Champions League round of 16 draw 14 December 2015

Apart from Barcelona I fancy our chances with anyone. And yes, I'm not afraid of Real Madrid at all. But it all depends on who we have fit for the game... Coquelin is needed so bad.

I'd be more afraid of Real than Barca, that's for sure. But we'll definitely get Barca. We'll have a good first game at the Emirates, winning 2-0, and then when we go to Tourist Camp we'll have ten starters out injured and lose 4-1.

Written in the stars.

Pessimist Ix is back.

I don't like Real's defense nor their midfield. Sure on paper it's one mean midfield but not on the pitch. Give me Coquelin, Wilshere, Santi and Welbeck back and I'll be very happy to face Real Madrid.

Zenit highest chance to be our opponent. Arsenal will ruin western relation with Russia even more!

JESUS CHRIST

Jack-Ramsey midfield will dominate Barcelona. Rakitic Busquets have nothing on them.

Jesus wont help now. Its time to woop Barca. And get the treble.

Gent v Wolfsburg

Roma v Real Madrid

PSG v Chelsea

Arsenal v Barcelona

Juventus v Bayern

PSV v Atlético

Benfica v Zenit

Dynamo Kyiv v Man. City

No surprises here.

I think we'll get through. Genuinely. Is this not the best squad we've had for years? We just need a little luck.

Some players we have are genuinely good enough to play Barcelona. Cech, Bellerin, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis and Giroud on this form are all good enough to get something out of it. Of course Barca will dominate, of course they will camp in front of our box but win it back, fast couple of passes forward and we have a chance. We're more than capable of hitting them on counters with the likes of Ozil, Bellerin, Theo and Alexis.

I wanted to edit my post idk why it quoted... misclick I guess.

Well at least it'll be an early knockout so we can focus on the League

We were one Bendtner miskick away from beating them a few years back, and they were twice the team they are now (and today we're twice the team we were then). I'm not worried at all, we are the masters of our own fate.

Agree. We're so much better than we were back then. Most importantly in goal keeping-defensive department. And of course our forward line has vastly improved as well.

Got to remember they have arguably the best attacking trio in footballing history now, just saying.

Arguably the best midfield partnership is over (Xavi Iniesta). You might say a trio is more than a duo and it is mathematically but I think no trio will be as influential for Barca as Xavi and Iniesta partnership was.

Iniesta is one of the best ever. But Xavi? Overrated. I'd take Cazorla over Xavi at his peak

Rakitic & Ini with Busquets just behind is still a phenomenal midfield.

A. Phenomenal is a bit over the top. They're good. B. Not even close to Xavi Iniesta Busquets. Plus, don't compare this Iniesta (age) to the one we played against.
