GWT: CL Matchweek 2

[Juve]

His cross to Ronaldo on the weekend for the goal was also perfect.

Yes, yes it was!!

Ronaldo had to get one didn't he

Spursfans gonna see Gnabry making soup in their sleep

Tottenham won the xG battle 1.69 to 1.27 though, that's all it matters.

Spurs reminding me a little of Arsenal back in the day against Bayern. Love that former Arsenal man Gnabry got 4 on them!

Also feeling silly for saying I'm not scared of Bayern early, they looked scary today, like really scary...

Legend status met for Gnabry!

 

[Epictetus]

That Club Brugge striker lol

 

[Halladay]

Stop it with this rumor.

That must have been Higuain's best game in years.

Not really. Contrary to what is often shoveled about here Higuain is a very good player.

 

[phisherman]

Btw f*** Tony Pulis.

 

[Blender]

Not really. Contrary to what is often shoveled about here Higuain is a very good player.

Except last year with Chelsea where he was absolutely dreadful.

 

[Cassano]

Not really. Contrary to what is often shoveled about here Higuain is a very good player.

Yeah I remember him being unreal when Juve knocked out Spurs.

I remember last season when it wasn’t impressive that Liverpool beat Bayern because they weren’t as good as those teams.

This Bayern team isn't as good as the one in the past. This game just showed how bad Spurs is.

If you hate Wenger you’re a dumbass.

You can roll with that as long as you admit that the CL win wasn’t impressive

Beating Tottenham wasn't. Said that all along.

Rest was.

This Bayern team isn't as good as the one in the past. This game just showed how bad Spurs is.

This Bayern team is younger, faster, healthier and deeper than the one Liverpool faced last season.

Lucas, Pavard, Coutinho, Perisic are all quality players - with Lucas and Pavard absurdly versatile so you don't have to carry around 4 unhappy CBs (and Javi can play there).

They also have a healthy Tolisso now and so far Koman's been healthy as well.
And a healthy Neuer.

Last year seemed to be a transitional year for them and they still got won the domestic double, even thought they never really looked in it against Liverpool.

This year though, they seem to have their mojo back, Kovac has 2 systems that seem to work and they look a genuine contender again.

 

[Chimaera]

They look better, though they’re still taking a bit to get up to steam. They just need to stay healthy

Savage from Martinez, though Gnabry did get it back.

Also the narrative that Liverpool beating Spurs in the final isn't impressive is a little strange. Tottenham/Ajax had to come through Real Madrid, Manchester City and Juventus. Liverpool snuffed out Tottenham in the final and completely stifled them but they were no less worthy than other teams in the past of being there based on their run and performances in the CL. At that point domestic form really doesn't matter.

I'm also not sold on this Bayern team being much better than last season. They were a strong team last season and are a strong team this season. Coutinho is talented but I doubt that he makes a difference in the really tough games against the top teams. Tolisso didn't impress me and Neuer looks far from the best keeper in the world he once was. I think 7-2 is a bit flattering to Bayern even in that game, tbh.
