To me, Reina is a better penalty keeper than Cech, but if I had the choice of either one to be my keeper for any one match, I’d go with Cech. On his day, I still think he’s the best in the world. But Reina doesn’t get his due – he’s certainly one of the best, and I’d pick him over just about anyone but Cech.

And I’m with JT – the second-place spot in each group is the one that interests me.

I am a Chelsea fan and I’m happy we were seeded for the first time. However, am happy on the outcome of the draws I know Chelsea will top thier group and win the Champions League for the first time.

Stuttgart? Don’t get me wrong, I think Barca are going to have a hard time, but I’d still fancy Lyon to finish 1st if it’s not Barca.

Adam,

Pepe has a ridiculous penalty save record over his career. Chelsea in the CL semifinal, West Ham in the 2006 FA Cup final, something like 7 of 10 down the stretch for Valencia when they won their last La Liga title, not to mention he has more clean sheets than any other keeper in the Premiership over the last two seasons despite having injury issues himself. Of course he does have a better back line in front of him than Cech.

I think Cech is great and it really doesn’t bother me how nobody has respect for Pepe, he just goes about being one of the best.

Brian,
One Penalty Shootout doesnt make Pepe the best GK in whole year. Pepe no doubt better penalty stopper but overall Cech win by margin.
BTW Lamps got past him twice in penalties in past 2 matches.

Predict the winners? Who cares? Its all about the battles for second and third. Thats where the intrigue lies.

There is no way Valencia is taking that group from Chelsea. Chelsea has played shit to start the season and are still leading the prem, when they hit full stride they will be hard to deal with this season.

Liverpool is in top form and will go through with Porto and Marsielle fighting to the finish. in group a

Valencia vs Chelsea .. i have a feeling Valencia’s poor form due to bad coaching will mean an early exist for the Che in groub B.

R madrid and bremmen are my favorites to out do Lazio and Olympiacos which are both suffering from Goal drought in group c.

in group D well i would never bet against Milan and my money is on Celtic sneaking by Benfica in a very tight race for second.

Group e will be barcelona dn Lyon. no other team in this group can challenge them

F will see the man U team resurge onto the Champions league and find their formwith Roma and Kiev fighting it out.

group g will be a very close group with Inter dominating it but the other three really its up for grabs.

In group H expect a low scoring group but Sevilla( our hearts are with you ) to take the group with Arsenal. close behind.
