The European Leagues & Competitions Thread V2

[Special Juan 27,424]

He was crazy good last year but a bit less now...

Very talented guy though!

Notched a few for the Super Eagles too. Keep me posted on how he's doing mate.

I reckon, though, they will win 1-0 or 2-1 which will not be enough. They always screw up in the first leg / part of the competition and have to chase the scoreline in the second part. And kinda always they are out by just 1 goal

Thats why they'll go through.Tradition to go out in last 16 lol..hope then false hope

Why we don't sign Alex Sandro, again?

[DDA 9,690]

Pogba running tings!

Superb player!

As for Man City in the opening 30 minutes. Embarassing to English football

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Just like the first match in Manchester City are lucky to lose by just one. Juve pretty much dominate the match. City were well below average.

Imagine if we, Arsenal and United all ended up in the Europa League...

I see that happening. Neither team are winning away in two weeks. Utd will be lucky to get a draw

[zolayes 14,489]

Both Mancs were very poor tonight

English teams will always suffer in Europe. Its the price for having too many games and a waaay too competitive league...

[DYC. 7,542]

Utd should be ashamed. The difference between the two teams in terms of quality is gigantic. PSV's first XI players aren't even good enough to be squad players at a top side. They lost Depay and Wijnaldum in the summer as well. Willems isn't even playing. Same goes for Lestienne. That's their left flank.

Massive credit to PSV. Talk about punching above your weight.

I cringe at the type of football they play. Very slow, annoying, no wingplay, no chances created... I know we are in a bad time but I wouldn't want our better times to be like that.

[Jase 43,479]

Chelsea v Porto, Olympiacos v Arsenal and Wolfsburg v Man United in two week's time. Should be fun.

We only need a draw to qualify. Arsenal must win by at least 2 goals OR a 1 goal margin of 3-2 or higher to go through. United have to win to guarantee qualification. Otherwise, they will have to rely on the result in PSV v CSKA Moscow.

City, on the other hand, look set to finish second in the group. Juventus only need 1 point against Sevilla to seal first place.

What games? FA Cup hasn't started so you're talking about League + League Cup games, of which there have been two I think. Too competitive doesn't make sense either. Everyone has a hard time winning bar Barca, Real, Bayern (and PSG). And even they often experience a tough time over the full 90 min but mask it with their firepower as they are capable of scoring at any time and score 3 goals in the space of 15-20 min. They trash teams in the CL as well.

English teams suffer because they're normal teams nowadays, capable of winning or losing any game. Which wasn't the case in 04-09.

We of all people know what that's like.

I love how LvG can play "archaic" football by throwing on Fellaini and telling his wingers to lump it in the box.

But when David Moyes does it, he has 'small club mentality' and Rio Ferdinand (or whoever it was) says that Man United deserve to play better football.

And LvG has been at united for 2 years now.

Got to love that hypocrisy from United fans and the media.
