buster. 5,199 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Looking at last season, Ajax won all six of their group games !!! If my arithmetic is correct, we have won 12 in total. Or 1 from every 5 games played in CL group stages, (10). The 12 are.... 8 home wins Brugge, Grasshoppers, PSV, Sturm Graz, Porto, Stuttgart (x2), Bursapor. 4 away wins CSKA Moscow*, Monaco, PSV, Lyon. *Neutral venue Takeaway from that is it shows how difficult it is to beat the top side in a CL group. Only Monaco (from win list) being arguably considered the best side in the group. ie. Don't put your mortgage on us to beat Liverpool. Gio as a manager with Feyenoord won 1 from 6 group games. At home in the last fixture against Napoli. Edited August 29, 2022 by buster. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds to win group (b365) Liverpool, 2/7 Napoli & Ajax, 13/2 Rangers, 14/1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger_syntax 4,330 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 This group will be difficult. Despite that I think people are over-rating Napoli and Ajax. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 850 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Fantastic draw - Id have preferred Liverpool at Ibrox first. If we can get something from the first two games then its game on v them. But its all about just being in the draw this season - its massive and was a must. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 yeah the set up of the games is very poor for us. could be worse but you want the weakest team back to back in the middle and a dad rubber at the end. At least our last game which could be vital is at home. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
