  1. Just an awesome individual goal that gets better every time you see it. the first three touches are just perfection. to get the ball away from Corona and into space but not too far, then past the defender but not too close to the goalie and then past the goalkeeper but not too close to the other defender just brilliantly executed.
  2. Pepe and Mbemba are both shorter than Kai and only marginally less skinny but they still play it more physically. Kai just did not put up a fight. He has been in PL for months and still has not put on an ounce of muscle or embraced the physical part of the game.
  3. Imagine we would have gone for jadon sancho instead of havertz and werner.... well you never know. But what we need is a nimble, fast attacker who also has this little bit of bulk and low centre of gravity to ride challanges and get past the player despite the foul. If Hazard had stopped everytime he got fouled we would not have won all those titles. Kai, timo and Puli always go down like they hit a wall when tackled. Even Willian was better at this. We have lost a lot of attacking fluidity with those two.
  4. We have been poor individually apart from a few players but have fought as a team brilliantly since Tuchel arrived. you more often than not do not win cups with individual brilliance but with gritty defending and the necessary slice of luck
  5. That is why Chilwell>Alonso. The latter could not have scored that goal to save his life with his turtle pace. Chilwell just breezed past them all.
  6. two very good goals. should have scored more with the azpi header and the pulisic shot but overall good result. weren't threatened much.porto jsut like atletico only were piss poor cheaters and divers.
  7. has kai honestly just missed an empty goal?
  8. Mount and Edou have been very decent. In general our defence has held firm so far
  9. Yup, I googled him. Apparently he was also caught in posession of drugs that day
  10. they struggle with Porto's athleticism.
  11. porto diving and fouling all the time and the ref buys it. disgusting.
  12. the umpteenth time they stopped our counter with a foul and still no card
  13. It is BS. huge advantage for porto bc they can score away goals in the 2nd leg and have 120mins if needed to do so. 2nd huge advantage is that porto have the way shorter flight.
  14. Criminal starting Jorginho after his terrible showing vs WestBrom but i guess we have no choice. We are a bit light in the CM/DM position. Otherwise alright. Obviously Werner is getting special treatment. no way he starts on merit.
  15. Agüero and Giroud are hardly comparable. Agüero is still pretty fast and agile. He is the same age as Lewandowski and you do not complain about him physically declining. If we can get Agüero fit again and have him stay healthy he has one more 20+ PL goals season in him. Pep has treated him cirminally. He is still streets ahead of GAbriel Jesus. I do not think he will come here but if there is a chance we should go for him, definitely.
  16. Not a sports betting man but statistically doubles like this are harakiri.
  17. He will probably miss the tie injured, won't he?
  18. tbf I only saw the 2nd half and real had very few chances and mostly sat back. liverpool were poor at creating bu seldom seen real madrid defend this deep.
  19. liverpool were terrible but real parked the double decker. their goals were soft tho
  20. felix brych is butchering this tie with his terrible officiating.
  21. On the one end I want Real Madrid cos they are THE Champions league club and i want to thrash them while they are this poor on the other end iw oudl not mind liverpool staying in the competition longer and take their concentration off the league.
