Champions League Group

It's an auspicious group for Liverpool in some ways. The return of Vladi Smicer and our return to the Ataturk will add interest to two of the fixtures, and our first ever competitive game against Bordeaux will add another little piece of history to the pile.

PSV Eindhoven look the biggest threat for me, but a certain Dutch Liverpool striker has a great record against them for his old club, Feyenoord. I think we can win this group. It's certainly a lot less daunting than last years draw.

Our toughest fixture might be the away on 5th December. But if we have to go to the Ataturk requiring three goals then I can't think of many better places.
