I agree that we have the talent; on paper I think we're the better side, and if we played the way we do in the Premiership I wouldn't be worried, but our outlook in Europe is all wrong. Ever since we last reached the semi-finals against Leverkusen in 2002, we've just been far too cautious in Europe, and it hasn't worked; we've never looked like a threat. We struggled past Lille in the previous round, and we've already lost to Celtic and Copenhagen away from home this season. If we don't up it a gear in Europe, there is no way we'll win the Champions' League this season.
Liverpool should get through. Chelsea have a difficult draw, but I just have a feeling that they might win it this year; the Champions League is the big one for them, it's the reason that all the money was spent in the first place.
