Please give us different tie almighty draw ball. I don't want RM-Barca or Atletico-RM, i can just watch them in la liga. RM - Bayern should be fun, Barca - Dormund is another one Juve - Atletico and Leciester - Monaco.

This is the kind of game that make people hate Mou. If he is your manager and you are winning, it is all good but man if he is your opponent, he is just annoying. From his conference comment, to his negative and just kick the other team best player football. But I think he fit perfectly with current United (big team that has not won big trophy in years, he will instill siege mentality. The problem happen once you start winning, you don't want to be the villain anymore but that's what your manager want, then everything start to crumble)

If he does well in the next wc, they will come

I completely agree with your assessment. It is good for us that he choose us but if he play for barca he will be even better than current Hazard. 1st he does not have to much defensive work, 2nd he can learn from Messi. When Hazard came in our team, he was straight away our best player, there is no one to learn from imagine if he can learn from a player like Messi.

As long as Ronaldo is there he is not going to RM.

Excellent post, for me every year UCL is a bonus, the league is far more important. You need plenty of luck to win knock out tournament. Just do well and don't lose in dumb way then I am happy. I saw plenty of posts saying we got bad referee decision in UCL every time but hey nobody mentioned 2 years ago we got favorable against PSG yet we lost. The past couple winners may or may not be the deserved winner but it is hard to deny the fact that Bayern,Barca and RM have been the best team in Europes for a couple years now.

There were two major decisions that I thought were wrong. - Barca 2nd penalty I thought was a dive by suarez - PSG should have a penalty (Mascherano fouled Di Maria in penalty box) Only these two,1st penalty when Neymar was fouled was stone wall penalty, I don't get how some people even debating this incident. It does not matter Neymar created the contact, when you fall down on somebody path, it is a penalty. Draxler cut back was not a penalty. Just try to do a sliding tackle, your hand will be in the same position as Mach hand because you are trying to brace your body. Overall decent game, Barcelona did not play well but PSG was just horrific. Barcelona came back against Milan a while ago I thought was more special.

Maybe it is true but if it were us not PSG, I will be more angry on the player and the manager rather than the referee. I am not sure how can you give up a perfect result 4-0 lead and end up losing 6-5

Wow the amount of hatred towards barcelona in this forum. The referee was bad but not the worst performance I have seen. The one that has problem is PSG. They were absolutely horrible on the night. I thought it was a really good game because of the first leg. I don't support Barca but as long as Chelsea is not in UCL I don't care who is going to win it, just give me good game and I am happy..

There is no way Arsenal is going to sell him to us. (They used to do it because they need money to build stadium)

I am not a tiny bit surprised that arsenal lost. I fully expect liverpool to beat arsenal. Arsenal is the perfect opponent for Liverpool.

Alex hunter is going to be their next big signing

Not surprised with the result. It usually happens when you change manager, Leciester need a jolt and they got it. The first goal especially is typical leciester goal. Vardy made the run even before the pass, not sure what Lucas can do against a much faster player like Vardy

I agree with most of his opinion just not the fact that most of the audience that watch UCL especially in asia is casual fans, it is actually the other way around. They follow European league closely. But the popular will have more fans andnd like you said you only watch the late NFL game if redskins play, it is the same for ucl. People will only try to wake up early only if their team is playing or maybe a big game.

After watching Atletico v. Barca, I understand why Barca has been so poor and Luis Enrique got tons of stick. They simply cannot do any build up, it is mind bogling. It is useless to have 3 WC strikers up top if you cannot bring the ball up the field

I disagree especially in asian market where you have to wake up like 2/3 am in the morning to watch UCL games, the one who watched the game has to be hardcore fans so they must follow European league closely, but the rating is definitely twice as high simply because MU is the most popular team in the world. I am not so sure that is true if we have milan vs inter (both currently are poor team but very popular in the past ) in UCL.

At that moment, I am not sure what should we do, we already playing attacking lineup with cesc on the field, maybe willian for moses/Alonso is the next but I think it was too early Sometimes I disagree with his sub but against swansea I agree 100%, the moment we scored Matic is badly needed because we need more steel in midfield and taller player.

If that is true then it is fine. 150 m euro is a lot, we can sign lukaku and get better wingback

It was quite a nervous game. We did not play spectacular but decent enough. Moses and alonso often arrive in really good position but could not deliver the perfect cross. Defensively we looked fine (not great but fine) even with fabregas on, but i think we are too short. I want more of 2nd half Hazard. I dont care if he cannot beat his defender, all i want from hazard is for him to be aggresive, put fear in the defender mind.

I saw there was some kind of confusion of who to mark before the set pieces. I think it was Gary Cahill who was trying to arrange other player or he is confused (maybe Luiz too, don't remember but you can clearly see the confusion). I agree with you that Conte need to fix our set pieces marking but for other header goals especially from crossing, not sure it will be solved this season.

For me technically Costa is quite poor for a WC striker especially his touch but hey he scored a volley with his weaker foot today. Just take the bad and the good with Costa. The only striker in the world that I want over costa for Chelsea is Suarez but that is not going to happen

I don't think so, I think it has been discussed multiple times, with this squad there isn't a perfect solution. We can solve our heading problem by playing maybe Zouma but it will create another problems.

Not sure which Costa did you watch, he tend to lose the ball a lot even in the beginning of the season. If you want a player who is technically excellent then costa is not you guy but he will give you a fighter upfront

Agree but tbh their team is not good enough. I thought their signing was good actually, they are trying to replace their least talented players but in general their team is just not good. Their backline consit of simpson,huth,moragan,fuch and they were one of the best defensive side in the league last season

He is good but not world class but if you listen to english media you think he is the next messi
