I really don't see the problem in us being placed in the first round of qualifying, given the choice of a lucrative Japanese tour or a lucrative champions league campaign i know what i would pick.
So what are the problems
Early season training......fitness, after a 4 week rest i don't see the problem, perhaps play a couple of youngsters in 2nd leg matches to help the likes of Cara recover from the previous season, but apart from that Liverpool had so many injuries last season i think there won't be a problem.
Getting knocked out in qualifying - our fate is in our own hands, Leverkusen, Juventus, Chelsea and AC Milan are going to be a hell of a lot tougher than we would face in qualifying, second season improvement on top of that should see us into the CL.
Injuries - this is my biggest fear, an over zealous side taking on the champions of europe in the qualifying rounds, it worries me a bit.
Biggest plus - Money, pissing off the scum and bluepooe, priceless really.
Remember the rules were changed toi accomodate us, uefa could of buried their head in the sand and we could of been teeing up for the uefa cup, lets not whine like the scum, lets take the bull by the horns and make the best of what we have.
