Champions League - last 16 ties

[Tinto]

It's the reason away goals were introduced in the first place as an incentive for the away team to attack. Wenger and his mob then campaigned for them to be abolished after suffering from them a few times.

Not learning from history

The problem was compounded back then as you could back pass to the keeper, so away sides would just mess about on the edge of the box, give it back the keeper, rinse and repeat. Regardless it's a stupid retrograde step to take away goals out of it again. Anyways, I doubt it'll effect the way we set up, as we're not wired to play for nil nil.

Yeah, but we’re wired to fuck up against teams who are set up for nil nil.

...so we still need to go and get as many away goals as poss. Tonight for example. We're the ones now more likely to sit back given the change, but we won't

Let’s go all young Mike Tyson and get them out of there as quick as possible. Blitz them early get loads of goals and coast the rest of the tie.

I think we’re gonna go Khabib instead. Start with a disciplined formation, keep the defense and lines tight then gradually dominate in possession and wait for that opening from Inter to make a mistake, then pin them onto the ground fast and strangle the life out of them.

1-0 or 2-0 win.

Watched the highlights of PSG and Madrid. I never really watch any other football, even highlights but I think this Mbappe is pretty good. Better than I had expected. We should sign him.

No shit we should sign him. Problem is he wants more than what Salah wants. We can't afford him.
