What a fk by Sane

What an amazing finish ny godin with a sweet deflection off Ronaldo. Lovely

Atletico now leadibg by 2 should be the tie

Justice done. I remember strikers diving to get pens now it seems to be a way of defending for Juve faking offense fouls

Hiw corrupted us var Clearly legit goal from morata Im out refs are ruining all games

The schalke ref is such a joke. Giving those nothing sits on city bjt not the obvious fouls on silva

Morata iss looking ok for a cpubter attacking team

Not really They will get hammered at city

lol at least we know how to stop City now in case it was unclear before: park the bus, beat their press with high balls and shoot from distance. But ofc Sarri is not going any of this. I doubt he is even watching. He probably just sits at home flipping coins on whether to start Barkley and sub on Kovacic or vice versa

watch Schalke start the timewasting now and still lose

VAR is really taking the piss, 5mins of added time in ht1

lol City giving away stupid penalties to make it more interesting for themselves^^ no idea what the ref is doing. neither pen should have been given imo

Barca who could not score vs a poor Lyon side.

Great CL night with 0 goals🤮

Really wasteful from pool today. But all they need is a score draw in Munich

The bog difference between thpse teams and us apart from a defensive team concept is that all players are comfortable on various pass ranges and make off the ball runs

lol Mane so wasteful today

salah should have scored twice already

plus what is wrong with his skin. he looks like a 14 y.o. with extra neurodermatitis. Wouldn't have thought a 26 y.o. acne would get worse with time lol

Lol if CHO thinks he is gonna replace either Coman or Gnabry. They realyl have improved their wing play

shows what Sarri really thinks of CHO. Only played him because the board were afraid he could riot to force through the move. Sarri clearly does not rate CHO which shows what a poor judge of talent he is. Sure, CHO has hardly been breathtaking but Willian has been atrocious.

I doubt that will happen. Barca had the benefit that they could rest many players in the league and the Sapnish league was even worse than it is now. and they had prime Messi. I know it is clutching onto straws but if there is a way to defeat them by luck it has to be in that game. We lose as oon as we concede but if we just don't concede we a have a chance.

They will surely do that but in truth Kovacic is just the ball hog version of Barkley with even less output. He has played at Inter, Real and Croatia in various systems and never really established himself. He has always been the level he is now. Nice floating movement and good dribbling skills and that's it. I don't think he will ever become better. Even at Real who I consider one of the great counter attacking teams 2014-2017 he could not really get his mark, even though he always showed glimpses and can break free with his close control he usually misplaces the pass. It is like Willian. He too on paper is the perfect counter attacking player but just cant make a pass or decision to back up his running. Two of the greatest counter attacking players I have ever seen are Lampard and Ramires. Even if the one did not have the pace and the other one not the skill of Willian and Kovacic, they were absolutely deadly because they always made their mind up early and even at full sprint had the composure and concentration the apply the final pass or finish.

This is obviously a guess just as ours but my dream scenario would be that Sarri one fucking time sees the light, parks the Bus vs City and somehow grab a cup win by pens or a lucky freak goal. Even if the players hate Sarri they will be hurt by that 6-0 defeat and turn up for this one even if they hate Sarri. And on paper Hazard and Higuain are still potent goal threats and bound to score again in a big game

I think this will be a nervy 0-0 I think we will draw vs Spurs, Everton, Leicester and Wolves if Sarri stays. Really no hope reaching CL via the league with him in charge. The only way I see us qualifying is by winning the EL and that only if results fall into our place, e.g. BATE kick out Arsenal, Krasnodar, Donezk, Zürich and all those other clowns somehow kick out their superior opponents. It is really a shame how quickly we have become a mediocre team, we are the 6th best team in the league, have no real chance to scrape a lucky cup win, need results to get lucky in the fucking EL. A few years back we would have wiped the floor with todays Manure, Napoli, Lazio, Inter, Leverkusen even if we'd probably fucked up the league back then too with the attitude of this squad of players.
