No one is saying it will be a walk in the park for us. Ofcourse it will be a tough game. But fact that we have played 180minutes of football against them gives some sense of familiarity and should help our inexperienced lads.
Fact we beat them at Wembley in August is a huge boost for us. It means zero when the game kicks off. But back of the mind, we know we can compete. In these games, belief is as much important as form & fitness & tactics
What makes you say it’s rigged?
The only rigged draw I’ve seen recently is the current Carabao Cup quarter final draw and that’s an English competition!

I fancy Liverpool over Porto, and Shakhtar over Roma. Real vs PSG could go either way.

Sure, so that explains why PSG/Real or Barca/Chelsea will be going out in the next round then.

It's not much of a marker, but those Juve fans saying it's 'easy' must have forgotten how genuinely easy it was for Spurs to open them up in pre-season. True for them it might be easier, but not easy. I only know one Juve fan and this morning (for me) he was saying how he did not want Spurs at all, remembering what happened in the summer. He said Porto would be easiest for Spurs.
Sevilla and Porto aren’t walkovers. It’s knockout time so these sides will start playing smarter. If you play smart against Liverpool, you will often win.

I like our draw.
Very good opponents, great quality and reputation, will help us to raise our game which is just what we need because at our best we can beat them.

They're a big fish in their pond. Juve fans are like United fans here, or Real fans in Spain. Used to continued success (whether by fair means or foul), and helluva arrogant.

First leg away from home will be on the 13th, 14th, 20th or 21st of February. The second leg at Wembley will be on the 6th, 7th, 13th or 14th of March.

Not top of the league at the moment. That must be confusing for some of them!

Our game against goons is currently set for 10th Feb so hopefully our game isn't on the 13th or 14th.

You did but you also made reference to how easy it was to play against them so...

We obviously won’t be the favourites but we’re better when we’re not. Let people write us off just like they did when the groups were drawn. We’ve got a very decent chance but if I had to put my house on it I’d say Juve will be going through. Not a huge amount in it, though. And as others have said we could have Wanyama and Tobi back, plus a fully fit Rose and Lamela.
