I like the new format. You get to play so many different teams which is great. I got so sick and tired of watching the same teams twice over and over again.
My main argument is that the downside to this format it means liverpool have outright won against 7 different opponents, the fact they have proven outright they are the best in the leauge it takes away from the knockout stages
@@owenmurphy4635No it doesnt. Everyone knows a one off game is different to a league format. Liverpool have thrived in the league format the same way they are doing in the PL, it doesnt mean in a one off game they will also thrive.
@@owenmurphy4635Even if Liverpool win against all 8 teams they face it's just to get ranking positions. The top 2 will host every knockout round second leg at home. The business end remains the same.
Robbie has had the format explained to him across several different shows on various episodes. "They just play random teams". Don't they always? Genuine muppet
I love this new format!!! What in earth are they talking about! The first 8 teams qualify for the round of 16,9-24 plays each other in the 2nd round to qualify for the round of 16. Everyone else is eliminated!
This is fantastic! Big teams can't just draw with each other as they risk missing out on making the cut. And big teams can end up drawn against each other in play-offs let alone last 16.. More jeopardy, more variety and clubs get a chance to make some money.
Nah, the season has already impacted me positively. Theres no way I want to watch lfc play 4 teams two times, plain and boring. Idk about the fans who travel to games but sitting from home, I'm having fun watching my team play 8 different teams.
I swear these travelling fans (honestly it’s never more than 10,000 MAX in away European games I’ve been to a few) think they’re more important than the millions who watch at home. We get 4 away games anyway, that’s 1 more than the regular UCL group stages. People just moan to moan.
@@MrReeealistwe are a thousand times more important than you. You’re not a fan or a supporter, you’re a hobbiest. You just sit at home while we talk about football because you don’t have the right
new format so far is a massive improvement. 8 different opponents. the only teams playing dead rubbers are the ones already out. only problem of the format is the seeding. teams in the top 8 are gonna be rewarded with some nasty 15-24th opponents likely to require 16 points for top 8, 5 wins & a draw. genuinely high bar. we might find teams in future not bothering, rotating for the group stage and taking the extra KO round
@@therealdk01 yes i disagree with the fa cup reforms. should be the league cup they reform, qualifying for europe at any level should disqualify you from the league cup. then everyone plays 3 comps & we get more interesting cup winners
@@indexpictures but could you make an argument that removing those European-qualifying teams naturally removes the interesting aspect of those cup winners. Without big clubs in the mix, the standards become more even, which could result in less enthusiasm in cup games, especially in comparison to a trophy like the fa cup?
@@therealdk01 FA Cup should be bigger than the league cup. it's historic. my club has won the league cup multiple times and 🤷♂️ couldnt care less. league cup would be worth more if midtable teams could actually win it. newcastle, brighton, bournemouth etc would take it super seriously
Liverpool are the best team in the world by a big margin imo, but stop riding yourselves and start giving credit to Lille. No one really gets out of second gear against them, thats because they don't allow for that to happen.
@@element1040 Where have I discredited Lille? That's a team that's been unbeaten since September, we bossed them apart from a very lazy goal we let in. A bit of complacency that caused that. We did the same to Leverkusen. League champs, invincible, bossed them 4-0 at Anfield.
@@rahulnaik1676RM were lucky if you actually watched the game which clearly you didn't we were all over them unfortunately Courtois was having a worldie they didn't deserve to win that night but they still did goes to show you didn't watch the game
Robbie saying " it should have been 2 groups with 16 each teams " so 15 matches just in league face ?? Btw and if he wants home and away thats 30 matches
OAP sods cant fathom a slight change to a CL format. It’s not fucking astrophysics they literally explained it numerous times at the start of the season and the quality of games has been incredible. Much better than the old format where the last two games were essentially dead rubber if you won the first 4
It really isn't maybe for 10 year olds like you it is because you can stare at your screens even more all it does is minimise the chances of underdogs getting through it also js adds more games to players plates so injuries are more likely to occur
The guy said one thing and can`t get out of my head. First 8 in UCL should pick their opponents, and Liverpool would have to choose first. That would be proper reward for first place. Ofc they would choose the easiest team, and that is point..
Agreed. Allowing the top 8 to pick their opponents after the 9-24 teams play would be really fun and make these group games way more important Because right now, even if you finish in the top 4 your reward can be Real Madrid lol
I don't know mate......the team that LFC picked as "easy picking" might feel insulted and turned into prime RM with zidane😂😂😂😂 Nothing fired up the bellies of players....as being looked upon as an easy team to win against😂😂😂
Yes it would have been awesome. The 1st picks an opponent then the 2nd picks and so on. I mean there’s money for finishing 1st but they can face a big team in the round 16.
This format is a lot fairer tbh, each team plays 2 teams from the 4 tiers rather than 1 team possibly getting 3 dead teams or 3 amazing teams. Home & away comes into play in the knockout stages. Apart from it being a couple extra games, I like it.
I really like the new UCL format, and it's set up the most exciting last day of fixtures ever. Got to love the KGT comment after Robbie pointed out that Arsenal haven't conceded a goal at home in the UCL this season. Just like Liverpool, except for one. Well then you have, haven't you.
I don't like this new format it'll burn out players which will lead to injuries I know the games are good but top the new format and international breaks topped up by leagues and domestic cups injuries are bound to strike clubs who are having the season of their lives turn to being an underwhelming end.
None of those teams are scary and only if they get through. Enjoying the new format where you play 8 different teams as opposed to playing 4 teams home and away. I dont like the scrapping of the away goals rule though
Robbie hasn't really thought this through on the new UCL format. You want bigger groups, want to meet teams home and away and still feel the matches are too much. a bigger 5-team group home and away is 8 matches. 6-team is 10 matches. 18teams in 2 groups won't have home and away either. Just stop this complaints and move on. So many discussions have gone on before it was approved. It's a brilliant format. There is jeopardy in every game. The last day will be fantastic.
My team is not in the Champions league so this format is confusing for me. Boo hoo hoo. Why is this guy commenting abt champions league. Talk Abt West Yaam where players career's go to die. Hope you get relegated 😂

"nasty 15-24th opponents" could include Bayern, PSG, and Man City, which is very funny.
It’s a cool concept, but I hate how it affects external aspects like the fa cup and scheduling in general.

AGT: neither have we, except one.

logic with liverpool fans, they even say 2022 final madrid scored just 1 lucky goal.otherwise it was l0serpool who was true winner
They literally just conceded the first goal at home.

Yes it would have been awesome. The 1st picks an opponent then the 2nd picks and so on. I mean there’s money for finishing 1st but they can face a big team in the round 16.
The new format with the random 8 games provided a lot more wins to the smaller teams. For those teams the millions are major injection.

That west ham fella aint very bright .
"Neither have we apart from 1" - So you have conceded at home then?
That’s not true, the top 8 go through to the last 16. 9th-24th will play a play off. So Liverpool could draw any of them in the round of 16
But currently 20 teams can finish in the top 16
So any of those 20 teams that could be in the play offs could face Liverpool? So not just bayern real and juve haha
@@JL-uv9yj technically yh could be anyone but watch it be Madrid haha
I found the league format interesting and if its boring then its just as boring as doing groups
Robbie still angry he cant get revenge on inter milan 😂 this is where it all started
Robbie's theory of bigger champs league groups would only mean more games... clown
I like this new league format. There seems something novel each week.
Real madrid is not picking its a team that knows how to play in the knockout stages
Arsenal will be the 1st Top 8 team to be Eliminated from the Champions League... BOOK IT!
They could play Madrid because Madrid are playing brest
wouldn't shock anyone tbh.
You lot can't live without mentioning Arsenal.

All Fixed!
They probably won't too be fair.
The bald fella is was too level headed for this show lol
It's all about money, it's a super league under a different name
New format is much much better.
Claude is back?
The champions league group stages are always rubbish no matter the format. It's always about the knock-out games, that's where the memories happen.
While I have enjoyed this group phase I like Robbie’s suggested format better
