Barca!!! They will be without Messi!!!

so we would only have henry ronaldinho and eto to deal with?? fu,ck me why didnt you mention this earlier?

[LFC2007]

Although I'm not too bothered, I'd want to avoid Barca if we could. They'd be out for revenge and although stuttering in La Liga, are a different team in Europe (sounds familiar). It'd be very difficult to knock them out in consecutive years I think - unprecedented for a side with such talent, and the pressure is on them to achieve something this year.

I don't really mind who we face, but I'd rather it be someone we haven't faced recently i.e. Schalke, Fenerbahce or Roma. Although it could be to our disadvantage not taking on the 'underdog' mentality against these three, I like seeing us play as many different teams in Europe as possible.

People didn't want Inter but we turned them over without to many problems. People didn't want Chelsea last year or in 05 but we turned them over easily. We're a different side in Europe for whatever reasons, so I personally couldn't give a toss who we get, because our oppoisition will be more fightened of playing us then we should be of playing them.

Shalke would be a great tie, plus we can see that Rafinha guy that we've been linked with.  I also wouldn't mind Arsenal or Man U, I think we can do them over two legs.

So why are so worried about United?

I take back what I said about the final, I would rather turn them over in the semis as I don't want them to get a losers medal, but I want to knock them out.

I want Barca in the quarters, United in the semis and Arsenal in the final. That way there will be no doubt as to the best team in Europe. The hard way baby, the hard way.

We have never been lucky on draws in this cup so my gut feeling is we will get Barca or an English team with the Scums getting Fernabache.

[SouthCoastShankly]

I don't want Barca or an English team . Shalke for preferance then maybe Roma or Porto in the semi's

Agreed. Its foolish to think just cos we are through and are relatively successful in Europe that any opposition is no problem. I seriously don't want to be meeting English opposition at this stage purely because our strengths lie in a European style of football and playing and English team will not be played in a European style, quite the opposite.

i want manure to get the tough opposition , in this case would be barca , arsenal and chelsea play each other , so left 2 from these and i think the two would be chelsea and barcelona , whom meet in the semi's and its left with barca , then we play them in the final and knock them out

[KennyisGod....still]

We have a 'chav magnet' when it comes to the CL, and i see us drawin chelski either next or in the semis. I personally dont want an all english final, too much temptation for idiots tho they wud hav to be real stupid to cause trouble out there!

Schalke or Fenerbahce for me, neither travel too well and Anfield wud scare the runny browns outta them.

[maypaxvobiscum]

liverpool vs shalke
manure vs barcelona
arsenal vs chelsea
roma vs fenerbahce

We beat Chelsea easily, wow you must have been watching different matches to me then, I thought all 4 matches were total nail biters.
I don't mind facing Chelsea again but I really don't like the idea of Man Utd or Arsenal, at the moment they have our number although maybe we could beat them.

[JamCar05]

As I've said in another CL thread, I just want to avoid english opposition for as long as possible (especially the horrible mancs), and preferably let them knock each other out. Rafa really knows how to set up the team for european opponents, so I wouldn't fear any of them (though I would of course rather play Schalke than Barca for example). I'm not saying I fear any of the english teams by the way, just that I would still rather play continental opposition, as it would suit us better.

[Big Niall]

I think we all hope that we are in the same half as Fenerbache,Schalke and Roma - we'd get to final in that half.

Defo want to avoid other English teams as they'd have to be the favourites. If we had to get one I'd chose Chelsea, their style is similar to ours (fairly long ball and physical) and it'd be maybe 50/50, Arsenal are in poor form though, Manure probably have too much for us.

I'm already booked into Moscow
