      I've conducted the draw already and we get Atletico Madrid, Olympiakos and Rennes. I presume there are no away fans for these, but maybe home fans for some.

      Who do you want?

      Is it me or Pot 3 looks nasty, I would prefer to play none of those teams away! Apart from Krasnodor or Tel Aviv. I think Ajax, Shaktar, even Dortmund in Pot 2 would be more straightforward than Pot 3.

      I say away from home as thats a record we need to improve in the group stage and generally in Europe.

      Fingers crossed we get some teams from countries where fans are actually allowed into games!

      Although, could do with swerving Leipzig if at all possible.  Pretty decent opposition for pot 3.

      It usually is.

      The other fella probably VAR'd it, and convinced himself it's now in the evening after 83 replays.

      I know the knockout stages are about that time but isn’t the group stage draw usually later. I know last year’s was certainly because it coincided with the award ceremony with big Virgil taking away the main prize.

      It's normally on Friday mornings as I recall. But I don't think it's quite the gala affair it normally is.

      But I've had to correct the time which I thought was a UK time but it was U.S. time. To be honest, since I've started working overnights I typically don't even know what day it is, and I can't tell sunset from sunrise, so apologies.

      Probably another casualty of the fixtures being so compressed. Look at the matchday schedules, we play three midweeks in a row, off for an international break, and then do another three consecutive weeks (also why the League Cup dates are all together for the early rounds).

      The European Cup Group Stage draw is a Thursday afternoon event in Europe. With nobody there, hopefully they can just get on with it instead of all the usual time wasting for intros and interviews and presentations and turning a 15 minute draw into an hour long slog.

       :throw:
      Atletico
      Inter
      Gladbach

      Inter (a)
      Atletico (h)
      Gladbach (h)
      Gladbach (a)
      Inter (h)
      Atletico (a)

      LCQ draw: City (a)


      :tv_happy:
      Donetsk
      Olympiakos
      Bruges

      Olympiakos (h)
      Bruges (a)
      Donetsk (a)

      Wonder if English teams will be at a slight disadvantage for this due to the closed door scenario? Near enough the rest of Europe now seem to have fans back in stadiums to some degree but I'm not sure when we'll be at that point, with the October return date now pushed back. I think it's quite possible that we won't see supporters back in stadiums here until the new year, meaning that English clubs would have to play all of their home group matches behind closed doors whereas a lot of European teams will have supporters at theirs. Not that the likes of the Etihad or Stamford Bridge are intimidating atmospheres for European teams to play in like, but I can imagine if we needed a win from our last home group game it would be that extra bit harder without the supporters

      Are any Euro nations currently banning travel from UK?

      Am curious what the opportunity will be for Liverpool supporters to attend away European matches.

      Zero I would think, I imagine away travel wont be allowed, tickets not given to the away team and unlike the players and staff the fans would have to self isolate on return even if allowed

      But I cant see any away travel allowed for some time to come, even domestically when fans are back in stadiums

      Look at the farce they're making of it in the early rounds of the fa cup this weekend as an example

      Think it will be less to do with travel and more to do with the clubs themselves prioritizing their own supporters. I'd say 30-40% is the best capacity we're going to get anywhere around Europe for the next few months at least so unless Uefa say there needs to be away supporters (which would be incredibly careless) then I can't see any for the foreseeable. As a rough guess I'd say maybe quarters / semi finals at the very earliest. Also in the pre-covid world Uefa would get a corporate allocation which was near enough the same as the away allocation, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if corporates were prioritized above away fans once some extra tickets do become available & the capacity percentages increase
