Topic: Champions League last 16 draw - Monday 7 November 11:00 GMT

[RedBec1993]

I’d rather face them now than in the final! Need a big first leg!

[missis sumner]

Do away goals still count?

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

are they doing the quarters today?

No, that is after this round. They draw the SFs then too, so you see the road to the final for teams.

[lionel_messias]

Yeah wanting revenge on Madrid is an understandable but also odd take. Even at our best i wouldnt want them, they own this trophy.

Over two legs against us, they own sod all. Bring. Them. The fuck on.

[redk84]

Madrid. Perfect, exactly what I wanted

[AndyMuller]

Beat these and we will win it.

[RedSamba]

First time we'll have faced them at a full Anfield since we twatted them 4-0.

Fuck it. To be the man, you've got to beat the man.

ermmm no, we lost 0-3 the last time they were at a full Anfield

[Crosby Nick]

First time we'll have faced them at a full Anfield since we twatted them 4-0.

Fuck it. To be the man, you've got to beat the man.

Apart from the group stages under Rodgers!

Two stellar ties and the rest all a bit meh. Last 8 will have a few names you don’t normally see at that stage.

And Origi to knock out Spurs for a laugh.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Excellent, this lot are overdue for a visit to the Anfield crowd. The players will be hugely up for it too.

[Sharado]

Beat these and we will win it.

yep.

[Robotforaday]

Fuck it, tough draw, but I'm excited about this.

ahahhahaha sorry yes - first time we've faced these with a decent team, at anfield, with fans, since rafa 

[The Final Third]

yes!!
quite fancy us over 2 legs and they generally get better as the tournament goes on so could be the best time to play them, they wobbled a few times last year in quarters and semi - should have gone out really

[Smudge]

Season over in March. At least it gives us better chance at getting top 4 with no Europe to distract.

[thaddeus]

PSG v Bayern

It's really opening up again for the sides with relatively easy last 16 draws.  The quarter finals will be without two of us, Real, Bayern and PSG.

Napoli are in form but at least four of them, Frankfurt, Brugge, Benfica, Inter, Porto, AC and Spurs will be in the quarter finals.  Of the realistic 3-4 contenders for the pot they'd all very much fancy themselves against any of those sides.

[ScouserAtHeart]

The quarter finals, if we get to it, will have quite a few "easy" teams

[Jshooters]

Season over in March. At least it gives us better chance at getting top 4 with no Europe to distract.

That's the spirit 

[thaddeus]

UEFA inventing the worst way to display eight fixtures.

[liverbloke]

tough game but wow should be a great battle between the teams

let's do this for jurgen - let's get number 7 for him

[killer-heels]

Fucking hell what a shit draw.

[NarutoReds]

Champions League final: Liverpool VS Manchester City.

[Red_Mist]

Season over in March. At least it gives us better chance at getting top 4 with no Europe to distract.

Fishing trip, surely? A fairly poor one.

[Studgotelli]

Ahaha worst draw possible but exciting nonetheless

[clinical]

We really need to sign a midfielder before we play these. They will absolutely dominate our midfield at the minute which is a big worry.

[Elzar]

No idea what we will be playing like when this comes around, so here is hoping. Always fun to play a big team early.

[Mozology]

People wanted Real over Benfica or Porto, yeah right 

[The Final Third]

UEFA inventing the worst way to display eight fixtures.

So true..here's something more intelligible:

[duvva 💅]

Had forgotten this was happening this morning. Just can’t avoid these at the moment. Long way away, but it’s a hell of a tie to look forward to and one we’re due a result in.

[lionel_messias]

We really need to sign a midfielder before we play these. They will absolutely dominate our midfield at the minute which is a big worry.

Valverde would be ideal. Easy. Let's get it done 

[UntouchableLuis]

We really need to sign a midfielder before we play these. They will absolutely dominate our midfield at the minute which is a big worry.

No question for me.

If we are serious about winning this competition we will sort that problem area out in January.

[redalways]

City - lucky fuckers. Think abolition of away goal rule counts against us in this tie.

[Libertine]

We really need to sign a midfielder before we play these. They will absolutely dominate our midfield at the minute which is a big worry.

Melo will be back by then....

[anitrella]

What are the possible dates for the home leg?

[PeterTheRed ...]

Excellent. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich out in the first round. Then we will take care of the smaller clubs ...

[RedBec1993]

No question for me.

If we are serious about winning this competition we will sort that problem area out in January.

Was just thinking about this, surely this will push them towards a midfielder in January?

[lionel_messias]

Melo will be back by then....

He can play with Ben Davies and the Ghost of Ragnar Klavan.

[Crosby Nick]

Champions League final: Liverpool VS Manchester City.

Eurgh!

But yeah, by the time we get to the last 8 there’s only really going to be us (hopefully) or Bayern/PSG that you’d think could stop them.

I didn’t want Real but agree with the shouts that better to play them in the Last 16 than later down in the line. What a boost if we win. If we go out, so be it, hopefully will have domestic cup runs again. Home leg first so have to make that count. Do fear for us a little away from home against them but March is a long way off and hopefully we may have some reinforcements by then.

[Red Beret]

Fucking Madrid. 

[Ultimate Bromance]

Bleh, 2 games against these c*nts. Istg if any of ours start up with that revenge bollocks again...

Hard to react to the draw, got no idea how we'll be playing by the time these games come round.
