Who do you fancy?  (Apart from Mr Torres  )

We're due Inter or Real Madrid but I think Sevilla would be the easiest option! Although they're the most unknown really, more likely to pull off a shock!

I'd fancy Madid! Although they've been winning they haven't looked as good as what they're capable of! Be nice to take AC Milan out of the game this early too though!

I'd fancy Madid!

Whose Madid ?  that your new girlfriend then Joey ? 

as Country rd says we are due Real or Inter but I badly want Real just to prove we are number one! they won 5 or 6 european titles in the 50s beforeShanks arrived!! Bring it on Real you need to be brought down a peg by Europes best!!

That'd be telling Smigg's

Definitley! We haven't played them for ages, we need to stop them getting number 10 and it's definitley put the shits up the rest of them if we knocked them out! If they aren't already karking it now!

I really dont mind to be honest, I would rather have Madrid or either Milans or Barce not bothered at least that will give us a chance in the quarters if we can knock one of those out. I can see it being AC Milan though Ive just got that feeling ya know.

Madrid are nothing special.

Will be nice for Rafa to put one over his old club.

Be nice to take AC Milan out of the game this early too though!

TOO RIGHT! would like nothing more than to take them out first.

Cliche - but you got to beat the best sides.  Just hope we can concentrate on the league from now until our next European clash.

It's vital isn't it? Keep ourselves up there, starting with battering the scum on Sunday!

Teams we can be drawn against:

Real Madrid
AC Milan
Barcelona
Inter Milan
Sevilla

To be quite honest - I have a feeling every single one of those teams would feel uneasy about playing against US.  We have nothing to fear.  We've been to two finals in three years.

Am I right in assuming because we finished second we play the second leg away?  (The way we're playing - even better!)

I think they will all be worried about meeting us now.

To win the best....you have to beat the best.

I would like us to play Real Madrid but I'm not that bothered who we get........bring em on

Book your flights now to Spain or Milan while their cheap.

Ah whoever it is we're gonna knock five shades of red into them!

Bring on anyone, though Madrid would be nice!

Agreed, I think all of those teams will worry about playing us! As long as we stay in the right frame of mind, keep up a good league record and go into the match with some momentum then we should be sweet!

Good call that!

Really not perturbed. We have so many attacking options, we can crush any of these teams. We are that good.

i think we will get madrid but ac milan would be nice to get, for some revenge but the way were playing every other team out there should be running scared

Couldn't really care who we get to be honest. We can beat anyone in Europe. I'm just happy we made a point of scoring 16 goals in three games to get to the knock out stages. Typical Liverpool doing it the hard way.....gave everyone a head start...

Got a funny feeling we might get Real Madrid. At least we know we're all alright for tickets away, with DonRafael on the board.

Hehe pressures on Don!

It's a fantastic set of teams we can get! We're garaunteed a big night in Europe! Love the Champions League!

Don't really mind who we get, we'll stuff the lot of them

My feeling is we'll probably get AC, be good to knock them out at this stage, so we can play someone else in the final, getting bored of them now!!!

   

YNWA

It doesnt matter who we get in the last 16,RAFA  has enough experience to get us through to the last 8 and progress on to the final.The other 15 clubs will fear drawing the REDS rather than us fearing them.This could be another year for old big ears to find its way to the Anfield trophy room.

Teams we can be drawn against:

Real Madrid
AC Milan
Barcelona
Inter Milan
Sevilla

Can we not draw Porto as well.
Your right JD, 1st leg at home 2nd leg away.
When is the draw.
The other teams will fear playing against us, we will not fear them.
Bring it on.

I quite fancy Madrid.  I'm sure Torres would love the chance to play against them.

Another European night to relish at Anfield.  

Another chance to queue at Anfield from 5.00am in the freezing cold for a ticket.

Another chance to convince my wife that I am mad and at my age should know better.

Another chance to show my absolute devotion to this club.

 

I would also like to play Madrid i think we can beat anyone and the gaffer in Europe is the ultimate tactician. i think most of these teams probably Shitting themselves knowing that they might be drawn against us.

I quite fancy Sevilla they are playing well but are they playing as well as us? only one way to be sure, knock em out early!

I quite fancy Sevilla they are playing well but are they playing as well as us? only one way to be sure, knock em out early!

That would probably be the easy draw so most of us will be praying for that game but just imagine playing AC Barca or even Real and knocking them out if the other teams aren't scared they'll be shitting themselves then.

Sevilla love playing at home but don't like the away games like Liverpool do! I rather have AC Milan...revenge is sweet!

Inter milan are currentley unbeaten in their league so I rekon they'll be the biggest problem for us but even so they should be no match for us...

Any of the others will do me fine....

Can we not draw Porto as well.

No, we can't get anyone from our group at this stage mate!

Any of the others will do me fine....

Inter would be one hell of a game, but I've just had a feeling this morning that we'll get Barcelona! I think these feelings are going to be up and down until the draw!

I can see us getting Barca again,would be intersesting to see how we did against Henry hes tormented us plenty in the past,but we should fear nobody you have to play these sides at some point.

When is the draw.

Check the first post Graham   21st Dec

Ideally we want a Spanish team,with Rafas knowledge.However we should fear anyone,as we have proved in europe we are nobody's fools.I think were gonna be the team they all want to avoid.

I'm not to fussed who we get, but i wouldn't mind getting either Real or Inter, Real because Shyster said we play ugly football and it would be good to ram them words down his throat and Inter because they think their something special and it would get us revenge for that UEFA cup tie when they must have paid off the ref! 

Everyone in the draw must be shitting the prospect of drawing us though. We look brill atm and we're only going to get better.

Love to get Real, because Torres will be at the top of his game in both legs, seeing as he played for Atletico. AC Milan would be a good one as well, revenge for the final last year...

We will see what the draw will bring but I would fancy anyone, at minutes we are probably the last team other want to play against. In our last three games we score 16 goals...conceading 1..our confidence is strong. Madrid would be good just for RAFA to have shot at his old club..but whoever..Just Bring it!..Let's focus on the league for the moment though..

I can see us getting Barca again,would be intersesting to see how we did against Henry hes tormented us plenty in the past,but we should fear nobody you have to play these sides at some point.

Bring them on we can handle Barca's style of play down to a tea and the games are always top drawer stuff even more so now they have Henry like you say (2 faced tw*t he is declaring he would sign for us if he left Arsenal) and Ronaldinho always creates a bit of added flavor mixed with Eto agility they will be tough but we're Liverpool and are born to generate fear into any opposition home or away. 

It doesn't matter who we get, all the 16 teams are tough but I hope we get AC Milan as they are struggling in the Seria A while the teams in their earlier round robin were relatively weak. So, it would set up nicely for us to maul them and get our revenge early.

Barcelona's manager has said i didnt  want to get a English team so i would like to get barca. we could get at them in the first half and pile on the pressure. there all top sides but Barcelona will be good.

BUMP !!   

DONT FORGET !!

Draw tomorrow Fri 21/12/2007 on SSN from 10.30am onwards, actual draw at 11.00am.

CHEERS SMIGGER!!

Should be a quiet day tomorrow so I should be able to tune in.

Yeah cheers Smiggs! I'd completely forgot it was tomorrow. Will try tuning in on the wireless at work. 

It doesn't really matter who we get at this stage, all the teams will be tough from now on, but i'd really fancy having Milan or Sevilla. The former, the reason is obvious while the latter is an unknown foe and it'll be easier to take them on, at least for the first leg, but by no means easy and we need to be cautious. The players must rewind back and remember how they escaped from the jaws of death in the round robin and must not give up easily and take on any team as if there is no tommorrrow. 

What about Real Madrid redkop? Wouldn't you fancy them? Been a while since we've played them and it would be quite special for Rafa....

Well on SSN they showed us a rehersal of the draw, and we got Barcelona

any team will do me, i think we can beat anyone on our, we all know that. i fancy madrid, they look hot at the mo, love torres to destroy them. milan for the revenge tho would be sweet!

Interestingly, they had a full rehearsal yesterday of the draw, and we got AC Milan.

Bet they were glad it was only a dress rehearsal as well!!

I'm all starry eyed, i love the draw so much, im sitting here in Kent glued to the t.v and the computer screen, passion running through my body. COME ON THE MIGHTY REDS, i truly believe we will win it this year, i really, really do.

Bring on Milan or Madrid! I bet all the teams are shaking in their boots about the prospect of playing us!

Draw coming soon, we hope...

The Scum have got Lyon

Celtic draw Barcelona.

Good luck boys

It's Inter Milan guys. We've got Inter!

Get in - Inter Milan at home !! 

Arsenal have got AC Milan.

Full draw:

Celtic v Barcelona
Lyon v Man Utd
Schalke v Porto
Liverpool v Inter Milan
AS Roma v Real Madrid
Arsenal v AC Milan
Olympiakos v Chelsea
Fenerbache v Seville

So the british clubs have got some good ties. I'm looking forward to Lyon v Utd, as Lyon will  go into that just about underdogs, though you really can't underestimate them; they've got some great players. Utd will feel a little hard done by as they didn't get Fenerbache or Olympiakos from the unseeded teams, and instead play the French champions.  Arsenal v AC will be a fantastic game, hopefully both sides will be at their best, and give a quality showing. Chelsea obviously have the easiest draw, but that was always likely considering they topped their group.

As for our draw, I'm of mixed opinion. I wouldn't be scared whoever we got, and Inter won't be relishing a clash with us, given our reputation for knocking out anyone and everyone in this competition. They are seven points clear at the top of Serie A over Roma and then Juventus and also unbeaten in 16 games, so they're obviously in form.

Olympiakos will stuff chelski !!

Inters not so bad, i reckon we will sink their ship, if anyone can get me a ticket for that game i would be greatly appreciative 

Come on the reds!

Hope Lyon do the Scum.

Inter - no problem!

Last 8 here we come...

inter! hmm interesting, we can beat them tho, especially at home, 2-0 at home, 1-1 away

Celtic v Barcelona
Lyon v Manchester United
Schalke v Porto
Liverpool v Inter Milan
Roma v Real Madrid
Arsenal v AC Milan
Olympiakos v Chelsea
Fenerbache v Sevilla


First named teams play first leg at home.

Get in, was hoping we got them!! We could have had a much worse draw than this, last eight here we come!

Can't believe I F***ing missed the draw.

Oh well.  At least I'll be going!  Can't wait.

We're going to bend Inter over...

Im being serious here , does anybody reckon they could get me 2 tickets for this game, would love to go with my dad for my 18th birthday!

I feel really confident for this one. we can pull it off.

it will be hard as there top of there league and best defensive and top scorers in there league.
