    No hideous omissions but there are still some hideous inclusions so plenty of scope to put out a retarded XI, fail to win any of the three games, get raped by Belgium and lose his job to Eddie Howe.

    What dirt does Kyle Walker have on Southgate?

    I think he's one of the best defenders England have. Particularly as one of a 3.

    It's hard to envision anybody scoring past a back three with both Walker AND Maguire in it.

    Wouldn't even matter who the third was.

    If we go into the Euros starting him instead of Arnold-Alexander we will have had a shocker.

    He was on the right of a the three last time so he wouldn't be ahead of Alexander-Arnold if we did the same again, he'd be the guy holding the fort if somebody attacks in behind the wing-back.

    Which was very effective with Trippier and Walker when Walker seemed liable to give a goal away every time he touched the ball.

    Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis, Nielsen's Gracenote: "Porto and Zenit are clearly the teams to draw from pot one as their Euro Club Index rankings put them a good distance behind the other clubs in the highest seeded pot.

    "Ajax are the weakest link of pot two despite their 2019 Champions semi-final appearance. They are not at the level of the elite teams from Spain, England and Germany who make up the majority of the second seeds. Compared to most of the second seeds, Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk would also be a decent draw.

    "Dynamo Kiev and Krasnodar would be the best draws from the third seeds. Higher seeded clubs will be hoping to avoid RB Leipzig, Internationale and Atalanta.

    "Borussia Monchengladbach are clearly the strongest team in the bottom group of seeds. Both Istanbul Basaksehir and Ferencvaros are a good deal weaker than the remainder of the clubs seeded in the final draw pot."
    Thank goodness Simon Gleave is here with his sports-analytical expertise.

    No we won't. It's a massively important commercial and corporate eyeball gatherer, they need to drag it out as long as possible.

    How come Man Utd could only get PSG when the other ball to come was Man City who got drawn in with Porto? How does that make sense?

    They are TV-paired with Liverpool so can't play in the same half as them.

    Man Utd’s group looks to be the only decent one so far. If Chelsea get that Hungarian team they’ve somehow gotten an easier group than last year. Probably the easiest in existence

    Yeah, what sort of shite is that.

    Do Ajax even have any players left? Not like away games at that sort of place means much with no fans in the ground.

    TV companies don't want the two most famous teams from countries playing at the same time so as to maximise viewership and the value of the rights. It's been a thing for 10+ years (I'm a saddo draw hawk).

    Our group is a proper lolfest. Looks like something from the Europa League 16/17 season.

    More than half of the Klaksvík squad work either full-time or part-time. Andreasen has just finished his apprenticeship as an electrician, Jacobsen works in a fishing factory, and there are students, carpenters, painters and accountants. In order to enable everyone to train, the coaches set the training sessions for 5pm local time.

    I believe it's also a legal/IP thing where they have to have a load of palaver around it so that it's "unique" and therefore copyrightable (likewise the reason they have the CL anthem etc.).

    Dundalk aren’t far removed from similar days jobs themselves.

    KÍ doing Dinamo Tbilisi 6-1 in the last round was a bit of an eye opener. An Irish club wouldn’t score 6 in a European tie in a million years.

    Here we go. Dundalk had absolutely shat themselves since the second goal and fully deserved to concede that.

    Wilson never looked up to it, even from the walk up.

    A shame, but the team selection suggests Klopp probably isn't all too gutted to be going out.

    They should just allow teams to go straight to penalties without playing a match in these dead rubber cup games. Neither team wanted to be there

    The real takeaway is just how useless Salah looked outside of the system. I probs will retire my Liverpool support when Klopp leaves.

    That was such a terrible game.

    What happened to Shaqiri? Is he injured again? Shame the Greek was injured. Too many square pegs in round holes.

    Salah is always 100% dire in games he ought not be playing in. I guess he must want to do it, but you'd have thought someone behind the scenes would have clocked it by now.

    Meelan currently getting beat by Rio Ave. They probably didn't bother paying off the ref for that one either. Some sweaty foreheads at UEFA as the calls frantically go in for a late couple of penalties.

    A move away is imminent. They didn't play him just in case of injury.

    The penalty shoot-out was incredible. The spot in bits, the rain thrashing down, both keepers skying thier efforts.
