GWT: UCL Draw and QF First Legs

[Savant]

Awful take

Maybe second half has been better. Got pulled into a work call

 

[cgf]

Musiala unlucky that bounced a bit too heavily.

They look so much better since bring Leroy, Leon, & Niklas on...despite Neuer trying to give away the 0-2.

 

[Live in the Now]

The only thing he said which was somewhat accurate is that he possesses more athleticism than technical ability. But he doesn't play like and is rarely utilized as a 'classic number 9' so I don't know where that's coming from.

He also followed the statement by saying Nunez was stiff, which is super weird and couldn't be further from true.

 

[Savant]

I think Bayern eeks out a win.

Not exactly a hot take

 

[Savant]

Unless he scores this game, no coming back from that miss. Likely to be unforgivable. Every other top striker is putting that straight in the goal.

Video?

 

[Elvis P]

How long is this HT? An hour? I watched the entire 2nd half of Fulham during it.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Not exactly a hot take

Well it's looking more and more likely I was wrong lol

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Bale getting minutes... not sure he deserves it.

 

[Canes]

Benzema is just incredible. Will he ever slow down lol

 

[Savant]

Well it's looking more and more likely I was wrong lol

There is still a L O N G way to go

HOW DO YOU MISS THAT VILLAREAL

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

They look so much better since bring Leroy, Leon, & Niklas on...despite Neuer trying to give away the 0-2.

They're not going to get anywhere by only playing those (mostly poor) long diagonal balls. Villareal too content to stall the winger with it and force them to dump it back into the center.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Villareal had 2-0 right there and completely bungled it. Wow. That would have been a colossal dagger.

 

[Peen]

Pain

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Huuuuuuge win on the road for Real Madrid.

Let's finish this at home.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Chelsea are OUT

 

[cgf]

Holy gushing-forehead Batman.

 

[AB13]

Nunez is a lot like Cavani running through channels. Which I think is a classic number 9.

 

[cgf]

They're not going to get anywhere by only playing those (mostly poor) long diagonal balls. Villareal too content to stall the winger with it and force them to dump it back into the center.

Sane was finding plenty of space to flow them forward, and when they're coming at you in waves like that, it's usually just a matter of time before they start getting their touches perfect & pouring them in.

Villareal's win wasn't undeserved today, but they will need to be even better in the 2nd leg, to hold on.

 

[cgf]

Villareal had 2-0 right there and completely bungled it. Wow. That would have been a colossal dagger.

They had a few golden chances to give themselves more of a cushion, it's hard not to feel like they'll come to regret not taking them.

 

[Gecklund]

The only thing he said which was somewhat accurate is that he possesses more athleticism than technical ability. But he doesn't play like and is rarely utilized as a 'classic number 9' so I don't know where that's coming from.

His agenda that he admitted to.

 

[Burner Account]

I think Bayern eeks out a win.

I don’t think they’ll eek out a win. I think they’ll feed Villarreal their lunch.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Lol all the EPL fanboys and "expert" pundits kept talking about how Madrids midfield was "too old" and it would be an easy win for Chelsea. Madrid is the best team in the world and Benzema is the best player in the world. As PSG found out in the last round, history and prestige >> oil money.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

As for Bayern, they aren't that great this year. Obviously on their day they can destroy anyone, but defensively they can be exposed by the best teams. They get by in the BuLi because it's a crap league and have been gifted cupcake draws in the UCL, but they will get torn apart by Liverpool.
