Started with Napoli x Liverpool hcap 2 x Zenit. That was killed early then I went for CFC over 1.5 at half time x L'pool hcap 1. With 1-1 at half time in France and L'pool 3-1 ahead cashed it out. Winner overall. Today (Europa) I don't know yet.

Lille was a diffcult opponent. They will be dangerous at the bridge too.

I don't know but should be a whole body.

I don't think so, but this millimeter thing is silly. Some time ago they were saying that same line is no longer to the advantage of the defense..

How many teams can play press against Chelsea for 90 minutes ? We lost the match because it was a Morata day, including Abraham just before Azpi's disallowed goal (a schoolboy should n't miss from that position). Their second goal was a gift from Oliver really (the strange free kick he gave them) but the defense was caught with their pants down - free header.

Morata day.

'pool won the cl with one worse than that.

I 'm afraid the pen lost us one point and gave Valencia two points. By CL standards we 're not good enough -never mind PL standards. Leaky defense, could n't score a goal against a team that lost 5-2 to Barca, who are theoretically our adversaries in this competition.

Clearly both missed so it was no good for their teams, but Messi's effort was better than Barkley's. I 've seen some pens taken high saved, especially when hit centrally ! In that case if the goalkeeper does n' buy it's an easy save. Barkley's shot was not central but it was a bad one. As we all know the world's best pen takers strike low and they also sense the keeper's movement and then all they have to do is a tap-in (Hazard-Didier).

It's not the same thing. Barkely's shot is one and a half ball diameters above Messi's. You can say Messi was unlucky not to have scored but Barkley would have been very lucky to score.

Willian sensed the danger.

I 'm sure you 've seen many such pens and also many of them went in. But it's a stupid method. Usually if there is no pen taker or the pen takers have been exhausted in a shootout do we see this type of effort.

Ok then, suppose he modfies his style and makes a 10 out of 10 correct from now on. The way he took today's pen is still a historical sh*t.

Fair enough, but Messi hit the underside of the bar at least - he did n't shoot wide.

Hazard missed one rather badly, I think it was against a Bosnian side. But he normally knows what he's doing. He would never shoot the Barkley way. Also compare Didier's cl winner with Barkley's sh*t.

Only an amateur shoots a pen like that.

Name a good penalty taker past or present who goes for the roof of the net.

Could be the pope's decision. He is no PK taker.

Willian would have scored the pen 99.999% or Jorginho or Kepa.

Bilbao are a German team ?

0-0 against decent opposition in Germany.

We are miles behind Barcelona who disposed of this team with the utmost of ease. Barcelona are playing space age football, despite their two sh*ters against Roma and Liverpool. I saw Barkley insisting to take the pen, he was saying to the others "me-me-me". He was looking confident but no serious penalty taker goes for the roof of the net like that. Name one. This team of ours apart of everything else is low on stamina. The chances created in the second half were very few compared to the first half. Only the free kick Willian won and then the keeper saved Alonso's shot was the product of a decent move and the penalty was from set piece.

That was an idiot's penalty.

Tammy is 12 to 1 with bet365 - probably more with other bookmakers. What do you think ?

Some great attacking football and Abraham is well on its way to become top scorer of th PL (price ? can't find). We conceded two but in the last 30 minutes both teams had ran out of steam really (it was alread 4-0 though). Clearly Tomori's opening goal greatly influenced things. I just think we need more stamina against stronger opposition.
