If Ribery has a good game they'll have a chance. If not, they won't.
Champions League Round of 16 (12th Feb - 13th Mar)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yeah, let's hope Liverpool's Starting XI remains in top form for the rest of the PL, while City gives it all in the UCL.
And nothing nasty of course, just muscular injuries here and there.
Liverpool are going out tonight. No way will UEFA allow four English teams in the QF with three of them going through at the expense of German teams.
If Ribery has a good game they'll have a chance. If not, they won't.
Really want Bayern to knock them out.
None of this having more games to Traveller the league campaign nonsense. We've seen a few times in the past how they can gain momentum and end up in the final. We got away with it through Real Madrid last year, there's no guarantees this year, so safer they get out now.

Please just start already. I'm bored of waiting... Although if it's anything like last week, the wait might be better than the game.
I'm going 1-1 for us, and 3-1 for Barcelona.

Save the conspiracy talk for the actual draw
Surely Dembele might consider joining his French buddies here given he seems to not be playing games of this magnitude?
So happy knowing Harry is not afraid.
Expected scenario: Barça 3-1 Lyon
Disaster scenario: Barça 1-1 Lyon
See you in a couple of hours.

Not conspiracy, just a wishful thinkingI hope Lewa twists and turns VVD so much, he (VVD) doesn't get back to his usuall form until 2020.
He's been injured, that's why he isn't starting
Goals in the final round of the Champions League
[62] CRISTIANO RONALDO
[40] Messi
[21] Thomas Müller
[19] Lewandowski
[18] Raúl - Shevchenko
[17] Benzema
[16] Inzaghi - Robben
[15] Lampard
[14] Drogba - Rooney
The problem at Bayern is that they have the decisive players - but of Lewy's 9 goals out of open play for Bayern (8 for BVB, 2 Bayern goals were penalties) he did 8 with Müller as hanging striker. Robben, who is absent today, did all but one since 2011 with Müller as hanging striker. Müller has most of his as hanging striker, 3 or 4 as centre forward, 2 or 3 from the right
Bayern has difficulties against good defenses when they play with 3 midfielders - usually the other teams always parked the bus. The goals have to come from all but the offensive players. I hope on set-pieces today, an Alaba strike from far or Ribery, who is always good for something in the Allianz Arena.
I think Barca will dispatch of Lyon quite easily.
I did have a dream 2 nights ago that it ended 1-1 with a fekir goals but I doubt that.

Good thing Bayern have improved under Kovac, if this was a month or so ago, I didn't give them a chance.
Henderson and Milner moreso. Gini and Fabinho have been our best midfielders this season but whenever you partner gini with these two it all goes downhill. They have a terrible record away from home together
Imagine getting a chance to be a mascot and you get the referee.
Can someone please explain, why does one team always wear jackets/tracksuit tops for national anthem/CL anthem
I’ve always wondered.
I’ve always wondered.
"VVD is widely regarded to be the best CB in the world" said unknown commentator.
When did that happen?
When did that happen?
Need to respect the anthem man.
Can see Liverpool struggling.
That is a desperate midfield......

Klopp seemed irritated during his pre match interview. Probably hates being back at Bayern that much. Wonder if it will be a factor.
Wasn't this Liverpool midfield trio the one with which they lost all away games in the group?
Got a feeling Bayern will win this, which normally I'd be thrilled with but if Liverpool only have the league to focus on, even they can't bodge that up.
What the feck is this camera angle?!
No chance of pens boss man. There's no way this is going either 90 or 120mins goalless
Yeah but why does one team always wear the jackets, not both?
It's been Klopp's go-to in big games. Used it in our wins against PSG & Napoli & they did well in the away game versus City this season (even though we lost).
I don't think it's as bad as people are making out.
He pretty much hates grass and wind. So don't think that'll be a factor
You’re probably right mate - it’s wishful thinking, I want Liverpool to be knackered for Spurs.
Edit: Damn it, forgot it was FA Cup weekend
Kovac looks like Littlefinger.
Haha Henderson deserves that karma for what he did to Rashford.
If they lose, what kind of excuses he will come up with, not counting the usuall ones.
Followed by an international breakEdit: Damn it, forgot it was FA Cup weekend
I guess he doesn’t have too much else in there but there is not much creativity.
Has probably been an issue for the last few weeks at least, relying on the front 3 for inspiration
If we thought he ran funny before...
