GWT: Champions League - MW4

[bluesfan94]

No rest for the weary (me) here. Matchweek 4 is here. Chances for a couple teams to go through and a couple to be eliminated. Probably. I haven't actually done any math.

Expecting (or hoping for) a bounce back from Dortmund after that embarrassment with Bayern. If they beat Newcastle at St James without Brandt and Ryerson then no reason they can't do it at home.

Looks like Dortmund is at the point where they'd rather have Süle at fullback rather than one of their natural fullbacks, besides Ryerson. Unless there's an injury I'm unaware of.

 

[JoVel]

Didn't even realize how many injuries Newcastle has.

It was around this point in the last game that I started to think BVB might get punished for failing to capitalize while they had Newcastle on the ropes...and then they scored.

Yeahhh that bench looks rough ... they need to score early because I don't see them well in the second half.

 

[erikhamren]

Lucky goal imo

 

[gary69]

Shakhtar take the lead. Barca hasn't been good at all.

 

[luiginb]

Newcastle should put Almiron in for Livramiento and Gordon for Willock and put Joelinton back into midfield.

 

[JoVel]

Adeyemi desperately needs something positive to build on... zero confidence in his play all season.

 

[sabremike]

What was the deal with all the crap thrown on the pitch in Dortmund at the start of the half?

Protesting Saudi money I assume.

 

[luiginb]

Sabitzer tonight reminds me of his Leipzig days, dominant.

Fullkrug looks like a bloke who lives in the pub and smokes two packs a day. Is dental care so expensive in Germany? haha

I know that's the "hip" supporters thing to do but to be honest if there were ever a club where I go " Yeah, you guys have had such a miserable century despite being one of the biggest clubs in your country so I'm fine with this" it's Newcastle.

 

[luiginb]

OMG tell me we'll see Karius again in the Champions League hahahah

 

[JoVel]

Brandt has been pretty poor.

Turns out it was a protest against UEFA rather than Newcastle, didn't see the banner on TV.

 

[JoVel]

The only two Dortmund players I criticized in this thread ended up making the deciding 2-0 goal happen. Nice.

 

[hatterson]

Huge win for Shakhtar to keep going for 2nd in the group.

Newcastle just desperately hoping for Milan to pull a miracle to stay realistically alive.

 

[gary69]

Yeah, it's a must win for Milan. But based on last weekend's loss, they don't seem to have much of a chance.

Can you start talking shit about Mouki next?

 

[luiginb]

Boo birds for Dollarumma

 

[Evilo]

Zaire Emery with the assist... RED HOT.

 

[JoVel]

Can you start talking shit about Mouki next?

He would need to be playing more for me to do that haha. I didn't watch the game against Hoffenheim in the Pokal where he got 90 minutes but he scored the last time he got a full half in the BuLi.

Wasn t that Marqui?
