You look at that and think "Yeah, we could do alright in this" and then you remember that the teams that finished 3rd in their groups in the Champions League drop down in to the knock out stages and makes it a lot more difficult.

Yepp. Then you look at the CL Dropouts for the group stage, which includes the likes of Napoli, Shakhtar Donetskh, Juventus, Benfica and the ever tricky Basel this year, and you just have to laugh :lol:

But why not.
 
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE RULE CHANGE
Q: What are the Champions League rule changes?
A: From 2015-16, the Europa League winners and the Champions League winners will both qualify for the following season's Champions League.

1: Will the maximum number of clubs from the top nations such as England in the Champions League remain at four clubs?
A: No, there will be a maximum of five clubs but only under special circumstances.

2: When can a country have five clubs in the Champions League?
A: Only when a club wins the Champions League or Europa League but finishes outside the top four in the domestic league. That happened last season when Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League but took the Champions League spot from Tottenham who finished fourth, because they were European champions.

3: Will a country be able to have six clubs if both Champions League and Europa League winners come from the same nation and both finish outside of the top four?
A: No - five is the maximum. In that unlikely scenario, the European trophy winners would qualify plus the top three.

4: If the Champions League or Europa League winners finish inside the top four of their domestic league, will that allow the runners-up to qualify?
A: No, only the winners.

5: Will the Europa League winners go straight into the group phase of the Champions League?
A: That has still to be confirmed but it appears that will usually be the case.

6: If the Champions League or Europa League winners also qualify via their domestic league, will that allow the fifth-placed club in the league to take the 'spare' qualification place?
A: No, in that scenario there would still only be four clubs qualifying.

if 4th have to go through a qualification phase, why should the europa league winners go straight to groups? (if they decide on that). i feel a bit iffy about the EL winners getting CL btw, anyone can fluke a cup i.e. draw every game and win them on away goals/pens.

but the fact that a team can drop out of the CL, win the EL and then consequently qualify for next season's CL is just plain stupid and degrading to EL.
 

I envisage this happening next season.Everton team to to play Uzbekistan Ramblers 8000kms away on a Thurs night. Robles
Browing-Alcarez-Distin-Garbutt
Gibson- Osman
McGeady- Naismith
Kone Traore

Back to Anfield for the derby on Sunday afternoon
Howard
Coleman- Stones-Jags-Baines
Barry-McCarthy
Mirallas- Barkley Tadic
+ Some ace Spanish Kid
that scores 59 goals in first
37 league games but Roberto
drops him for last game because
he can't have him beating Dixie's record.

We can do this
 
Hope we field the kids in every game and give this 'competition' the 'respect' it deserves. Martinez wants shooting if our league form drops next season cos of this monstrosity of a cup.
 
They have to get rid of the losers from the CL dropping into the Europa. That really makes the competition look extremely poor. It's almost as if UEFA is saying "oh keep playing in these group friendlies lads, the losers from the big boy tournament will be here soon enough."

bad enough 5th place teams could now be going into the CL. 5th placed, you're in a league of "champions", come 3rd in your group, win the europa but get relegated from your league.

you're in the main "champions" competition of europe when there are at least 20 domestic teams better than you. makes sense :S
 
I'm well excited if we get into this competition, I've 4 days hols left this year .told Mrs Bilko I'd take her away for a long weekend........so Blues ,get this point and keep your fingers crossed for a decent draw !.
