Easiest Draw Shakhtar or Schalke Olympiakos or Basel Austria Vienna or Viktoria Plzen worst draw PSG or Juve (ugh) Dortmund Napoli
PSG/Juve/City/Dortmund/Napoli screwing it all up! Since Uefa hates us we will have PSG/Jueve Dortmund/City Napoli I'm hoping for Shaktar (much weaker now that they sold 3 of their best players) Basel Austria Vienna Plzen are actually a decent side. Lots of tough teams but if you want to be the best got to beat the best.
Agree. Marseille would be fine with me in "easiest draw." Wonder if we can dodge all those "worst draw" teams. We'll see in a matter of hours/
Really? I dunno about Schalke but you're going to rate Shakhtar below the likes of CSKA Moscow, Marseille and Atletico?
they did lose some of their better players and while Athletico may be missing Courtious they still could easily give us some serious problems. CSKA and Marseille would not be the end of the world and while Shalke have some talented players they just inched into qualification.
Lots of good teams in pots 2 and 3. Napoli in pot 4 is really the key to the group of death in this draw.
I am assuming we would say no. I do not think the UEFA Super Cup was that big of a deal last season, but the CL...
