"Our italian trip tradition is not so favorable, but this time I am pretty optimistic because BR will play a strong team with Luis Suarez upfront and globally our first eleven is man by man superior to that of Udinese, think that there will be some mismatch on our behalf, it will be important keep quiet Di Natale. I anyway expect a game rich of goals."
"I don't get how we could be top of the group if both YB and us win. How is Anzhi already through anyway ? if YB beat them 3-0 they have a better head to head. I'm lost..."
"Bauchbutton, if we win we get 10pts as do Anzhi. We both won a game 1-0 so that makes us level in head to head (points and goal difference against each team level on points). In this instance, the country's coefficient is counted and England is higher than Russia."
"Bauchbutton, part 2. Anzhi are already through because even if YB and LFC both win, the three teams on 10pts are determined on a mini-league. Anzhi 6pts v LFC and YB, LFC 7pts v AM (3), YB (4)while YB only got 1 so far and would get to 4 if they beat Anzhi."
"Part 3, so in other words, Anzhi are through whatever the results, same as we're out if we lose whatever the results as Young Boys (7 pts) would head us (4 pts), and Udinese (6 pts)in a mini-league if we all get 7 points in the main group."
"The country coefficient only applies when teams are dead level, i.e we beat Anzhi 1-0 and lost 1-0. If we'd won 3-1 rather than 1-0 we'd finish above Anzhi on goal difference if we both finish level on 10pts"
