Wonder if Poch coming back makes Kane stay

Yay, Allegri...again.

Wonder if Poch coming back makes Kane stay

I don’t understand why either party would want to try again, so soon. Why would anyone think that the same manager, with more or less the same squad, would be different now?

that the same manager, with more or less the same squad, would be different now?

Only way I think it works is if there's a true clear-out similar to how there was when Poch joined the first time around.

How likely is that though?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The Euro Super League would never.

The away goals rule is awful, so good.

You’re awful. ESL4LIFE

Football if @Hollywood Couturier was in charge...

I hope that you were able to be back in UK at some point when this advert was released @CanadianFlyer88 aha.

Even though Metro lost last Saturday I made a new friend, and really isn't that the important thing???

I feel bad for Werner

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Citeh look like shit.

Chelsea may rue these Werner misses.

He is in form. Already spurned TWO clear chances

Definitely ballsy by Pep not to play a defensive midfielder when Stones is one of your center backs

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Chelsea deserved the lead. Citeh looks incredibly weak at the back.

Are you saying it’s not normal for a fullback to be left to track a run right down the middle of the pitch, while your team is playing with two center backs, and the offensive team is playing a false #9?

Guardiola with another comedy show in CL.

Change tactics that worked, no DM, no one in box.

Great manager but f*** does he overthink big games.

Gundogan as a DM in biggest game of year and out of form Stirling pushibg Foden out of position?

Even as a City fan Ferguson was twice the manager he is...

This has been an extremely shitty 7 days for me, but yesterday was beautiful. A much needed ray of light in an otherwise very dark time.

@Appleyard I'm completely baffled by that selection as well. I fully expected Tuchel to be the one to outsmart himself based on the last few weeks, but Pep really bottled this one for you guys.

Also, some of the previous posts in this thread are looking extra bad right now.

Chelseas players also executed to perfection.

Kante and James were a joy to behold if took my sky blue glasses off for a second.

Azpilacueta and then Christensen with his cameo did an insane job too.

Not like City did not get ball or get in half. But the Chelsea defence and midfield smothered them when they did and blocked a lot of shots and crosses.

And hope that this CL win is the start of a faaaaaar better next seven days man.

Whatever was going on I hope it's soon in the past and better days are ahead. Congrats on the CL win, would not have expected it earlier in the year but there you are.

Newport absolutely robbed for the second time in a playoff final. English ref blatantly deciding the game yet again.

It's an absolute travesty. It's blatant cheating. Nothing will ever get done about it. Football f***ing sucks.

No VAR for this game? All comments say the foul was outside the box.

Not for this league. Not only was it not a foul, but it was clearly outside the box.

Newport were denied a stonewall penalty by all three refs when their goalkeeper literally punched Bennet in the head.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

So, uh...USMNT?
