Decent draw for us. Annoyed we get a repeat, but we should top the group.
A, B, D, and F sure look tasty. Spurs got a tough draw, but I fancy the English teams to go through. City get a P!ss easy draw every year. Shakhtar 3 years on the bounce?

I'd like us to dispatch them more convincingly this time.

We can't really complain about the draw. Got a decent draw, maybe Napoli can test us but I think we will still top the group.

We should top the list, it's well within our reach We tend to lose against the teams we expect to beat, like Red Star Belgrade, then we beat a team like PSG convincingly at Anfield, so who knows ! Its an easier group than last year when there were 3 decent teams in it - us, Napoli & PSG, hopefully Klopp can sort out the away performances, 3 losses could have cost us last season.

Red Star is a tough away. Notoriously bad pitch and crazy fans. Spartak was a similar story. Lille and Salzburg will be much tamer, methinks.
