Looks like the best players they have picked up are Nordveit, Schultz, and Gnabry on loan.

All we need is a home leg at Anfield.

Yeah, but still not the easiest draw... I still like our chances

As long as they actively try to score goals (play football as Jurgen would say), I feel great.

I actually think they are the toughest draw we could have gotten.

They will be familiar with Klopps style.
They competed well in one of the big four or so leagues.

Now, they did lose a few guys, but have some new ones in. We'll see how they gel vs. how our team is coming together.

I still think we take it - and likely with a couple of goal advantage, but there is plenty of potential to stub our toe here.

I felt like Nice was the worst draw but Hoffenheim isn't chopped liver. Regardless, we're a better side and will be the favorites to advance

Yeah Nice and Hoffenheim were clearly the two toughest... But maybe that works in our favor because if we'd drawn Istanbul or FCSB they may have just bunkered in against us.


Also, new pitch looking amazing:

Could we have drawn Napoli? they would have been very tough..

Nice had the Balotelli factor written all over it..

Napoli wasn't possible.

Nice would have been tough - but I think German my had a better league Hoff is a tougher match up.

Hoff did not lose at home in the league last year.

I think Hoffenheim was definitely the toughest opponent to draw, but they play exciting football. Like many have said, if we can't beat them, we don't deserve to be in it. And a huge European night at Anfield for the return match so early in the season. Consider me absolutely stoked

Agreed... Maybe Firmino has a little extra fire going up against his old club

I actually like the draw and think we'll easily clear the playoffs 3-1 on aggregate. Y'all see Chelsea is trying to cash in on VVD now that it's pretty much clear he won't be playing with Southampton next year. I know we're trying to do this under the table but we can not lose to Chelsea when it comes to this guy. I don't think we will but damn that would be a shot to the balls

Makes retaining Coutinho that much more important. And sign Keita or Gorezka. Do it.

I guess that settles it. Time to pay £150m for Pulisic.
