CL Table and Final 16

It will be interesting to see how the final 2-3 matches pan out but there should be no way we'll concede top place from here with Lille and PSV our last two matches.

Liverpool will enter the last-16 draw as one of the seeded teams and face one of the winning teams that make it through the play-offs. The finishing positions in the table determine the seeding position and each club’s path through the knockout rounds. In theory, the higher a team finishes in the league phase ranking, the less likely they are to face their closest rivals from the league phase.

However, there are no extra benefits when it comes to facing teams coming through the play-off round meaning that Liverpool could be drawn against 15x champions Real Madrid if the La Liga champions fail to finish inside the top eight.

Remember that :
  • A top 16 team can't meet another top 16 team in the playoffs
  • A top 8 team won't face another top 8 team in the RO16
  • A top 4 team will avoid the other top 4 teams until semi-finals
  • The only game where the #1 and the #2 teams could meet is at the final
The draw for the Champions League last-16, as well as the rest of the knockout rounds, takes place on February 21 2025, after the conclusion of the play-off phase.

REMAINING MATCHES
LFC : (H) Lille, (A) PSV
City : (A) Juve, (A) PSG, (H) Brugge
Arsenal : (H) Monaco, (H) Zagreb, (A) Girona
Villa : (A) Monaco, (H) Celtic
Real Madrid : (H) RB Salzburg, (A) Brest,

So clearly Arsenal will make the Top 8. City however have a real fight on their hands ! Highly likely Barca, Bayern, Inter and Leverkusen will also make Top 8 so we'll avoid any chance of meeting them in the Last 16. It is also highly unlikely Real can make Top 8 from here and almost certainly neither Juve nor PSG can. Those 3 could be (dangerous) wild cards for the Last 16.

2024–25 season, the distribution of the prize money is as follows (rough calculation, we are guaranteed at least £38m so far, that's a long way towards buying Zubi or A.N.Other in January, especially if we make the last 8 and another £10.6m) :


Stage + Prize Money

League phase qualification
£15.7m ($20.7m) League-phase draw
£590,000 ($780,000) League-phase win
£1.8m ($2.3m) Top-eight league-phase finish
£1.7m ($2.2m) Ninth to 16th league-phase finish
£0.9m ($1.1m) Round of 16
£9.3m ($12.2m) Quarter-final
£10.6m ($13.9m) Semi-final
£12.7m ($16.7m) Runner-up
£15.6m ($20.6m) Final
£21.1m ($27.8m)

Pre Match - Fulham (H) - Sat 15:00

Not much to say about this - very limited areas i expect us to rotate.

I felt our lack of control today was partly due to missing Macca and so expect the same again. CJ just isn’t a ‘move the ball quickly’ guy. I’d have him at AM and someone else at DM but we know that won’t happen.

Get Diaz central, Gakpo wide and bench the donkey for forseeable.

Oh and i hope we don’t play that inverted bullshit with Trent. It’s shite.

Alisson

Trent
Gomez
Virgil
Robbo

Gravy
Jones
Szobo

Salah
Diaz
Gakpo

MOTM Girona (A) 0-1 - Momo’s POTS awards

That was a tough watch. Pick your top 3.

Alisson
Alexander-Arnold
Gomez
Van Dijk
Robertson
Gravenberch
Szoboszlai
Jones (Elliott)
Salah
Nunez (Gakpo)
Diaz (Endo)

I’ll get off my arse and collate the results for the previous few games this evening.

Ragnar is done

Other midweek Euro games 10th-12th Dec

Atalanta slight favourites to beat Madrid tonight. I think they'll pump them.

Other Games - Dec 7th/8th

There’s no games today which is good because Momo is going out and can’t peruse other forums.

Pre Match - Girona (A) - Tues 5:45

Not early kick off time for midweek

I’m happy today was postponed. Players can rest, less need to rotate for Girona.

We now only have 2 PL games before Christmas which means we can rotate enough with EFL cup to have a good run in late Dec / Jan.

I think we’ll get Ali back on and Jota on bench. Also great chance to get Chiesa earning his wage.

Alisson

Trent
Quansah
Virgil
Robbo

Gravy
Macca
Szobo

Salah
Nunez
Diaz

Fully hope / expect heavy use of subs to get Jota & Chiesa prepped for late Dec. Would love Elliot to start over Szobs but not expecting miracles.

The new CB?

Will we get one probably not, but we can dream of Hughes getting away from the mirror wanking over himself and actually doing his f'ing job
£40m budget, who would you choose?
