I reckon City can beat Barca and go on to win the entire thing.

Drogba also going to be facing up against his old club  :o

[PowerBug]

I think Olympiacos can get the upset, however they must win their home leg. (1-0 would be ideal)

More ideal than 2-0?

Yep 8) A realistic ideal? is that possible? :P

Schalke :( if they dont get blown away at the Bernabeu they could fluke their way in....

but when your best defender plays their first game of the season on Saturday
his lack of match fitness is going to expose Schalke especially since we dont have the best keeper in the world anymore

I'm down with playing Galatasaray.

The first leg isn't for another 2 months.

[Cicjose]

but even so... if Papdopoulous gets injured again..... he's already missed a large chunk of the season he needs to stay on the park until then so our defence can be improved in the air which is where a lot of the goals against Schalke have come from

[PowerBug]

yeah Schalkes 1-4-5 formation hasn't been ideal so far this season. :P

[Cicjose]

Schalke's 6th in the league despite playing really badly..... 2 points from 5th and 5 from the 4th spot...

How does that formation work? Is there a sweeper and no strikers?

That was 1 defender, 4 midfielders, 5 strikers. A dig at them when they player Chelsea earlier in the year and they got outnumbered 3 to 1 in defence a few times. :P
