I don't like the draw against Atletico Madrid. They're probably the most defensive side in Europe; kings of smash and grab!
What are your thoughts, Reds?

they have conceded more goals than normal, a tough but winnable game imo.

It was the team I wanted to avoid.

Would probably prefer a team that was a bit more open and willing to come on to us to leave some nice spaces, still, football is about adapting to different challenges and adapting your game to suit. Sure to be a very tough test.

Still a very good team but going through a bit of a reshuffe no doubt. Most of their famous defence has gone, as well as Griezmann and Rodri, a lot of new younger players bedding in. I expect us to win though it will not be easy, but that's the Champions League for you!

If i’m honest i wanted to avoid Juventus and Spurs the most, the thought of a Mourinho knee slide in front of the kop is horrifying. Expecting Madrid to batter City, that will be a really good watch.

They are the team I most wanted to avoid, however we can beat anyone at the minute and I'm confident of us progressing!

{Ed025's Note - im sure they will have wanted to avoid liverpool Bmena, they should be worried about you not the other way round mate..

It might surprise you, but to win the Champions League you have to play against really good teams. Now is no better or worse a time than any.

Also, we've been in two CL finals in a row. Think we might have a case for being better than them.

Exactly Ed025! Although I wanted Real, I'm happy with Atletico. Returning to the scene of Number 6 aside, I don't think we have to fear any team in the CL - we are the Champions!

{Ed025's Note - i could not agree more fornax..

Have to agree 25! No one would fancy taking us on atm. your boys actually put in a shift for big Dunc, do you reckon he will stay?

{Ed025's Note - i think he will stay Bmena but not as the manager, i would personally give it to him until the new year and see how it goes, but i suspect the hierarchy at the club want a big name mate..

Yeha I think the reason I wanted to avoid them the most is becasue do their terrible tactics to park it and waste tiem from diets minuite both matches will be a terrible watch. And that’s what you should be excited for in Europe a good game, but this tie won’t it will be them with double deckers out, and Oblack taking five mins a goal kick.

I'm okay with Atletico. Our best preparation is to gradually get better and better opposition until we peak at the right time - the semi and the final. Just like last year.

I am pleased that we have avouded Barcelona.
Revengio Avengio as a well known Everton tube once said .
Thats Porky parry for those of you that don't know.
I am pretty confident about Athletico.

Look like Ancelotti, blues must be happy with that. Duncan staying on too.

@langland. I don't think we could have drawn Barcelona. We were both seeded.

I’m pretty sure Athletico wanted to avoid Liverpool more than we wanted to avoid them.
