UEFA Champions League 2018/19

Ederson is getting away with just how awful he was for 2 of the 4 goals we scored across the 2 legs.

Can only imagine the outrage if it was Lloris.

Yeah first goal was a howler

Fair to say sterling is world class these days

I honestly think we lose 3 or 4 nil on Saturday. We were all in today and still lost in reality and got battered.

Poch could easily rotate the squad considering we play every 4 days now to the end of the season. Concede this and focus on the remaining very winnable ones. Regardless of the result top 4 would still be in our hands

Selection will be interesting

We ain't got much in reserve at the moment unfortunately - plenty of injuries at the wrong time. Sissoko will be a big loss and his only replacement looks to be 18yo Oliver Skipp. Harry Winks might be fit again but unlikely.

Like you, I think we get taken apart on Saturday. Sorry Liverpool fans.

Strange last few pages.

Lot of sooks on the soccer board, never fails to turn into a shitfight, every single ****ing thread lol

 

[Guerrahappyteam]

Still a bit of a money bags team though when you look at what they paid for their players. It's not like they are Ajax..

Bollocks.

If he played in Spain he would almost be being talked up for the world 11 and top 5 in the Ballon d'Or

I tend to agree but I think the rest of our games are winnable so we should be able to tie up 4th spot from here, otherwise we'll just have to win UCL.

From Sissoko in L'Equipe

I was on the bench when I saw the goal that made it 5-3," he said. "I was so upset that I returned directly to the dressing room.
"I was alone, no-one had accompanied me, no TV screen was broadcasting the game. In my head we were eliminated. Then one of the staff members entered the dressing room and told me: 'Incredible, we did it!'
"I said: 'How did we do it?' At that moment, he told me that the goal had been disallowed. So I put on a t-shirt, I forgot about my injury and I ran outside to join the others, not to miss the celebrations for such a historic moment. It was an incredible, emotional shock."

Citihad were favourites too

Citihad were favourites too

Citeh were heavier favorites than ajax, think ajax have a hell of a lot of momentum behind them though, kinda like the dogs in '16

they have so many brilliant young players that wont be there next years, de Jong already signed with Barca

a few 18 year olds in their team, I just wonder if that may go against them

Then ajax will require an unprecedented free-ride from the referees, unmatched since Barcelona against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge circa 2009.

 

[Blueboys11]

Both ties a coin toss for me.

Would be more confident if Son was available for the first game

Will never forget that semi-final where bonti tore your club (specifically hodge) a new one, was probably the best game i've been to, didn't get to the gws or sydney games unfortunatley, i was around a bunch of cocky hawks supporters then they witnessed bontempelli's greatness.

Its refreshing to see a club that hasnt spent a cent for a couple of years knock off the biggest money bags in sport.

Is Peps reputation a bit tainted with his UCL failings without Messi?

I think until he wins another one, there's always going to an asterisk next to his name in terms of where he ranks in terms of all time great managers. He has failed to make a final in 6 attempts, with not too shabby teams. They are very difficult to make. He still has plenty of time as he is a young manager but it's something that he would be aware of.

Klopp has similar questions asked of him, he makes finals he just can't win them

Think klopp is the better manager tbh

You rode on the umpires coat-tails all the way to the 2016 flag.....and every fair-minded AFL follower knows it.

Doctor Gero would Lucas Moura miss that goal from Rashford? More goals this season than the greatest English player ever?

No way was I answering that before this morning.

I think even staunch arsenal supporters in london love son heung-min
