GWT: Champions League - MW 5

[gary69]

Simeone puts Napoli ahead, but red hot Rodrygo levels immediately with a beautiful shot.

Oh look it's Kai "Most useless signing in football history" Havertz again.

 

[robertmac43]

Kai has arrived.

Oh look it's Kai "Most useless signing in football history" Havertz again.

You can tell by the number of Chelseafans commentating here now.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Starman Hakim Ziyech single-handedly taking down Domestic Violence United. What a life.

 

[gary69]

Bellingham can't be held back, another goal for him.

You can tell by the number of Chelseafans commentating here now.

Does this mean he is farmers league level?

 

[Brunkmeister]

How the f*** did we lose against this team?

 

[Evilo]

Lens look completely lost, even if Arsenal misses nothing.

 

[phisherman]

Men against farmers

Don't be so sensitive. Just ribbing you a little.

 

[Evilo]

Don't be so sensitive. Just ribbing you a little.

Me too

 

[Evilo]

So pen or no pen?

 

[Evilo]

That one is an obvious pen. Raya punched the guy who headed the ball.
And now post.

 

[gary69]

Bellingham twists his ankle, but is able to continue at least for now.

 

[Evilo]

Tough for Lens. Arsenal were absolutely perfect for 30 minutes and then Lens started to crawl back into the game, should have had a pen on that Raya foul and then hit the post. But they're down by 4 still since they couldn't score in their dominant minutes when Arsenal was scoring at will in theirs.

And 5.... wow, that scoreline is way harsher than it should be.

Feels good to have luck on our side again. Very interesting adjustments to our formation from Bjelica. He played Roussillon as the left-sided CB in our back 3 so that Gosens could push forward almost like a winger, with the backline shifting to a back 4. Tousart continues to be a bum, but otherwise I like this shape.

 

[CuuuJooo]

Yes it's also true. Newcastle players were toasted early. Lots of injuries and suspensions so it hurt them.



Tonight was the largest differential between xG and actualy goals in a CL game since Opta measures it (2013). Unreal.


I think they do extremely well relative to the talent of their squad. I would invest in talented players for Howe before changing him. He has earned the right to try to coach a top talented team.

To me, his team is still overachieving.

I don't for a second think we deserved to win that game (thanks, Pope!).

But I also don't think that was a penalty. Unless the defender chops his arms off, how does he avoid making contact with the ball there?

 

[cgf]

Kai has arrived.

Selfish jerk. He needs to save his goals for the NT.

I don't think so either (which I wrote 2 or 3 times already, but some people refuse to see it). And I added that if that one was whistled, the previous one too.
But those get whistled all the time in UEFA competitions was my point.
You can't have guys here saying it's scandalous while not saying a word in the Kimpembe mess (because their team was involved) or even in the first Newcastle game where Bruno should have seen red and one goal had an obvious handball.

DW when he plays for Germany he becomes the second best LB in the world behind Davies.....

 

[Jussi]

Except one is the starting keeper and the other a rotational midfielder.

I think you missed the point. United fans get the reference better. Performances, position doesn't matter.

Les croissant Francais avec une ligne haute ...lolll

 

[Satan]

We are so f***ing back

I watch United all the time and get the reference perfectly. It does matter because it's a damning indictment of Onana. Fred you could laugh off Fred being Fred due to the position. Onana every gaff has major ramifications. So if you're saying your starting keeper is the ultimate Jekyll & Hyde player, then you need a new starting keeper, full-stop.
