Pizy

Our strongest possible XI I'd say. Must be said, Wolves do have a very nice looking XI here. Full of potential danger men. This is going to be very, very tough. Hope the players don't crumble if we struggle.

Don't know if you guys in England do this, but in American sports we often talk about "system" players. Players who are made to look far better than they actually are due to playing for a brilliant coach/team. To me that's what Sterling is. I don't think he'd look nearly as good if he wasn't playing for City. Very nice player, don't get me wrong. But he's not top class for me. For instance, you could place Hazard or Aguero or KDB on literally any shit PL team and they'd still be world class. Don't think Sterling is anywhere near that level. He's just picture perfect in Pep's system.

Id be livid if I were a Liverpool fan right now. In the midst of a tight title race and Watford have basically surrendered the match before even kicking off by resting several of their best players. City barely have to break a sweat for the second straight weekend.

I'll allow myself a wry smile at Spuds, but with a very tough match tomorrow I can't get too excited yet. Should we win and Arse/United draw this will be a picture perfect weekend. Maybe a few key injuries to other teams as well. 😂

They're the sort of team that can give us real trouble if we don't show up. Very well drilled, athletic, and have several players who can destroy us on the counter. I pray Emerson starts.

Absolutely outrageous. Sounds like FIFA is trying to make a statement here. Completely inconsistent with what those other clubs went through. What would even happen if the club just ignore the ruling and went about business as usual? Not like they'd kick us out of the PL or anything?

Quite possibly the worst side we've been played this season. I was expecting WAY better. Pedro is a phenomenal player when in form. Silky touch, endless workrate, constant running in behind. Should've had a hat trick there. Luiz, Pedro, and Kovacic were sensational. Kovacic looks really good carrying the ball. Hopefully these missed chances don't bite us. All it takes is one terrible defensive error and they can spoil the night if we don't ad do on our lead.

Let's be real here. If CHO was at any of Arsenal, United, Liverpool, or Spuds he would be every bit as good, if not better than Rashford is currently. All of those clubs/managers would be giving him regular starts and nurturing his talent more/better than we do. It's sad but true. And that's why we'll most certainly lose him this summer.

No clue what to expect here. Don't know how dangerous Dynamo are and don't recognize a single name in their XI. Hopefully we take this ultra seriously and don't underestimate them. Home clean sheet a priority. We have to treat the EL like its the CL and we're totally desperate to win it.

Don't understand how that's a pen in a million years. He's looking the opposite direction and his arm is basically by his side. Wasn't totally unintentional and he doesn't move his arm towards the ball. Arm not in an unnatural position. Thats shocking.

PSG look shell shocked. They have almost 90% possession and should've killed it off. Now they look vulnerable to every United counter. We'll never hear the end of this from the media if United go through and rightly so. Missing their entire midfield 3 and PSG were 2-0 up. Almost worse than their choke against Barca.

United have basically scored on their only two touches... Theyve looked embarrassingly terrible and have scored 2 against PSG away. Like I said, CHOKERS!

PSG are the ultimate CL chokers. They'll fuck this all up, watch. Against this awful looking United XI.

On one hand its cool to see Ajax batter Courtois and Real Madrid. The entitlement and arrogance of that club are gross. On the other hand, them going out makes it much easier for one of Liverpool, City, or Spuds to advance even further. Even when Madrid are having a poor season by their standards they have been super dangerous deep in the CL and I'd have fancied them against any English side. Every season I cheer against every English team that's not us. Would be unbearable to see any of them win it. but this season I think City have a very, very good chance and Liverpool and Spuds are so up and down that depending on the day they can beat anyone. Atleti have been my go-to "2nd club" over the past few years so I hope they win it all. If not them then Juventus despite my dislike of CR7.

"Who's that decent, but not great English midfielder playing for Chelsea?" He's a very good squad player but simply not good enough to start regularly for Chelsea.

Jorginho should be doing what he did much more often in truth. With the amount of time we spend camped out in opponents' half, he should be getting into that position along the edge of the box all the time and passing it into the top corner. Hazard and Wilian put so much pressure on the wide areas that the pullback to Jorginho/Barkley/Kante is always there. Imagine prime Lamps in Kovacic/Barkley's position!

Phew. We looked dead on our feet in the second half. Just invited pressure and stopped playing like we did first half. We were killing them from wide areas and Higuain was everywhere in the first half. We then completely abandoned that in the second half and Gonzalo barely touched the ball. Decent resilience shown towards the end, but we can't keep clinging on like this. Should've been out of sight by half time. Thought Kepa, Kante, Jorginho, and Cristensen were superb. Emerson and Higuain very good in parts.

We're being hammered here. Can't get a bloody touch.

ADVANCE THE FUCKING BALL!!!! Why are we fucking around playing between Rudiger and Kante!? Get the ball in their half, FFS!

We go from comfortable to shocking in the span of a few minutes. Just letting them build all the momentum. If we don't score next and kill it off they'll score.

He would certainly help. Barkley is pretty lazy and not so disciplined in the defensive phase. Neither is RLC. We need another pitbull in there like a Barella to play along with Kante and Jorginho.

Higuain is absolutely dominating in their box. His movement is superb. For once, the service has been great from wide areas. We keep getting him these chances and he'll bury another. Just have to sharpen up in midfield.

It is so worrying how vulnerable we are in the center of the pitch when the ball is turned over. Saying it all season. We just get destroyed there repeatedly. Even by poor sides like this.

Literally standings unmarked in our box. Fucking hell. We are atrocious defensively. That is unreal.

Being outplayed by the worst side in the division so far...
