Champions League 2017/18

[frank the tank]

if we can't beat the Hoffs, then we don't deserve to be in the CL......

[Paddy]

Away leg first which is a bonus

Hoffenheim only lost 4 league games last season.

Do they park the bus?

[S-RED]

They were seeded.

Ah ok, well then ****, thats a ****ter then

[The_weatherman]

They have that super young manager don't they? 29 year old or something like that?

[Gingawaria]

are they the toughest though, didn't want Napoli TBH

Napoli were one of the seeded teams.

Hoffenheim or Nice were the worst case scenario.

Kind of glad we didn't get Nice - didn't want to come up against a motivated Balotelli with a point to prove.

That's the long and short of it.

[RedReet]

Wee Bobby will destroy his old team.

Their league starts later than ours so hopefully they are a bit behind in their training. As far as Bayern will do.

Thankfully we have Coutinho, Salah and Mane all on form and finding partnerships.

They'll be a tough side to break down though and have a decent attack.

[mellor]

They lost Sule so that's a bonus.

[labourRed]

They are a pretty new entity as well. Have they been in the CL before? They escaped relegation the season before last so while they had a good season last year they're not a consistently good team like a Dortmund for example.

They lost Sule so that's a bonus.

Good point.

Counters are a worry but we don't play with strikers are carry an aerial threat so we should suit them.

[Norbs]

They lost Sule so that's a bonus.

Sule's good man
