Benfica is the english teams killer.

Man U and Arsenal once again have easy groups.
Still Man U last year had an easy group, but look at what happened?
Liverpool's group is pretty tough. PSV are a young and energetic team with plenty of Champions League experience already. Bourdeaux is an unknown entity and of course, if you talk about Galatasaray and their home ground, you're talking about going to "hell".
But Chelsea shall bless their luck actually. Cause after the group stages, they can't meet Barcelona after the final. I pray that Chelsea kanna knock out during group stage. -
agreed with you , having an easy group doesn't means auto qualifying and big teams can't simply takes things for grantedOriginally posted by CoolMyth:Man U and Arsenal once again have easy groups.

don't think chelsea will kana knock out so early lah .. whoever lift the championship cup also never mind , except chelsea -- team that trying to use $$ to win things -
I will say Barcelona and Werder Bremen will qualify from Group A.
-
Liverpool's draw can also be called the group of death..
-
Wow ! Group of Death ? Not so serious la ...... actually our style mould to play against Bordeaux and PSV , except Galatasaray .Originally posted by Agenda:Liverpool's draw can also be called the group of death..Orginally posted by Patrik:
Unless Werder Bremen has got 11 Wonder Women .
I will say Barcelona and Werder Bremen will qualify from Group A.

Later tonight we will read what Benitez has to say and our inspirational skipper Gerrard has to say .

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry says he was happy with today's Champions League draw.
The Reds were placed in Group C along with PSV Eindhoven, Bordeaux and Galatasaray.
Bordeaux's Vladimir Smicer will be given a chance to play at Anfield again but it will be the return to Istanbul that will tingle the most.
Parry said: "We have fond memories of trips to Istanbul and of course we have been to Galatasaray not too long ago.
"PSV and Bordeaux are a little bit of an unknown for us, but it's okay.
"Celtic would have been fine. There is no such thing as a favourable draw, none of the groups is that easy.
"Turkey is a long way but we've avoided the eastern European trips so it's okay.
"It was a little tense at times but it's fantastic to be here, we were happy whoever we drew." -
Don't play play , Rick Parry expect us Liverpool to win this group .
His comments like this is an easy group sia .
-

TUE OCT 31: Liverpool v Bordeaux.
Sat 18 Nov: Boro vs Liverpool
WED NOV 22: Liverpool v PSV Eindhoven.
Sat 2 Dec: Wigan vs Liverpool
The way I compared the EPL fixtures vs the CL fixtures, Liverpool would need to secure win in the first 3 matches.
No guarantee that the team will gel this season.
Hope to see Ah Ben figure out his formation for the sat early match against West Ham since his wall is cracked now.
TUE DEC 5: Galatasaray v Liverpool -
Reds boss Rafa Benitez says it would be "dangerous" to assume that the Champions League draw was kind to us yesterday.
Liverpool were drawn with Bordeaux, PSV and Galatasaray and while it could have been much worse, Rafa says we mustn't disrespect the opposition.
He said: "On paper, maybe this group does not look as hard as some others, but it would be very dangerous for us to think that way.
"Remember Benfica. I remember people said it was a good draw, but it turned out to be the most difficult for us.
"PSV Eindhoven are a very good team, and Bordeaux had a fantastic season in France.
"Galatasaray are known to have one of the best atmospheres in Europe and it is always a difficult place to go.
"We must treat every team with respect."
Well said ! Rafa !
