Midweek CL Games

You somehow managed to get Firmino in to this thread as well

Yes, totally by accident

Just trying to see if context and comparison helps you out, using a player you think is amazing vs one that is 'overrated', and yet have rather similar scoring records

Still, possibly unfair, given one plays in midfield

 

[manwithnoname]

Yeah, I guess. Just that there seem to be something about his attitude that will stop him becoming an excellent player.

Like what?

Yeah, "accident"

Thoughts on Spurs game:

• Don't see how Dier will replace Wanyama when Alderweird returns.
• Kyle Walker was terrible defensively.
• Don't want to jinx it - but I don't see the same Alli from last year. Something is off.
• Janssen - for being a tank - flops an awful lot. Hope the refs figure that out soon enough.
• Really like the look of Bayer's CB - Tah.

Nah, he has that bit of bite needed to make it. He scores goals from midfield, he can pass, tackle, shoot - the lot. He's going to be a top class player for years to come in my humble opinion. Wish we'd signed him.

 

[manwithnoname]

*slowest clap ever*

 

[Oliver Twist]

Yeah, "accident"

Don't feed it...

Yeah, agree.

Watching Spurs last night was strangely satisfying. Some of the errors Sissoko made, especially in the first half was pure comedy.

He kinda seems like a blueshite.

I think the blueshite were trying to sign him in the summer, if I remember correctly.

my point precisely ... he aimed too high.

Spurs looked horrible last night. Funny to watch their fans leave with 15 minutes to go.

Yeah. Although when you've suddenly got 50,000 more fans going to the match, you are probably getting a few more casual observers, who just don't fancy public transport with a huge crowd, so want to beat the rush.

I don't think I'd like it if I was a Spurs fan.

That said, White Hart Lane is a total cunt to get to and from aswell. I've left a game at that ground with 20 minutes left.

There were several contributory factors though

 

[cloggypop]

Manchester United are losing

 

[the count]

Moussa Sow showing Rooney what a worldy bicycle kick looks like

 

[cloggypop]

Shinny ones are much better

 

[the count]

Ask Ronny Whelan.

 

[jon545660]

Pogba injured?

 

[manwithnoname]

That goal was ridiculous. Haha

 

[C/O]

I'm not even surprised.

Which is a welcome surprise.

 

[cloggypop]

Pogba injured?

He decided to take himself off

 

[cloggypop]

Nice demoralising defeat here with loads of bruises and abuse from an Istanbul crowd for 90 minutes followed by Swansea away. Lovely.

 

[cloggypop]

They look very very angry.

 

[Hansern]

They look very very angry.

The Utd fans, Mourinho or the Fener fans? Or everyone? I hope its the latter.

 

[jon545660]

I might take myself off later.

More the United players. Everyone else does as well though. Crowd sounds horrible. I don't blame them though. They are watching Manchester United.

 

[C/O]

Zenit 1-1 Dundalk.

Unbelievable effort, again.

 

[cloggypop]

Ha ha!

 

[cloggypop]

De Gea was shite there. Boss free kick though.
