Hmm Tiebreak 1 would be head to head = we both would have 3 points Tiebreak 2 Goal difference = if we won 1-0 and then win 1-0 that cancels out Tiebreak 3 Goals scored = obviously equal Tiebreak 4 Away goals = both would have zero away goals Tiebreak 5 goal difference in all games = We are currently +3, they are +1. A 1-0 Liverpool win would put both on +2 Tiebreak 6 goal scored all group matches.......we have 7....they have 8. Am i missing something here? lol I think a 1-0 wins puts them through
Yes. That goal will haunt us. 1-0 loss and we are out because we have scored less goals than Liverpool. 2-1 loss and we are through.
It might have been a team error, but still Rui could have covered it better. This group really is diabolic...
We lose 1-0 or by two goals we are out. We lose by one goal (other than 1-0) or draw or win and we are through.
This is what concerns me. Psychologically Liverpool will go all out to win having nothing to loose while Napoli mentally will tend to play to a draw. Regardless, a win is a must at Anfield as we cannot count on Red Star drawing or beating PSG.
A win is not a must. But realistically if we want to go to quarter finals we have to win. We finish second and we will likely play Barca, Real, Bayern or Manchester City. We can’t play Juve or PSG. The only easy opponent would be Porto. So we would only have a 20% chance of going up.
Di Maria ********ed us. Extra time goal against us and gave a completely unnecessary and crucial goal to Liverpool.
You're too pessismistic. Have some faith. The're show up. CA has to instill the right mentality for the liverpool game. Yes topping the group is crucial as well.
I was sure we would easily beat Liverpool. But now with the Liverpool goal and Red Star goal I feel these guys will feel sorry for themself, like after the Inter Juve game last season when they melted against Fiorentina. I don’t rate Liverpool. Just worried about our guys.
Those two fullbacks are the obvious achilles heel of this lineup. If we don't advance, I'm sure one or the other will be the reason.
Did some quick math In the last game Liverpool - Napoli Red Star - PSG If Napoli lose 1-0 to Liverpool they are out unless PSG loses. If Napoli lose to Liverpool 2-1, 3-2 or 4-3 they go up if PSG beat Belgrade or loses to Belgrade. If PSG draw Belgrade Napoli are out. If Napoli loses 5-4 they go up regardless of the other game’s result. A draw Napoli qualify and a win Napoli will win the group.
So here's the current odds PSG 53% 1st, 26% 2nd = total 79% Napoli 28% 1st, 42% 2nd = total 70% Liverpool 20% 1st, 33% 2nd = total 53%
Thank you. Interesting. Here simplified If we draw or PSG loses, we go up. If we win, then we will win the group. We lose by 2 or 1-0 and PSG does not lose we are out. If we lose 2-1, 3-2, 4-3 we will go up if PSG wins or loses. We are out if they draw. If we lose 5-4 then we go up regardless of the PSG game.
Fck me is this tense. A 3 way draw with lvp and psg would knock us out like it did when we had benitez and got 12 points along with arsenal and bvb.
