GWT: CL Match Week 4

[bleedblue1223]

Right off the face lol.

Stupid foul to give by Alonso on that one.

Ajax putting the boots to Chelsea

 

[hatterson]

I thought an OG was only given when the shot wasn't already going on target? If so, the first Ajax goal shouldn't be an OG, even though it went in off Abraham.

 

[Savi]

Excellent header from Samatta

 

[koyvoo]

Genk completely dominated in the half draw level off their first corner which came after their first attempt on goal.

 

[StevenF1919]

Lauturo is insanely impressive.

 

[S E P H]

Lol, Dortmund is the Ederson of clubs. What a mighty fall, but I saw it like ten years ago due to them being a feeder club which everyone keeps disagreeing with me for some odd reason.

 

[hatterson]

Brutal officiating at the end of the half.

Ajax didn't have a ball to kick the corner, ref for some reason gets upset they're going to slow so he decides to blow for half 5 seconds early.

 

[YNWA14]

Lyon will do well to hold onto Memphis past this summer, and I'd be shocked if a top, top club doesn't take a chance on him at this point.

 

[S E P H]

Lauturo is insanely impressive.

He's Bergkamp 2.0.

 

[Peen]

Mount has done f*** all for weeks now. He was amazing at the start of the season.

Kovacic and Jorgi have been good. Tammy was unlucky at the front post; all season he has consistently cleared the ball from that position. Pulisic has seemed the only attacking threat.

We've been really good under Frank after halfs where we have played poorly. Expecting a good performance here.

I'd go with Reece in for Aponso.

I'd put James on for Alonso.

IIRC United have a buyback clause for him. Not sure if it's an amount or a right of first refusal.

 

[YNWA14]

For some reason I thought that buyback clauses were illegal in France or something. I hope he doesn't go to United. Can't see him leaving Lyon for them in their current state.

Getting RLC back will be big to give someone to rotate in for Mount. RLC at full-strength is a better option too IMO.

Meh, Liverpool wasn't that great either

Yea I'm not sure. A quick google search turns up results about it possibly being a right of first refusal (possibly at a set price) clause versus an actual buyback clause.

No they weren’t clinical, and they lack a much needed killer instinct in general but they had 14 attempts at goal before Genk had their 1st.

Shots are 15 to 2 and 75% possession in favour of Liverpool. It was a pretty dominant half. They weren't clinical, as you said, as they could have easily scored at least 2 more if they'd been more composed, but it's funny how often it is that defending teams score on their only chances.

 

[hatterson]

I'd put James on for Alonso.

Good call

Totally agree. Frank listened to my Reece sub haha.

Zouma with an insane run LOL!

Very few of those 15 shots were actually dangerous

 

[hatterson]

Ridiculous run by Zouma, but then he showed why he's a CB with that finish lol

 

[Peen]

I'd buy a goalkeeper over any other player honestly.

Kepa out. He's nothing.

f*** I love Reece James.

 

[koyvoo]

Hakimi gets one back for Dortmund

 

[YNWA14]

Beauty turn and goal from Ox.
