CL Matchweek 3

Oh.......Jan.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Ronaldo is pissed.

 

[Live in the Now]

Kjaer scores for Sevilla. Good news.

 

[hatterson]

What a joke dive by Vertonghen

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Sissoko has been good.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Sissoko has been good.

Very good. And Eriksen has been poor. Weird to see the team play well and him having nothing to do with it.

 

[YNWA14]

Like I said before this season started...I think this year is the start of where the English start becoming the dominant league in Europe again. Bought the right coaches and spending endless money that other leagues just won't be able to keep up with outside of a couple of teams.

...aaaand there's Salah.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Benzema's missed opportunities counter: 2.

 

[Live in the Now]

Loving Salah here. I am very convinced that Milner should play more.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Dortmund had better get three points today or they are in deep no matter the result in Madrid.

 

[Deficient Mode]

2 APOEL subs used before half time, one on the goalie. Not good for their hopes of enduring this if Dortmund get their heads in the match.

 

[YNWA14]

Loving Salah here. I am very convinced that Milner should play more.

If you can admit that he should be replacing Can, who is the only Liverpool player that looks poor, I can get on board.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Aurier giveth and then he giveth away.

UEFA made sure EPL teams go far : more teams, and easiest draws.
But they still can't compete with Spain's big 3. Good news for them is that Bayern has regressed, but PSG has progressed.
All in all, they can only claim one team in the top 5 or 6 : City.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

CR7, wooooooooooooo!

 

[shakes]

Lots of diving by Napoli. Either that or a sniper in the building

 

[Baxterman]

F'ing crap

But you knew Madrid was going to get the calls.

There's still a long way to go towards that.

City and United are really the only teams that can compete with PSG/Barca/Real/Bayern in terms of money.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Casemiro's tackle was just as bad.

 

[Live in the Now]

If Salah could finish a little bit better he would probably score 30 goals a season. Too smart getting in attacking positions and is obviously such a creative dribbler. Too bad he's an average finisher.

If you can admit that he should be replacing Can, who is the only Liverpool player that looks poor, I can get on board.

Wouldn't mind him replacing anyone really. He gives the team something they don't have. Tireless running, leadership, good crosses in from midfield.

Bayern is on the downswing I think; they'll still be very good but they won't have more money than teams like Chelsea, Liverpool maybe even Arsenal (and Newcastle with new owners perhaps?) while Real, Barca and PSG are on the same level as United and City in spending power, but other than those three teams the English will just have more money and they have more draw as well. Now they're actually spending that money, for the most part, well and getting in the right coaches to be successful.

 

[shakes]

I mean seriously, the slightest touch and the Napoli player goes down in a heap.

 

[YNWA14]

Really digging Liverpool's orange. Beautiful kit.

 

[Live in the Now]

Augustin has been a great signing for Leipzig. So much skill and potential.

 

[YNWA14]

Spurs unlucky not to get that penalty. Very clear call IMO.
