Champions League 20/21

Imagine having this much talent and not able to buy a win in the CL, Zidane is done.

Looking at who he did play I don't get why he didn't play Hazard,

City's 3rd goal - looked off to me.

Yeah and this is what Ferdinand said, basically it's an empty gesture and there's no progress being made.

If you keep doing it over and over it looses merit anyway.

Personally think its being totally overdone.

Midtyland should have tested Allison there. Free header in the middle of the box

 

[Shadydan]

Yeah sure, but looking at their team it's really not all that. How many would get into our side? The centre backs, right back, that's about it.

On current form no but if those players are playing up to their potential they should be doing a lot more...and this is actually my point, Zidane isn't maximising their potential for whatever reason and a lot of them are playing under par.

 

[Mr Pink]

The striker of Midtjylland on the bench, Pfeiffer, played for the club i am working at and helped us getting relegated from the 4th to the 5th german division just 3 years ago ?

Hope he bangs one against Pool

He had a real chance with a header there..got it totally wrong though.

 

[spurs mental]

Midtyland should have fucking scored

I know he's had an injury but Hazard has been a really poor signing. He's 30 in January and only made 22 appearances last season scoring just once.

Madrid and Barca have really blown their recruitment these past couple of years and I think gone are the days where they could just pick up the 4 or 5 best performers from around Europe. There's too many clubs with more power nowadays, too much talent around, clubs are now able to ask for 100m plus for their star players (pre-COVID) also other clubs have got much better recruitment strategies and at developing talent. It seems to have put them in a desperate situation of having to get the likes of Hazard or Griezmann before the other club get there.

They both well and truly took their eyes off the ball.

I reckon Liverpool are good for at least 6 goals tonight.

I start to doubt that.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I start to doubt that.

My forecasts never fail to amaze me with their stupidity.

 

[philll]

D'aww, Walker and AVB having a natter.

 

[taidgh]

A few musings: Madrid out of jail, sadly. The Atalanta v Ajax game looked a cracker - end to end stuff. Joao Felix is some player, he saved Atletico on his own almost. Another jammy pen for Salah. Shame as Midtjylland could've had a draw.

For a team that shouldn't really be in the CL I reckon City might go all the way this year, the bar seems to be set low.

 

[TheTanguy]

Ajax' Gravenberch is really a midfielder to keep an eye on, only 18 years old.

 

[slartibartfast]

AVB's gran is from Stockport... that's random.

Sounds like something Martin Tyler might bring up in one of his fantastic match commentaries lol.

You sure they didn't say Stockton? I have some recollection of him having a northeastern twang to his English.

It’s almost like Ossie Ardiles was ahead of his time.

"Yes, Tottingham will be playing a 1-1-8 formation."

 

[rez9000]

Well I am black as well, it ought to bother me but it doesn't, I see it as a campaign like let's kick racism out of football, I mean what do these campaigns/gestures really do when the repercussions are never that serious anyway.

Not to get too off-topic (and I admit I made a comment about it elsewhere): the movements are important (whether they're effective, well-judged is neither here nor there). But any corporate involvement is nothing but a mixture of virtue signalling and patronising pandering.

"And Kane passes it to Son and the South Korean passes it to Ndombele. Ndombele whose parents are from the Democratic Republic of Congo which is a nation that has 25 letters in its name. Gary, didn't you once use 25 letters in an email you sent? I remember that day, it was a Thursday. Spurs of course haven't won on a Thursday when there's been a full moon shining during the third week of February since 1947."

Was it "live" ?
