GWT: CL Matchweek 1

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

who the heck is fati?

A defenders worst nightmare

 

[Burner Account]

I love watching Virgil play. His passing is so fantastic, he's so calm and just almost always seems to be in the right place.

Watching van Dijk bring the ball from behind him to in front of him is one of my favorite sights. I can't articulate it right now but you know exactly what I'm talking about.

 

[YNWA14]

Mane's touch was too heavy there, and he should have cut it back but I think he felt pressured after the initial poor touch. Firmino and Salah were waiting.

 

[Live in the Now]

There are some tackles/interceptions here by Fabinho that can be described as amazing. Constantly taking the ball off their players.

 

[Live in the Now]

That could have been a penalty. Mane should have peeled off the defender to receive a pass too.

 

[koyvoo]

That time Salah should’ve gone down.

 

[YNWA14]

Mane then does give the perfect lay off to Milner and...that shot oy.

Yep, I'm not a fan of his playstyle but he's been fantastic so far.

Would have been a perfect opportunity for a Matip near post OG snipe (tm)

 

[YNWA14]

Matip just keeps giving the ball away. Yikes.

What did I tell you lot about Genk and Praha type of teams? They don't belong in a mighty tournament, but there is one team that does...

Nobody cares, off to the Europa League thread with you

Sounds like the Super League

Fikayo Tomori kicks ass

No offence but Genk is getting their asses handed to them by freakin' Salzburg (not Barca/Pool/Munich), three goals in the first half alone.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

i think alcacer is gunna have a concussion

 

[koyvoo]

Surprised Bobby didn’t look for one of the 2-3 very open options there.

 

[YNWA14]

Is Koulibaly allowed to grab Mane's face there? Seems a bit much, even with the embellishment.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Kovacic gives Willian a worldly of a pass and he skies it over the bar. Willian's looked great on the ball today, but his end product has been brutal

 

[YNWA14]

Promes seems to be getting more settled with Ajax lately.

 

[Havre]

3 goals a half is decent.

 

[YNWA14]

What a play by Firmino and Mane there. Imagine that was Wijnaldum and not Milner.

 

[Live in the Now]

f*** that was a good chance.

 

[hatterson]

Is the audio for this game brutal for anyone else?

Alternates from sounding like I'm listening through a pringles can, to the announcers mumbling, a mostly normal for a minute or two.

 

[koyvoo]

All 5’2” of Mario Rui’s frame was needed to intercept that one.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Erling f***ing Haland man
