Yeah if Hoffenheim were better at taking their chances this could be 3-3.

Henderson looks off the pace and out of place.
Oh dear god, what is Lallana doing with his hair and beard.
Tottenham and Liverpool both in pot 3, could get some whopper groups. Thankfully everyone in pot 4 is dog turd with the possible exception of Sporting and Stasi Leipzig.
That was enjoyable. Bring on crashing out to Basel in November. Should be plenty of goals in our group matches anyway.
I love Firmino more than any Liverpool player since Alonso, I think.
This season's going to be agony.
Firmino was ridiculous tonight.
Good to see a pretty dominating win over a reasonably good European team.
Hopefully that odd release clause that was mooted by the Panama Papers isn't real.
Our seasons lads
Isn't it always?
Until next month, heck yes
Just watching the Liverpool highlights.
Whilst they are clearly nice going forwards, their style of defending was an absolute bomb scare. If they play like that against someone like Madrid they'll lose about 10-3.
I am basing this on only having watched them once, however.
They could finish 2nd, 40 points behind United.
I warn the Liverpool fans against the idea of 'shoring up'. We did that after a couple of exciting years and now I'm not even sure what we do well.
The individual errors never go away so just go with it.
Defending is for losers (well, winners but meh). Fuck that and embrace the madness.
When they had SAS, they were great going forward, but conceded 50 league goals that one season which cost them the league and saurez tears.
That should probably just read "when they had Saurez(sic)" but wasn't it technically SASAS?
United have a load of rubbish (in theory) until they play Liverpool, so I bet the tactics board is already up with eight defenders on it.
South Yorkshire Police.
Ah shit yeah.
We're bound to draw Barcelona.
The way the Champion's seeding things works now it's almost worse to win your league. There's more crap in pot 1 than pot 2.
Madrid, PSG, Liverpool and Sporting/RBL is probably as tough as it can get.
We will undoubtedly get Barcelona and Liepzig though just for the grudge matches.
1/4 of the Premier League will be playing in the Champions League this season. Weird.
Draws is taking place now on uefa.com.
Chelsea get Atletico.
United get Benfica.
I'd take group G right now.
How do I have Sky Sports but not Eurosport? Other than die-hard sumo fans, who would specifically ask for it in their 'bundle'?
Porto (first out of pot 2) weren't allowed to be drawn in Group A (ok, Benfica), B, C or D...
This is proper Eurovision stuff.
I apparently have it. Who's the absolute babe in the black dress?
Liverpool about to get fisted by this draw. Only 2/5 remaining options are good.
It's not very streamlined is it.
I was certain Liverpool would be in with Barcelona and Juventus there.
Another opportunity for Alberto Moreno's sabotage defense at Sevilla.
Tottenham got our bullet there.
We could even make it out of that group.
These groups seem a lot more stacked than in previous years to me.
lol at Tottenham. At least they might pack Wembley out a couple of times.
I honestly don't think we have a better chance of getting out of a Sevilla/Moscow group than a Real/Dortmund group, so I'm all for the latter and the *big nights*
Lol, Chelsea and Tottenham getting absolutely shafted.
You going to any Spurs games @mokbull?
That Group G is horrendous.
