberto to keep his job, he's an absolute class act.

If Pirlo is so great why was he completely ineffective when marked by a 19 year old :bosscar1

Attacking, hes great, but his defensive ability is off the charts. Hes the kind of player you can build a team around. I just hope he puts on another clinic tomorrow
