Group C is quite interesting... Leverkusen and Monaco are arguably better than Benfica and Zenit yet they are seeded below them.
how is leverkusen better then benfica, if the last encounters benfica always won, plus benfica is higher on clubs rankings ... and u got to know that monaco just got taken by a milionaire, but 2 season ago they were in 2nd division, so the fact that they finished 2nd last season and qualified for CL and bought falcao, moutinho etc, that doesnt mean they are better then zenith, who are a permanent team in CL
Man City at 14/1 look like value....with their squad and money it's only a matter of time.
Everton are great to watch as a neutral when they attack, but they can't defend...
They would never concede 6 goals at home under Moyes.
Martinez has turned them into Wigan!
:laugh:
Problem now is that Chelsea are 2 goals clear at the top of the league, with the most goals scored... will anyone be able to catch them now? :dontknow:
Come on you Spurs!

Well, now that Tottenham are back to reality the league is officially over. :laugh:
I will never understand how Spurs can play exactly the same 11 that won comfortably last week 4-0 and yet still play terrible the next week and lose 3-0.
Always letting me down...
Don't be too downhearted. I'm a Liverpool fan and am a believer in Brendan Rodgers' philosophy of playing football. Poccetino is the same kind of manager IMO - he has a CLEAR vision of how he wants his teams to play - and that is playing high pressure, skillful football.
Just keep believing. It's only been 3 league games. It might take a season or two but if Spurs stick with him you'll be fighting for top 4 with the rest.
i hate benfica btw, but youre wrong again and againLeverkusen just beat Dortmund and the German league is stronger than the Portuguese league.
Monaco have better players currently than Zenit and Monaco are favourites to win the Champions League out of Group C.
Anyway my point was that Group C is interesting because both of the lower seeded teams could also easily finish the highest seeds, as also reflected by the bookmakers odds. Not that I want to argue about it, it just makes for a closer group than the rest, objectively speaking.
But yes, subjectively speaking, I don't really expect someone from Portugal to see it that way, considering Benfica are in the group and Villas-Boas manages Zenit. :laugh:
