Yeah, I think Dinamo Zagreb had -19Rangers finished on 0 points with a GD of -20 with 2 for and 22 against. Is that the worst ever in the group stage?

I have so much respect for them. In the last few years they really showed what you can achieve with great management and scouting even if you don't have much money.Amazing for Frankfurt to qualify for the knockouts. From unlikely Europa winners to now in the last 16 of the CL.
The true number two in German football in a wayI have so much respect for them. In the last few years they really showed what you can achieve with great management and scouting even if you don't have much money.
And they beat Man city. They and Klopp are game raisersThis isn’t a Liverpool team to be afraid of… you do realise they got beat of forest and Leeds? 2 teams at the bottom of the prem.
To add some nuance to this - by winning the EL, they were automatically placed as the Pot 1 team which meant that the quality of the group would most likely be shit. Their Pot 2 team was the easiest one you could get in Spurs and the other two teams in Pot 3/4 were shit. The group in all honesty was Europa League standard and it's not really a shock to see Frankfurt qualify.Amazing for Frankfurt to qualify for the knockouts.

It’s still a good accomplishment. Brugge qualified too but we can spin that and say Atleti are their poorest version in a decade and the other team that went out are the Leverkusen who are more Spurs than Spurs. It’s still great to see.To add some nuance to this - by winning the EL, they were automatically placed as the Pot 1 team which meant that the quality of the group would most likely be shit.

Liverpool always raise their game in CL.This isn’t a Liverpool team to be afraid of… you do realise they got beat of forest and Leeds? 2 teams at the bottom of the prem.
There was a time when they use to always raise there game. They use to blow teams away in the prem. that isn’t happening anymore. I think Bayern and psg could destroy them.Liverpool always raise their game in CL.
Depends who they getLiverpool can beat anyone they get in the next round. This is what they do. I predict at least a semi final run for them
We have been in another timeline since 2016.watching Choupo-Moting score amazing goals in the CL for Bayern makes you feel like you're a variant in a distorted timeline
That's in February. A long time away.I fully expect Liverpool to get doinked outta the CL unless they get Porto or Benfica (if PSG don't top their group).
Even this depiction doesn't do it justice, given how Frankfurt were group winners when the whistle was blown at their game, but then Spurs scored minutes later at minute 95 in theirs to go top at the last possible instant.Tweet

A little illustration of the rollercoaster ride the live table in group D took last night.
It shows every movement in the table, so it's a good one, but the last panel should probably be 98th minute and not final whistle to make that clear.Even this depiction doesn't do it justice, given how Frankfurt were group winners when the whistle was blown at their game, but then Spurs scored minutes later at minute 95 in theirs to go top at the last possible instant.
Reminds me of when we went from top of the group to bottom the night we went out in 2005.Tweet

Didn’t that happen to us under LVG? I remember we were going through but then the opposition scored late on and the wrong team from the other game scored and we were out.Reminds me of when we went from top of the group to bottom the night we went out in 2005.
And you'll obviously get a favourable draw as usual.That's in February. A long time away.
Hopefully we can get our shit in order by then so any draw is a favourable draw.And you'll obviously get a favourable draw as usual.
Nope, they will win it this year. No decent teams to take them apart and the Napoli game was a one off. They have won all other games in the group. Last season as well, they won all games in the group. Unless the opposition is able to concentrate all 97 mins of the game without making a mistake, Liverpool will punish them, however bad they are. They have a tendency to just score a couple of put the game to bed.Liverpool can beat anyone they get in the next round. This is what they do. I predict at least a semi final run for them
Arm is wide is the explanationI really don’t think that’s a penalty. Not sure I get the handball rule anymore. Smashed from a fecking yard away.
And? He tries to move it away from the ball. No way is it intentional. The whole rule is total bullshit. And the worst thing is the exact same thing can happen in 10 games today and a penalty will be given in about 30% of them. Zero consistency.Arm is wide is the explanation
Get a grip. If that’s a penalty, there’s no point in playing the game anymore.Arm is wide is the explanation
Handballs are never intentional unless you have been bribed to do them intentionally.And? He tries to move it away from the ball. No way is it intentional. The whole rule is total bullshit.

And it stops a shotAnd?
Nah, refer my previous post. Personally i think unintentional handballs should be tied to impact on play. Easiest fix possibleGet a grip. If that’s a penalty, there’s no point in playing the game anymore.
What does this even mean? Having your arm slightly extended from your body as your off balance and then someone smashing it against your elbow from 1 yard as it’s going wide is not a penalty. And if it is by the current rule then the rule is bollocks. As everyone sensible knows.Handballs are never intentional unless you have been bribed to do them intentionally.
Unbelievable.And it stops a shot

For me, the second was more of a penalty than the first
To be clear, I wouldn't have given either penalty if it were up to me, by the current interpretation of the rule both are penalties, and by my own personal opinion of what how the rule should work, the first shouldn't be a penalty, the second is a bit more iffy, depends on the direction of the ball - should to me looked like it was going for a throw in, so no penoUnbelievable.
