      Shame Messi doesn't really understand English, meant he missed Van Dijk talking about the win over Barca right in his face.

      He doesn't understand any whatsoever.

      A non native English speaker once told me bluntly years ago that if you can't speak English, you're "disabled". He must feel like that when he goes to international events such as this, when it's all in English and he has no idea what people are saying.

      Hope for a better performance in Naples. That was our worst display of last season.

      I thought Belgrade was much worse, as the first leg score at home lulled everyone, Jürgen included, into a false sense of security, as I feared, and we got done by half time. Belgrade away is always hostile and intimidating, they give most teams a bloody nose there, as they probably will again this season.

      There was a collective groan when Napoli appeared again, but even though the fixture list is not ideal, getting through the group should be a breeze, if professionalism beats complacency.

      Every game is at the usual time bar the trip to Salzburg, which has the earlier ko. Very surprised that Group E starts on a Tuesday. Groups E-H usually start on Wednesday, so they finish on Wednesday. Ideally, we want to wrap it up before we go to Salzburg, with the World Club Cup just around the corner. So hopefully we can do it the easy way for a change.

      We collected 3 individual awards from UEFA. It's not easy to beat Ronaldo and Messi, but VVD can beat anyone. He's just left two more opponents trailing in his wake.

      Happy with the draw overall. Just hope we play better away at Napoli - that was probably our worst away performance last season especially that second half. We couldn't take the sting out of the game.

      Have to disagree. That Red Star Belgrade away game was the stuff of nightmares.

      It's just a very difficult place to play and it will be again this time around.

      Last season we went there in the week and got the run around for 90 minutes, lost in the last minute then 3 days later we were at home against City and we had nothing to throw at them at Anfield and were lucky to get a point thanks to the Mahrez penalty miss.

      This year its away to Chelsea 3 days later and it's going to be very tough for us to win both. I think we could see a little bit of rotation in the Napoli game actually. From recollection their pitch was huge and it really did sap us. For now priority is the league for me, as theres every chance we can win the group with an away point to Napoli.

      That second half felt like the Sevilla come back second half, literally could not get the ball for 45 mins. My level of respect for Napoli went through the roof after that game.

      I'd rather have Chelsea away than Citeh at home to be honest, plus I don't think we will be as bad this year as last.

      I really think the group worked out well for us. Napoli will be difficult fixtures but if we play close to our ability in this group we should see no problem getting through to the round of 16.

      So straight forward, Us and Napoli going through all day long. Of course i would love us to win the CL again. The PL is the most important one this season.
