Can see Tottenham winning today, but then going out in the return leg. The rest is pretty much already decided, instead.
I think United have a slightly better chance against Barcelona than Spurs have against City, both are quite low though.Can see Tottenham winning today, but then going out in the return leg. The rest is pretty much already decided, instead.
It's weird cos I feel the opposite. Quarter finals and we're still here!It feels very wrong not to be in this.
Let's hope things will go back to normal next season! ^^It's weird cos I feel the opposite. Quarter finals and we're still here!
Yeah, I feel for Porto tonight. Liverpool are going to run riot, winning the game by an unearthly margin.Porto will miss Pepe and Hector Herrera tonight. I've not seen them play this season but those are key players, aren't they? Alex Telles is still doubtful as well. Liverpool is missing Robertson and probably Alexander-Arnold.
Not raising my hopes for Spurs to get something against City.
Juve’s physical preparation has been a disaster, unreal number of injuries.Chiellini is probably going to miss the first game in Amsterdam and Ronaldo still not certain. Emre Can, Douglass are injured as well. I predict a very though evening for Juventus against Ajax. They can't rely on there impenetrable against Ziyech, Tadic and Neres.
Don't think Mazraoui is that much better than Veltman. If anything Veltman is more solid defensively.I'd be real tempted to bet on Ajax against Juve if their RB wasn't out.
I get the feeling our players enjoy being the underdog. They will raise their game and surprise everyone.fecking hell, still frustrates me we've drawn Barca. We would've had a better chance against literally every other team. I was hoping City or Pool would knock them out.
CL games are not as taxing as EL. And they have more depth than last season to cope.I want Liverpool in this for as long as possible, Klopp will bottle any final.
They’ll walk the league if they’re knocked out of Europe and have nothing else to focus on.
Ever since Pepe joined their defense, Militão moved to RB, and they started defending alot worse.Porto will miss Pepe and Hector Herrera tonight.

Haven't checked them out in CL, but watched some Portuguese league matches, and they were pretty good. Not a proper test, but I still doubt those 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7-0 scores people have been posting.Are Porto really that bad? No chance of an upset? They must have improved a little since last year. Each tie has a clear favourite but I'm thinking a surprise might happen. City have been playing below their level now for what seems like a fair few games (and still winning to their massive credit). Spurs will be fresher and the new stadium effect might help.
Fair enough. I think United can beat this Barca side. They are not that great, but when you have Messi everything can happen in just 1 second.I think United have a slightly better chance against Barcelona than Spurs have against City, both are quite low though.
Ajax and Porto have very little chance.
If it came to Juve v City and Barca v Liverpool semifinals there would literally be no favourites though.
At the bar?Think we're going to beat Barca tonight.
Tbh, there's plenty solid replacements for Mazraoui in the rear at the moment. Veltman scored against Willem II last weekend and will probably be playing. As long as he doesn't make a bad blind pass backwards as he did at times, it'll be fine. I'd say Veltman is a better defender than Mazraoui anyway (Mazraoui is more of a midfield winger with somewhat poor defense positioning).I'd be real tempted to bet on Ajax against Juve if their RB wasn't out.
^ That. Veltman will always be negatively remembered for that arsehole moment pointing at an Ajax player being injured, suggesting he'd kick the ball out of bounds, then waiting for the defender to look around and then make his move.Don't think Mazraoui is that much better than Veltman. If anything Veltman is more solid defensively.
He's also the biggest cnut in world football.
You're not the only Feyenoord or PSV fan that feels this way. Though I heard similar things around the Ajax comeback against Schalke '04 and against Lyon.Doubt I've ever been more in favor of Ajax winning a tie. Well, The Madrid one comes close.
That’s what I thought too but it should have already happened by now yet they keep on winning.This on paper. However, football, eh? On paper there are also always surprises. So if there would be one surprise in the quarter finals, which team would it be? I sort of fancy Porto, realistically or not, on the premise that Klopp teams tend to run out of steam end of season combined with the energy spent on the PL title run.
Cheers for that.Ever since Pepe joined their defense, Militão moved to RB, and they started defending alot worse.
So Militão will play as a CB which is an improvement.
The bad side is their RB alternatives are all shite.
And all four teams were the underdog in the last round and came through as winners. There's hope for us yet.Porto, Spurs and us winning would be just perfect. Ajax too. All the favorites defeated. If only.
You sound confident.Cheers for that.
Looking forward to check Militão out tonight, but it doesn't bode well for whoever is up against Mane.
Militão might play right back if Telles is out with Maxi Pereira playing on the left. Definitely the wrong game to have important defenders out, don't think Porto have much of a chance.Cheers for that.

I know you're just trying to jinx it or whatever but at Anfield, we haven't lost in Europe under Klopp at all and I don't see how one of the weakest teams left in the competition will suddenly turn us over. Of course every game needs to be played and I'm not saying it will be easy but it's not that I'm overly confident or anything, just realistic - we should be comfortably one, if not two tiers above them.You sound confident.
I don't blame you, Liverpool will be unstoppable tonight.
Absolutely. Or any other way these 4 teams could have played against each other.Liverpool vs Barcelona
City vs Juventus
Yes I’m a bundle of fecking sunshine
Doubt we beat them tonight, mainly as we play tomorrowI get the feeling our players enjoy being the underdog. They will raise their game and surprise everyone.
Think we're going to beat Barca tonight.
I'm with you, they definitely have a chance. I'm actually going to watch it over the Liverpool game as it's almost definitely going to be a more interesting match.I really fancy Spurs to beat Little City tonight.
Every game is a final for city at the minute and I can see Spurs having one of them games they have had in the CL in recent years where’s they step it up a level.
At 3-1 odds I’m going to put my money where my mouth is aswell..

Whether that will reflect the gameplay and the eventual scoreline is another matter of course; I'd be happy enough with a 2-0 win or something like that, as I don't expect a 5-0 or 6-0 thrashing like I've seen some on here predict.
We don't have the required cheese rooms and climbing walls in order to host one.All he needs is a final to be played at Anfield.
