Topic: Champions League Group Stage Draw - 25/08/2022 5pm ish.

[Studgotelli]

In our current state that’s a tough group but should have enough to get through…

[Snail]

Some brilliant away days for all clubs and their fans coming to Anfield.

Oh aye yeah, I'm sure the Rangers fans will be no trouble at all in town

[JRed]

What a group! Yes we could complain that Abu Dhabi have somehow,  yet again got the easy group and we’ve been relatively shafted yet again. But this is what European football is all about. Big European nights and every one of them games will be just that.

[The Final Third]

Favorable draw for us from Pots 1 and 3 with Pot 4 not so much but should be a decent atmosphere at Anfield and Ibrox. A very navigable Group overall. Some stellar matchups elsewhere along with the usual fix for Oil City.

[rocco]

Happy with that

Who did Man Utd get?

Who

[classycarra]

Oh aye yeah, I'm sure the Rangers fans will be no trouble at all in town

They'll bring loads of scrotes, but it'll be Napoli's incel scum (and their blades and belt buckles) that should concern authorities most

[Captain Gerrard8]

Tough draw. We must win our home games at least.

Tottenham's group look like a an Europa League group

[Black Bull Nova]

That should be fun when they try it in Glasgow

[kennedy81]

Rangers haven't played at Anfield since 1924 apparently.

[Garnier]

Group is decent, i'll take that.

Napoli are rather annoying and ideally we'd be in a group without them, but it could've been a LOT worse.

Ajax and Rangers ties are mouth watering

[UntouchableLuis]

When do the dates come out for the matches?

[Andypandimonium]

No problem, their views haven't changed a jot in the intervening 98 years.

[Kopenhagen]

Should be finishing top. Not disappointed with it. Napoli will be annoying.

[damomad]

Tough draw. We must win our home games at least.

If we win our home games we'll go through for sure, it's the sort of tight group that 8 points could get you through.

[Statto Red]

We've only played a Scottish club once before in the European Cup/Champions League, Aberdeen in 80-81, & what happened afterwards.

[The Final Third]

Rangers haven't played at Anfield since 1924 apparently.

We've never played them competitively.

[Johnny Foreigner]

the billy boys probably feel they play ajax at home and at home

[Lycan]

Who says they'll trash the place ?They'll be coming down for a good time. How many thousands they bring is anyone's guess.

I'll start the ball rolling and say 10k minimum.

Because they're known for it. Thats why.

We made Ferguson so mad he came down to manchester to knock us off our perch? Don't think that is very likely this time around.

[Nyx]

Should be some decent games with that group.

[Garnier]

Someone said Ben Davies might finally get a competitive start at Anfield

[Indomitable_Carp]

Tough draw. Should be some exciting games though. All three of those teams will be well up for it. Three tough aways. I can´t believe we have never played Rangers in a competitive game of football.

[I've been a good boy]

I don't understand how people were supporting Rangers where Stevie was there. Their fans tarnish any reputation they have. Same with Rafa at Newcastle and Everton. Simply cannot cheer them on just because of one man.

Hope we fucking smash Napoli, we seem to get them every other year it's ridiculous.

Ajax will be a great game, two proper European giants.

[Fromola]

The three away games will be tough. Bad record at Napoli (we never score there), Ajax away the toughest game on paper and Rangers will be a real frenzied atmosphere and can turn into another Red Star away game if we aren't up for it.

We should be winning the 3 home games though and that makes it a lot easier if we do, you can afford a slip up or two away.

There's a fair few flags dotted around town that'll hurt their feelings.

[redgriffin73]

When do the dates come out for the matches?

According to 5 Live any time between Friday evening and 11am on Saturday.

[disgraced cake]

Three home wins and another in Scotland should do the trick. It's a group you'd want to be topping.

[Indomitable_Carp]

There's a fair few flags dotted around town that'll hurt their feelings.

Just ferry them up past the Loyalist pubs on Everton Brow and I´m sure they´ll feel right at home. Sadly.

[So… Howard Philips]

They had a fine old time when they played a European tie against Shelbourne at Tranmere 20 years or so ago.

Hope they bring a large contingent of Glasgow coppers down with them.

Jürgen Klopp looks forward to the challenge of Liverpool’s ‘proper football group’ in this season’s Champions League.

Speaking exclusively to Liverpoolfc.com shortly after the draw, the boss said: "The first thing to say is this is a proper, proper challenge.

"All of the clubs have quality, they all have pedigree and I would say they all have a chance. The good thing is that we do also, so it makes sense for us to look forward to the challenge and give it a try.

"We did not ask for any favours and we have not been given any but this is not a competition where you can look for easy ways through because the standard is always unbelievably high.

"The difference this year is that the group stage will be shorter than usual, so we will have to be ready not just for the quality of the opposition but also for the different demands and rhythms."

He continued: "We will not have to look too hard to find information about our opponents, though.

"It was only a couple of years back that we played two really tough matches against Ajax and we get drawn against Napoli pretty regularly, so we know quite a bit about both of them and they know quite a bit about us. I know there will also be some new lessons to be learned, though. There always are.

"Rangers are a new opponent for us but we know them, too. Their story over the last few years has been really interesting and they did really, really well to qualify for the group stage, given the teams they were up against in the qualifying matches.

"We also know a couple of their players well. Ryan Kent has had a great development since moving to Scotland and Ben Davies is just starting out on his journey with Rangers, so it will be good to come up against them.

"The only certainty right now is that all of the six games will be incredibly competitive and really intense. I’m excited about it. It is a proper football group and, like I said, a proper challenge."

[whtwht]

Anyone who thinks we will stroll this is in for a rude awakening.
 Reckon we still go through.

Bet you were absolutely petrified of last years draw. 

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

Actually would love to see Kent play. Always thought he could have been useful for us.

[DangerScouse]

With a bit of luck we have Napoli away last and will have already qualified at that point.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Abu Dhabi are paying for their groups, and nothing will convince me otherwise at this point.

How warm are the balls mate?

[Crosby Nick]

How warm are the balls mate?

He’s in Ireland so probably not too clammy.

[OOS]

There's a fair few flags dotted around town that'll hurt their feelings.

I'm sure a fair few will feel very welcome on Everton Road.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Nice to be so highly thought of on the biggest Sevco forum isn't it?
