OK thanks, I'm surprised that Russia is the sixth strongest league. And I would say most of the sides in pot 2 are better than them, not sure what the coefficients would show but that would be my guess.Originally posted by labourRed View PostPot one: champions from each of the "top-six" leagues; England, Italy, Spain, Germany, France and Russia. And the winners from the Champions League and Europa League.
Then you're into coefficients which is why Real are the top of pot 2.
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

I thought Pochettino making a big point of the entire squad being photographed pre match was a a sign of weakness. Because he was an unused sub once apparently and missed out on that photo.
Seemed a weird thing to make a point out of to me, and to me just anything abnormal should be avoided pre match.That said after walking on hot coals and snapping arrows it probably seemed normal.
Certainly didn’t aid them to a quick start. 22 seconds later pen conceded.
Modifying post.

Same I was quite reassured by that.Originally posted by Chris View PostKinda did feel like they were just happy to be there. I liked our it’s just another game approach, treating it no different than if we were playing Atletico away in a group game.
Obviously using the experiences of what might not of worked last year.
I just read an interview with Sturridge saying the squad held a players only meeting, talking about scenarios. “What do we do if we go one up early” “what do we do if we are chasing the game with 20 to go” etc. He said it was great and that the squad have never had this kind of chat before.
Also Milner apparently gave a rousing pre match pep talk.Modifying post.
