Only watched bits and pieces but they looked so much better off the ball, possibly because of that. 

 

Yeah, that's a fair point. They were really solid defensively.

A lot of graft. The last 2 CL winning sides they had 9-10 real grafters. Bellingham and Vini half graft which is fine when it’s just them.

God it would be fucking unreal if we ended up being the last PL team standing. Obviously extremely unlikely given Arsenal's result but still. Very happy to see four PL teams get cunted this week.

 

I'd love it if Gala knocked Liverpool out, but unless Liverpool go down to ten men I can't see it. They were lucky that happened in both legs v Juve and they still struggled over the line.

If they do it’ll be obviously class but for a hate watch there’s such a slim chance they don’t stab themselves repeatedly in the foot. Game management is absolutely non existent which tbf makes them a good watch. Just have to hope Osimhen bags early.

Name the 10 better 


In my opinion of course:

 

Kvaratskhelia, Yamal, Dembele, Salah, Doue, Saka, Raphina, Olise, Barcola 

 

thats 9, a year or so ago I’d say Rodrygo was better too, better finisher, better dribbler providing more important moments.

 

The point being Vinicius is a great player, but overrated as he’s not one of the best in the world from what I’ve seen of him.

Will England lose the fifth CL place if the Cartel all limp out in this round?

Highly unlikely, I think it's more or less already nailed on

Also would be fun, if nothing else, if we were the only English team not get beaten in these first legs 🤞😂😂

 

Ok, Us and Up the Arse then 😂😂

 

It won't happen because Liverpool will turn it around and we'll get beat but I would love it, just love it if Spurs, Chelsea, Man City AND Liverpool bite the dust and we progress.

Are we concentrating to much on corners and long throw ins in the EPL ? 

 

Maybe the top European teams have found us out.

Genuinely feel that 20 teams beasting each other week in week out will have this impact the further through the season you get. Meanwhile Bayern, PSG and the Tiki-Taka Touchers play large amounts of cannon fodder.

Yeh Vini is under rated. he has so many big moments and has been at the top for so long, it’s more memorable when he doesn’t excel. He has more scrutiny than any of these bar 1 or 2.  
 

He has 15 G/A in CL QF SF and Finals including 2 in a final - 1 winner and another to make it 2-0.  Rodrygo has 8. Salah has 13 having played at the highest level for longer. 

IMO:

Kvara - arguable. Vini Jr wouldn’t be able to live down 7 G/A in Ligue 1/La Liga in March mind. 
Dembele - as a winger? Nope. Never. False 9 he’s brilliant. 
Salah - not now.  Outside of his first season, he’s never been brilliant crunch time in the CL or for Egypt. But league football? He’s better consistently - flat Track. 
Doue - not yet, has the potential. 
Saka - love Saka. Doesn’t have the talent. 
Raphinha - nope never. Doesn’t have the talent. 
Olise - has to prove it consistently and in big moments.  He’s only 6 months younger than Vini. A year and a half smashing the Bundesliga an he’s better than Vini to you. His game will age well mind. 
Barcola and Rodrygo - never. 
 

As of today. Id take Mbappe at LW mind. Yamal. Kvara/Doue/Olise maybe one day.

I know they rotated but it feels like city shot their load against us. Madrid looked like the side with the most legs and work rate. That never happens [emoji38]

 

 

I think we made City look a lot better than they are, maybe because we are always fatigued this season. City have struggled to break down a lot of teams in the EPL.

Salah is finished as goalscorer like he used to be, and saka one of the most overrated players this last few years barely scores for been supposedly World class.
