I'm interested to see how much rotation Chelsea has considering they qualified already. Good opportunity to start some players that don't normally start.

 

[Halladay]

Need a draw against Ajax to qualify.

 

[hatterson]

United qualify with a draw or would virtually guarantee with a Leipzig loss.

There are whispers that Adrian is playing today for Liverpool. Stay Tuned.

No idea what kind of lineup is coming. Annoyed they didn’t try against Atalanta because that would have given Klopp two midweek games off. Looks worse after (arguably) getting robbed of two points last weekend. Hoping for Fabinho at RB honestly.

Borussia fans went outside Inter's hotel and shot off fire works last night!

 

[Savant]

To clarify:

Group A - Atlético need a win to guarantee R16

Group B - both Madrid and Monchengladbach make R16 with a win. Monchengladbach clinch top seed with Win and Madrid loss. If not, seeding goes to MW6

Group C - Porto clinch runner up spot with a Win, Draw OR Olympiakos dropping points. City clinch 1st with a point or more.

Group D - Liverpool clinch R16 with a win. Top seed TBA

Group E - Chelsea and Sevilla are through. Top seed still open

Group F - If either Dortmund or Lazio win they clinch R16. If Club Brugge lose, both clinch.

Group G - Barcelona and Juve are through. Barca clinches top seed with a win.

Group H - Man Utd clinches R16 with a win. Seeding up for grabs.

apologies if mistakes.

Billy Gilmour is back tomorrow. I doubt he starts but hopefully he comes on as a sub and gets some time.

Not even necessary when you have Conte coaching.

 

[Savant]

So Adrian is not starting...but neither is Alisson. Come on down Caoimhin Kelleher.

Another game with two keepers on the bench I see. I can't believe our squad is this injured. I count 9 who can't play. Alisson, VVD, TAA, Milner, Thiago, Shaqiri, Keita, Ox, Gomez.

I also count at least 6 of whom could be argued as best XI players, 5 for sure. Quite depleted. Liverpool will be in a good spot if they can somehow manage to string some results together over the next little while being this injured.

I hope he does well/impresses and we don't have to see Adrian again.

You would think that after shitting the bed on the weekend Madrid would find a more inspired performance than they’ve had in this first half.

 

[Savi]

Varane

 

[Evilo]

If Donetsk win (very very likely) and Gladbach wins (likely), Real is out, right?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Feel bad for Adrian. Pressure situation for a young kid with zero PL experience, we'll see how he does.

 

[Savi]

Group G - Barcelona and Juve are through. Barca clinches top seed with a win.

Not yet they don't

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Varane

I think Mendy deserves more blame. But Varane hasn’t been the same since I drafted him.

The injuries are a contender by themselves in the premier league.

i mean they only need one point out of there next two games.

so it’s not like this a do or die situation for Liverpool

 

[Evilo]

With Real. Because he was amazing with France just two weeks ago.

 

[koyvoo]

What’s the first tiebreaker, head to head or goal differential?

If it’s head to head Madrid would be out, goal difference they’d still have a shot.
