GWT: CL Match Day 3

[Evilo]

Ospina quietly had a great game.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What a midfielder Arthur is, commanding presence for Barcelona.

That's the right word to describe his style...

 

[Evilo]

Moussa Diaby has brought more in 3 minutes than ADM throughout the game, on both sides of the ball.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

BVB is the best team in the world

dont @ me

 

[PeteWorrell]

Jadon Sancho is the best supersub.

 

[maclean]

Basically, a Napoli player, left all alone by ADM, shot the ball without much danger, ball was bloced by Marquinhos and a Napoli player, ball came down to the Napoli player's foot who shot in the corner from 6 meters. Tough unlucky goal, but PSG's goal was also lucky.

Still have to wonder why Di Maria gets so much faith the way he's been playing last couple of years. Every now and then a moment of brilliance, but otherwise...

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Stunning result for Dortmund.

Brilliant.

My idea too. He gets praise din the media because he scored or assisted in blowout L1 games.
But every single big game, he's nowhere to be found. Tuchel likes him, but he needs to watch a replay of this game and especially the last goal.

This is very concerning game for PSG. They got completely shutout tactically tonight by Mister Carlo. They were toothless, without any inspiration. Except for the first 15 minutes of each half.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Big test whether Dortmund's shenanigans will work playing against a superior opponent for once

Haha guess so

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Suarez has had a remarkable turnaround to where he was a bit earlier in the season.

That's the right word to describe his style...

LOL you're right, not the right word, "controlling" the game for Barça is more like it. Inter's tried pressing him but he recycles possession effortlessly

 

[Evilo]

Meh we just got punished

and there it is

 

[hatterson]

What a curler by Di Maria

No I agree with you...

And yeah, Suarez played good today. Let's see him keep this up.

 

[BB88]

I know Di Maria scored but Neymar is the star for PSG today, the only one doing something, only one who seemed to want to score.

 

[Evilo]

Draxler tried to cut a Napoli player in half there. Yellow, could have been red.

 

[Il Mediano]

Mannnnnnn.

Gave up the lead twice.

Neymar and Rabiot. Marquinhos was good too.
Rest was crap.

My hottake was that Atletico will win La Liga, but Simeone has got to be on the hot-seat after that type of performance. Not sure players are buying into what he's selling since they haven't been amazing in La Liga either.

 

[maclean]

Meh we just got punished
@maclean

I feel like he does it every time I start to really doubt why he's still on

 

[Evilo]

Tell me about it

The team has outgrown him for some time now... people just don't want to realize it.

Also he ain't that great.

I think he tends to play a bit too conservative and defencive at times considering the amount of talent he has on the squad. I get that BVB is having a good campaign thus far and cannot be taken lightly, however, Atletico should've lit up that back-line. I am not saying they would've won, but the game should've been a shoot-out at least.

Jardim would be an amazing replacement for him. Diego is clearly surviving by his CL reputation alone nowadays.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

That was a thoroughly great performance by Dortmund. Maybe not 4-0, but we were the better team by a few goals. The first half was prettty even, but we definitely shaded it. They had one 15 minute spell of good play to start the second half, but the last 30 minutes were domination. We were playing too quick and Atletico looked very tired.

Diallo, Witsel and Hakimi were great. Simeone was completely out-coached by Favre. The narrow formation was dumb by Simeone. It gave Hakimi so much space to attack down the left. I hope Goetze also earned a bigger role after this game. The third goal was essentially his goal with how influential he was in that play.

 

[Ducks76]

For me is Dortmund beside Liverpool the strongest team in Europe in the moment.
