Not sure who id want now with the sradium announcement. Glamour tie v a tie against the most beatable team?

Ive decided.....Ajax would be a great game with the second leg at HOME!

I’d go with a ‘smaller’ team and a win in the quarters and then that would give us a SEMI FINAL as well in the new stadium.

I hoping for a non English/Spanish oppo.

We will now have 4 games in 10 days before the 2nd leg:
City a
Palace/Brighton h
West Ham h
2nd leg

On the plus side if it’s palace 1st game we get a free week before 1st leg.

Ignore 30th is semi 1st leg.

Not an English team although it would be nice if two of them got drawn together.

Just happy that we get back home and have a proper atmosphere away from the dump.

I really think if we get the home leg first now, I don’t care who we draw, I fancy us to tear into anyone at NWHL...

I want us to get Ajax or Porto. I want Man C and Liverpool to be drawn together again, with the winner going out in the semi-final. I'd hate to get any English club.

Ill be honest, I think we are so much better when we have a number of games in short spaces of time, momentum works well for us.
It takes a while to hit our stride so having those number of games allow us to continue where we left off seamlessly

I also want to avoid the prem teams but I’d take any of them over Barca. Barca I just can’t see us doing over 2 legs

City have no CL pedigree. I know we don’t either but at least we’re on a level playing field with them in that sense. If anything the fact it’s expected of them but yet they always bottle it, whereas we’re the plucky underdog which tends to perform well in the CL, could give us a little psychological edge over them.

As has been said a million times. We want Porto then Ajax but we honestly shouldn’t brick it facing anyone.

Avoiding City is my preference, big time.

And Pep has huge CL knockout experience.

I think we can beat Barca over 2 legs tbh, the only team I worry about is Atletico or Juve.

Im not scared of Atletico. I think that would be a 50/50 tie (maybe 60/40 them) but we would be written off by a lot of people which suits us.

Didn’t Dortmund destroy them at home this season? I know this is KO stage but still.

Yeah group stage matches are rarely indicative of knock out matches, different pressures, different mentalities etc..

Dunno style wise, they're just a horrible match up for us, sit behind the ball and frustrate us, Barca will give us chances and open games where teams let us play suits us.

Don't want an English team. Just want the home leg to be first. I might not be able to go to a 2nd leg match at home :unsure:
