GWT: Champions League Matchday 5

[Aladyyn]

The silver lining is, we've strung together 2 good performances and look way more dangerous with Rashford on the right. This season will be a success.

 

[Jussi]

It’s f***ing weird to be trying to go for the game but take off Rashford.

and there’s game.

He'd been holding his shoulder for a while. The one that's been bothering him for a while. He might have to be rested for a while

Good win to win the group. Should definitely play a bunch of youth in the last game.

 

[robertmac43]

Lol Giroud has 4 goals today and Laca has 3 all season . You cannot make this stuff up.

 

[Jussi]

And because he was kept on they had no like him on the pitch.

That's more on the ref though, who had a terrible night. Not saying I wouldn't have subbed him off but options are limited and would have probably required formation changes that otherwise wouldn't have been needed.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

@Duchene2MacKinnon @Vasilevskiy @les Habs, who is this VAR clown Hernandez-Hernandez? I hear Barca fans despise him.

He gave Lazio a free goal. Brutal call. Not even Lahoz thought it was a penalty, and this guy with a double name commands him to call a penalty on one of the worst dives you'll see all season.

6 on the year for Giroud now in 10 total appearances (most of them as a sub).

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Favre has the touch of an elephant. Takes off his goalscorer and arguably the best player he has available right now. Replaces him with arguably the worst player he has available right now. That player proceeds to give away a penalty, and misses a great chance two minutes after giving away a goal.

I want this guy gone. He's wrecked this team for years now.

 

[Aladyyn]

It sucks that Fred got sent off but he's earned Ole's trust.

Group H is crazy, all comes down to the final matchweek. Hopefully Leipzig beats Manchester United.

 

[hatterson]

So I think that United now need a draw in MD6 to advance. I believe they'd lose a head to head tiebreaker with PSG so a PSG loss doesn't help them.

Man Utd advance with Win or Draw. Leipzig advance with a Win OR a Draw and PSG loss. I think.

I think United are in Europa if they lose, no matter what.

Some blind ref not surprised he's doing this. Lahoz still worse though.

 

[Venkman]

Frustrating result given the good performance after the first 15 minutes. Stupid by Fred, and Ole for not taking him off. Martial is f***ing annoying, needs to be benched. Fernandes wasn't great either.

 

[hatterson]

Bummed I missed the entire game. Will have to catch highlights later.

Me to people badmouthing football: "Well, I get your point, but it's not THAT bad."

Football: "Haha, here's Jack Graelish pretending to take a bullet to the ankle after slight contact to get his opponent sent off for nothing. Everyone sees it on TV, but it doesn't have any consequences whatsoever!"

Me: "Okay, that's bad. Fortunately we don't get that all the ..."

Football: "Wow, here's Paredes acting as if he got kicked-boxed in the face after a light jostle by Fred. Smart move. This is totally not hurting the integrity of the game, in fact it's part of the game. The beautiful game!"

They really need to crack down hard on blatant diving.

Matchday six is going to be insane

So many of the matches are direct competition for one spot.

Atletico - Salzberg
Atalanta - Ajax
Lazio - Brugge
United - Leipzig

All of group B lol

PSG is the only team playing a team that is completely out of it.

Yeah the ref had a bad night and was inconsistent. One of those incidents to me was not taking Fred off with the early headbutting offense, that was a straight red for me.

I normally make a point of watching every Chelsea match, regardless of stakes, but it's gonna be hard for me to pick it over some of these other matches

 

[Savi]

Big result for Brugge. Noa Lang scored again and continues to impress, as did young Charles de Ketelaere who jeeps showing his versatility. Played LW two weeks ago, LB last week, and false 9 tonight

Everything to play for in Rome next week, and nothing to lose. We've already secured a Europa spot, finishing 2nd would be fantastic.

 

[Lambo]

VAR is ridiculous! This project is failed. Abolish this.

 

[Cloned]

At this point it's not even if you'll get a bad VAR call in any given match day, it's how many bad VAR calls you'll get in any given match day.
