Pre Match Pre Match - Lille (CL) - Tues 20:00

[Athens]

Opinions on David?

Michaelangelo's finest work. I don't know why you're asking this in a match thread.

Jinx?

 

[Dreambeliever]

This is the issue with playing so many games so close together. Not good losing Jones.

 

[Athens]

Jinx?

Michaelangelo is dead, Modo. Thanks for reminding me.

 

[Shadey]

Sooo close salah

 

[Dreambeliever]

Jones ok. Phew!

 

[Dreambeliever]

Everything right until the finish

 

[Mojo]

Ooooh, close from Mo.
Did the hard stuff well but messed the finish up

 

[Modo]

Fucking hell! Wonderful take down. Terrible finish

 

[SummerOnions]

Almost an amazing goal that... What a ball by Diaz

 

[SummerOnions]

Whoa where did this playmaker Diaz come from??

 

[Judge Jules]

Michaelangelo's finest work. I don't know why you're asking this in a match thread.

I prefer the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Billy Connolly has a routine about two Scotsmen in Rome who at one point visit the Sistine Chapel and one of them says "I wonder who papered that ceiling".

 

[Frogfish]

3-7

Ok I think a goal should be worth 5 points but there were a couple more, a wasted pass and a cross so to end the half it's :

5-9

Imagine.

One of my favourite things is popping in at HT and seeing what shite has been posted. We've been pretty boss. Just controlling it like prime 80s L'pool, and then boom.

 

[Frogfish]

Q has done well. As has Diaz, Jones, Bradders and Tsimi.

 

[SummerOnions]

One thing... Remember when Tsimikas joined and he was absolute honking shite? Now look at him

 

[doctor_mac]

Big plaudits to @Modo for not being the one giving Jones shite before he made a lovely assist. *tips cap*

 

[Squiggles]

It's been a decent performance. It started to open up as their energy levels dropped. If the same is true in the second half then the forwards have a good chance at boosting their numbers.

Lille have played well, but the defence has mostly got them contained.

Was he ever? I've always thought he's a solid back up and maybe more.

 

[Dreambeliever]

That would have been a delicious goal for Salah, did amazingly well.

1-0 HT, great finish Salah who was poor otherwise.

Great to have Bradley back and Quansah playing well.

 

[Modo]

Fair and balanced

 

[Dreambeliever]

Jones off, sensible.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Terrible that Salah, if you take that option you must score.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Gravy off even better!

 

[Glen C]

Gravy off even better!

only if he's not injured. Seems strange to take him off already.

 

[Frogfish]

Oh FFS. 5-10

 

[Modo]

Poor the Endo

 

[Glen C]

quansah should have scored.

 

[Modo]

quansah should have scored.

Yeah should have focused more on the ball and not the Lille player

 

[Modo]

Think the plan is to sub Diaz and Salah next.
Nunez plays 90 mins
