And, we’re off.......2018/2019

PSG are an awful team because they have class players who play with no class. Constant surrounding of the ref, play acting, dirty football. I know people will say that this would describe a lot of teams, but for me, they are the worst.

Reading on BBC sport about how Liverpools attacking force is not clicking at the moment. How defensively they are a stronger unit, and they are but the Liverpool attacking force is not the same as last year. Now don't get me wrong, I don't watch Liverpool every week so I don't know the answer. But let me chuck this one into the discussion pot. Is it down to Liverpool? What am saying is that When Pep won the league last year he knew he had to have a plan B, he thought teams would sit back more this year and for that reason he bought Mahrez, who he felt had more skill and ball control than Sterling. It has proved to be the case. Teams have sat back. When City played Liverpool, a game in which they nearly nicked. Pep never let his full backs get forward, when they got forward last year, the gaps created were ruthlessly exploited by Liverpools front three, played in by balls from there midfield. Are Liverpool suffering from teams sitting back and not giving Liverpools front three space. Liverpool are doing more then ok in the prem, but Champs league not so. thoughts me dears.

That just seems to be the way in most European leagues now .............................. and it's pathetic.
In fact it's been like that for decades and I still can't get used to it because, I think, it's not so bad over here.

Haven't Barca topped the group now? If they field a reserve team, I think Spuds have a chance.

This is what I was thinking! Or perhaps, hoping. But yeah they can only come top so they will surely rest a few players. And we still have an outside chance that Inter will slip up against PSV which will make our lives easier.

Agree......Columbia in the world cup were shocking also.

City were lucky not to be 3 down at half time so tactically can’t agree there.
Thought Marhrez was awful Tuesday.

As for Liverpool.
We sat to deep last night and there was far to much space in front of the back four.
The midfield lacks any creativity to many backward balls.
The front three havnt played well for weeks but the service to them last night was not good enough.

Salha was awful last night and has been off his game since his injury.
We looked better with Kieta on but can’t remember their keeper making a save.

I have always said Klopp has no plan B and it showed last night.
The ref let us down , that was a red card all day.
Gomez should be in the middle with AA right back and Lovren needs moving on.

 

[Orikoru]

I only watched the first half of City v Lyon, but Lyon missed two stonewall sitters in that half. Should have been 2-0 at least, and they had another good chance they hit the bar with. I was very impressed with them, for a so called 'smaller' European team. I think Ndombele and Aouar will both be at far bigger clubs in the next two years, they bossed that midfield.

😂 That’s actually embarrassing- we are ten points better off than we were last season at this stage 2nd and unbeaten only points dropped were away from home against Chelsea and Arsenal plus Man City - I guess when talking about big clubs he ignores stuffing Spurs.

We have had one poor game against Red Star -

Smiddy is a bit a joke

Anyone suggesting Klop

Haha, I actually found it hilarious which is why I posted it. Not sure if he was serious or on a wind-up. He has certainly presented a different way of looking at things though.

Also they could lose and still go through 👍

I thought that was a well balanced impartial view. 😂

Who’s this Smiddy ?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Wasn’t Keïta suppose to be the best midfielder in the world?
Kante with goals.
How many has he scored? 🤷‍♂️😳

Apparently he can’t cope with the English game.
Oops big problem there then.

But they’ve still got Fobinho 😂

 

[USER1999]

Nicely poached goal from Smith Rowe.

 

[USER1999]

Ramsey looking for that, got it, scored it.

I feel a song coming on

Good night for Arsenal and good to see the younger players getting some valuable experience. I think it's exactly the right method for trying to progress in the competition without totally ruining PL ambitions
