GWT: UCL R16 Second Legs (current events talk in First Leg thread)

[hatterson]

Dalot would be so much better as a wingback where he had less defensive responsibility. He's decent going forward, but absolutely lost defensively.

 

[Venkman]

Live I thought it was a foul on Elanga but replays showed they both put arms across each other and Elanga went down.

Shite defending after that though. Dalot covering 3 attackers. Maguire stepping forward but not intercepting then Varane trying cover.

United played quite well.

 

[Juve]

That is pretty standard from Atletico.
All games versus LFC they were dominated and relied on key moment to score goals.

I know that's Atletico's game. I just find it funny.

 

[Savi]

Maguire is honestly hilarious to watch half the time

Someone paying him tens of millions to play football is really one of the great mysteries

 

[hatterson]

Simeone ball in absolute full force here.

 

[The Abusement Park]

That’s a joke of a whistle there.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Telles set piece delivery is so good. Oblak is probably going to win Athletico this game.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Benfica about to be everybodys dream in the quarterfinals.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Why why why was Rashford brought on? He shouldn’t be anywhere near a pitch right now.

 

[koyvoo]

Bruno Fernandes with yet again another world class performance vs a good team on a big occasion. Like clockwork.

I didn't mind any of the other subs, but Elanga off for Rashford is an atrocious sub.

 

[Jussi]

Bruno Fernandes with yet again another world class performance vs a good team on a big occasion. Like clockwork.

He did assist United's equalizer in the first leg.

 

[Canes]

Classic Atletico performance

 

[Savant]

Benfica up into stoppage time. 7 additional minutes. Didn’t watch a second of the other game

And Benfica is through.

 

[hatterson]

Classic Atletico performance

Yep. Come with zero intent to do anything but bunker and hit on the counter. Pretty routine Simeone ball.

United didn't have enough quality to break down the bus.

 

[Juve]

I think Ronaldo's decision to go back to ManU was a fantastic one!

He's an even worse version of Allegri

Has-been player on a has-been club.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I’m so glad that we don’t have to play Atletico on a consistent basis. I’d lose my f***ing shit every time we played them.

 

[hatterson]

Also credit to the ref, he didn't call a foul with the slight push on Elanga early and he did fairly well to maintain that standard throughout. Couple decisions I disagreed with, but for the most part he left little pushes and contact go.

 

[robertmac43]

That was an insane save right there
...

 

[robertmac43]

Great result for Benfica. Nunez never coming to Brighton now lol

 

[hatterson]

Yea I think that was just offside, but it was really close and of course the keeper can't know that. Excellent strong hand.

 

[Venkman]

Atletico way too savvy for United.

Sancho quiet all game. Rashford awful off the bench.

Just a shit season.

 

[Chimaera]

Just avoid Atletico in the next round please

A friendly reminder Arsène Wenger has won a trophy more recently than Manchester United. He retired four years ago.
