Magic Lamps

whos the lady pundit on BT? Puts Michael Owen to shame with her analysis (which is not saying much tho^^)

This shows Willian's worth. Beign the bes tplayer on the pitch in a dead rubber against some joke club in a tinpot competition.

Fair enough. Prefer plzen too but i thinl cska would have been easy prey too. Real are the worst i have seen them in over 10 years and had no incentive to turn up for this match so i doubt this defeat tells you anything about Cska being strong.

But honestly who gives a shit which of these clowns are in el?

Still a dead rubber. Cska 4th real already secured group

only dead rubbers in cl today or am i wrong?

I do think we should walk through. Milan and Napoli are good sides but if we play at our best we should be able to beat them over 2 legs. It is our title to lose. Lets hope we get only one hard opponent tho so we can rotate more. Glad spurs and pool are thru in cl. Keeps their energy in europe and them out of our way in el

He is like that senile teacher we used to have in school who would repeat the few things he remembered and understood about his subject over and over and over again pissing everyone off and not even noticing.

No the point you madr was that tje aforementioned adjectives described Lewandowski not Morata when indeed they are a better description of Morata. Anyone knows Lewa is 100 times the player Morata is but not because of these adjectives. Lewa is better because of his mindset and strikers instinct

Morata is way bigger and faster than Lewa tho

Walker is prolly the only rb i would take over him player-wise but not from a character perspective. Trippier is just a midget Alonso. No idea why so many rate him. A nice freekick here and there but no pace and no positional awareness.

shit son just scored

he is way more dangerous and subtle in his manipulations. With Mourinho you always know what you are up against but Guardiola's slick modesty is way more spooky. If Mourinho turns up at your house with a knife in his hand you would just be having a laugh at his latest stupid joke but if its pep you can be sure he's already poisened you and just comes to finish you off.

13 tackles. cant recall ever having read such a high stat. and many of them crucial. Sterling beat him every time but Azpi recovered every time too and sneaked the ball from him until Sterling got fed up and only passed the ball backwards every time he faced Azpi.

Zielinski and Allen are hardly better than our midfielders. I think it is of course due to the players around, the fullbacks not being an offensive outlet, not comfortable on the ball enough but also in the Serie A the DLP is hardly pressed as high as today. Jorginho has to evolve his game.

injury looked nasty. sorry but i really do not buy that. Pure CMF? In what formation does that exist. one in the mid 3 of a 4-3-3 is as close to pure cmf as it gets. It is not the coaches fault, that Kovacic has 0 offensive output. I like the guy and the shift he turns in but he is not remarkable at anything except his technique but he neither has above-average defensive nor offensive stats. At some point a player has to add value and it is not enough to look neat and tidy with the ball at his feet. Kovacic has all the talent in the world but he needs to develop because what he is showing now he has shown for 4 years. It is not the solution to build a formation around a stagnating player. If Sarri wants him to play "AMF" which is a position that IMO does not exist in our formation then this is a damn good opportunity to work on his offensive output.

Jorginho is so figured out. NO idea why the Serie A could not do it in years but the prem really has sussed his game within 4 months. Needs to adapt be a bit more variable with his positioning and passing range. I know he has it in him cos he is fast in his mind and has decent technical ability but he has to step it up a notch

Alonso was quality today tho. won like every tackle in the 2nd half and did not wander out of position. his misplaced passes in the first were painful but every single one of our players was shit in that regard in the first 45. Alonso's defensive solidity however completely fucked up City's gameplan as they were vying to exploit him. They then shifted to attack our right side and shifted sterling there after Sane was taken off, which made it easier for us. I still hope he gets dropped for emerson tho. btw hope kovacic is not seriously injured. The difference between him and Barkley in regards to comfortability on the ball was blatant.

lol. i like how city can not handle frustration. That is why they are not a classy team and why they have not won the cl last year. just can not handle not getting their way, little sissies. never understood you have to suffer first to win the big prizes.

hazard 12 games without a goal. imagine how morata would get slated for such a streak and rightly so. A game of unlikely heroes. Alonso has been absolutely faultless today. no wonder they attacked almost only over Azpi's side. And Luiz comfortably MOTM.

lol the false kick-off trick. classic.

damn. we are winning every header. just should cross more.

lol that folden midget must have robbed a douglas for all the kajal he is wearing

i am ok with continuing to play without giroud/morata if this means having RLC up there. He is just as big and powerful but more comfortable on the ball.

LOLZ. 5 tall guys vs 2 tall ones in the box. that would not have happend with mourinho in peps place^^
