Eddie seem to underestimate anything outside the EPL duh .. Bordeaux is pretty good and Blanc is an excellent manager the only problem weakness is Gourcuff . it's not the problem that teams can mark him (he pass the ball quickly to allow such thing to happen ) the problem is if he is missing through injuries or suspension ..
it's too damn early to speculate the semi's , KO rounds end of Feb and return leg early March .
Seen so many impressive group games teams & performance and they crash out early , a lot can happen between now & Feb i'll wait for now

Well said Beast, the CL only really gets going in the new year when the knockouts start. Obviously there's room for shocks before then but it really is a case of "you can't win the CL in November but you can certainly lose it".

I like Bayern, had a great time there last season when I visited München for the quarter final match, friendly fans and a great stadium.

friendly fans , great stadium but arrogant management .
Hoeness has to be the worst man in European football i put him up there with Perez & Silvio

So a draw or a defeat would see Liverpool joining Bayern Munich to Europa League unless somehow Fiorentina manage to screw their chances @ home tonight

Nope, if the Viola lose to Lyon then Liverpool could still finish second if they beat Fiorentina by 3 goals at Anfield.

They need to win the 3 games to qualify any drop means Fiorentina & Lyon qualify ..
Lyon 9 PTS, + 6 GD
Fiorentina 6, +2 GD
Liverpool 3 , -2

Fiorentina will play tonight @ home which means a guaranteed 9 points and a higher goal difference (Debrecen conceded with an average of 3 goals per game )
Liverpool need to score 4 at least to equalize with Fiorentina on goal difference providing the Viola's stop winning and scoring .
I don't see Liverpool getting 9 possible points of the remaining 3 games .. i know will have them fully focused on the CL after they lost all hope in the League but 2 of the 3 games are tricky and they are damn inconsistent so it's a do or die tonight

Not if Lyon beat Fiorentina. Assuming that both Fiorentina and Liverpool beat Debrecen then that would make it 9pts v 6pts going into the final game if Liverpool lose tonight and the Italians lose at home to Lyon at the end of the month. The first determining factor when sides tie on points is the aggregate result between the two teams and given that Pool lose 2-0 in Firenze that would mean they need a 3 goal win at Anfield.
