Champions League 22/23 - Round of 16: AC Milan

[Mcfee]

That’s a good draw! L’pool v Real and PSG v Bayern eliminates 2 big hitters. If we get past Milan then there’ll be a few others in that last 8 we shouldn’t fear. The elephant in the room is Emirates Marketing Project… we could end up playing them 4 times before the season is finished.

12 years later and we are back to Milan in the round of 16. Get Crouchey on and Lennon running down the right.

or even 6 games v them with FA Cup/league Cup draws possible

With Real Madrid in the Last 8, so no Crouchie getting sent off and Gomes fumble in the 2nd leg

Preferable to Perisic in the middle and Emerson running down the right...

Have an Italian mate who is a massive AC Milan fan and takes every opportunity to give me stick. We'd better beat them or I'll have to fudge my phone in the river.

I would quite like to watch that

You and many other posters here...

Unless you're applying a different meaning to the verb "f**k" in which case, I'd be a bit worried for you.

 

[braineclipse]

Definitely happy with that. Won't be easy and we should be under no illusions that it will be, but could have been significantly harder.

Hopefully when the games roll around we'll be back to our best.

Liverpool aren't a big hitter this season. But it'll be lovely for them to be dumped out at the quarter final stage to curtail the fawning

They’ve dropped fairly significantly no doubt but I think they’ll be much improved once Diaz and Jota are available and I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat Real. Likewise hopefully we’ll look like a different team by then also.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Pleased with that draw, glamorous tie and one that we should have a decent chance of going through in (if we play to our ability).

 

[SpurMeUp]

And our Italian connections can't hurt - we'll know our opposition well. The game is an age away isn't it? We could be playing a lot better by then too...

 

[johnola]

PSG v Bayern Munich?
Real Madrid v Liverpool?

We need an enquiry? Someone’s messed up.

Plus after the January window

Half-time show:

I said a few pages ago that we've met expectations so that its a free hit from here

Therefore nice to get a big name, even if they're not where they once were, and have a couple big games.

No pressure to win; no shame if we lose. Only upside

You got one of those brown iphones?

My balls are warm just reading that.

Exactly, if you have two warm balls in your draws you really should try and keep them well separated.

But we lose the vast majority of games vs them. 1 win in last 20 games. So for us they're a big hitter, and someone we'd rather not play if we want to progress further in the competition.
