Be good to avoid a trip to somewhere like Kiev i guess. Am hoping for Celtic and will do my damndest to go the game if it happens plus i've got a feeling this will be the year Rafa finally meets Valencia.

Agree with most of that....

I'll always be a little worried against some teams though.... notably the pacey ones like Sevilla as I feel that if we have a weakness, it's against teams who attack with pace down the wings.

Would also avoid the Russian teams too... not for fear of losing but because it can feck up our league form with all the travelling we'd need to do. Drawing the Scottish teams would do nicely for me.

I think Stuttgart from Pot 3 would be worse than CSKA Moscow

would like to have an easy group for once..so that we can really concentrate on the premier league...     

So this is the group I would like to see

Liverpool FC     
Benfica - no simao...they will be there for the takings..
FC Steaua Bucuresti   
Rosenborg

But...going with what has happen in recent years...manure will likely get this group...

VfB Stuttgart

Stuttgart will be tough of course.

But I'd prefer LFC to avoid a Moscow trip from Pot III

I'd like to avoid the Scottish teams, because drawing LFC will be like Christmas to them.


That being said, I'd like it if Celtic and Rangers drew each other.

Scottish teams are both poor, so either would be ideal for us when you factor in the short distance to travel

Id take

PSV
Marseille
Rangers

Easy peesy, lemon squeezy

THE TEAMS WE CAN FACE IN TODAY'S DRAW

Liverpool will discover their opponents in the group stages of the Champions League when the draw takes place in Monaco this evening. 
The Reds - who qualified after an aggregate victory over Toulouse - are one of eight seeded teams in the competition and so will avoid being drawn with another of Europe's elite clubs.
 
The competing teams will be split into eight groups of four, with no two teams from the same country being grouped together.
 
The draw is scheduled to get underway at 5pm tonight, so stay tuned to liverpoolfc.tv for first news and the best possible reaction.

UEFA Champions League draw groups

Pot 1

AC Milan
Barcelona

Inter Milan
Arsenal
Real Madrid
