Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Note in OP 28/8

DDC1990

Good chance to qualify and a top game against Real.

Happy with that.

K-9

Basle and Ludo, what can possibly go wrong?

NukaCola

Very nice.

One top team, one good team and one very beatable team. We should be qualifying from a group like that truth be told.

Not bad, not bad at all

dilallio

Ludogorets - Is that where Harry Potter gets his magic wands???

Speak Now

So us or Basel for the second spot you'd imagine.

Nerdlingr

Perfect draw. Got the biggest glamour tie and two boys we should beat. Brilliant draw for us.

SlickRic

perfect.

rob316

Should really be getting out of that group the best pot 2 pick we could of hoped for.

kevohmsford

Happy with that draw. Real Madrid at Anfield will be great.

Utopia Parkway

Have to be happy with that group. One glamour team and two very beatable teams. Could have been far far tougher.

joe123

Delighted with that.

Real Madrid - Big gun but lets see what we are made of.
Basel - Tough but we should have enough for them.
Ludogrets - Done and dusted (I hope!)

john why

Brilliant brilliant draw, over the moon with that

I think Basel knocked out Ludogorets in last years qualifying rounds!

Tipsy McSwagger

Slattsy

Never heard of them!
But happy with that Group.

Back to work i go.

thecretinhop

Great draw, old man don't drop ball on floor !

DrumSteve

Basel will be a tough game, they are no slouches, Ludogrets get their day out and Real, I can't wait for that game.

They will cause havoc with our defence, but we might get something out of it.

Vicxas

Decent group. Very decent.

Ganymede Glow

tok9

I think we can all be happy with that group. Gives us a great chance of progressing.

Lord Trollington

Excellent draw. Basel and Ludo won't take any points of Real. Ludo really shouldn't pick up any points.

Will come to us and Basel for 2nd spot

Sideshow Mark

Brilliant draw, best of both worlds.

Speak Now

Dont forget Basel beat Chelsea home and away last season lads, dangerous team for us but a decent group considering what could have been on offer.

Iused2likebusts

As 3rd seeds that is some draw a glamour tie with real and a great chance to qualify.

Augmerson

Confident of progressing, at the very least we should get 2nd in this group. We're much better than Basel and Ludogorets Razgrad. As long as we don't muck it up and end up with a draw away from home at either side I am confident we will win in Anfield and progress.

Real will be tough, I am less confident of getting any points in Madrid but a draw/win is possible at home.

**** YES, CHAMPO LEAGUE!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Knex*

City... Fucking hell!

Glad we're not them! :pac:

Zapp Brannigan

No horrible away trips in terms of travel either.

Our year.

Talisman

Xherdan Shaqiri used to play for FC Basel - it can't be a coincidence.

Nerdlingr

Ouch, group of death for City!!!

Francie Barrett

Lovely group for City. Let's hope that have to play full strength teams for all 6 qualifiers.

smileyj1987

I couldn't be happier with that a great chance to get into the knock out stages !!!!

daithijjj

Got a result there...

Ste-

very happy with that draw.

djPSB

Win the two Ludo games and beat Basel at home will give us a good chance of getting out.

Nerdlingr

Yes!! I'm off to the three home games as well. Nice.

finno

Hopefully a repeat of this

tok9

The prodigal son is returning!

8-10

when are the dates out?

Watching bits from the last time we played Real, like the above link, and here, Torres really was incredible.

****it, i'd still have him back now on the right contract as 3rd choice.

Torres then and Torres now are worlds apart.

You're right though, he was incredible.

I know it was done this morning, but why? Sentimental reasons?

ShamoBuc

Super draw for us. Not sure it could have went better.
If we don't get out of it it would be a real downer!

Utopia Parkway

Liverpool have played Madrid 3 times in Europe. Won all 3 and haven't conceded a goal yet.

I like them odds!

PropJoe10

@empireofthekop: Ludogorets were founded in 2001, just 3 years before Chelsea.

Augmerson

I reckon Brendan will dip a toe into the transfer market again before it closes after seeing that group. A DM wouldn't go astray but seeing as Gerrard will be shoehorned into that position I think it'll be up top.

Yes, partly, but also in the hope that a different club with a more attacking approach might suit him better. The Torres of old is gone, that extra edge of pace, but it's not like he forgot how to play football. I mean, in the month before he joined Chelsea he scored 5 - the change was practically overnight. That points to psychological issues more than anything. (Yes in the period before that month, under Hodgson, be looked poor, which was also a very similar system to what Chelsea have played with...Kenny came in, we went back to attacking, he started scoring again)

If we could somehow get him on a free, and say 60k per week, i'd love it. I'm sure he'd want more considering the insane contract he's on though.

Planning a trip to Basle. My mate lives there and can get tickets
