GWT: UCL Matchweek 2 & 3

[Peen]

It's def less of a pen than the other one was

Honestly felt the inverse

I thought this one was the right call and the other one would have been weak lol

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Take off Rom, not worth risking.

Great pen from Jorg, totally emphatic

 

[Brunkmeister]

Haha Malmö.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Glad to see we're doing better against this Nordic team than we did against the one on Saturday

 

[hersky77]

Does united fire ogs after this if they lose. Or do the glazers give him the Liverpool game on Sunday

 

[Evilo]

Benzema is dumber than a bag of hammers. Rather shocking his career has panned out as it has. Can't imagine he's completely innocent this go round or any other.



Well color me shocked. After you declared Ndombele top 5 last season and the way you ride Frenkie... Anyway, Frenkie off to a slower start this season. Ndombele seems to lack the commitment to get to the next level. He's still young though and it could be in part his managers too.

And while I have you, you keep referencing Guendouzi and the headless chicken thing, though I didn't say it, but you did say the same about Riqui! Blasphemy really.
It's "Frenkie". I don't wanna read anything about autocorrect or whatever else.

See, that's a lot of crap for someone asking for "context" in every post.
I posted Ndombele was a top 5 MF RIGHT NOW when he was in peak form. I never argued he was over the season obviously. And I never "not" rated FDJ. I said he needed to do better at one point last season. Again, context.
Yes Riqui can run everywhere as a headless chicken. Color me shocked you don't see it. I also said IIRC that it was maybe to his lack of playing time and him wanting to prove everytime he came on the pitch.

As for Benzema, it's a classical case of someone becoming rich and keeping his childhood friends trying to pocket money through him unfortunately.

There's very little options available to replace him.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Jesus f***ing christ

 

[hatterson]

So incredibly weak by McTominay. Just let the attacker push him away to open a free header.

 

[Peen]

Yeah, I was having this convo the other day.

They’d want some offensive minded coach who wants to dictate the whole game.

Conte is really good but more regressive than Tuchel idk

Also leaving him in place to get demolished by Liverpool gives them a really easy excuse to fire him.

Blanc would be ideal imo. Don't see a chance of it happening though.

Ronaldo blocked Conte two years ago at Juve so it's unlikely.

Maybe he doesn't care, but his Qatar club is sucking.

When's the last time Blanc coached anywhere? If he's so good, wouldn't he be working?

Never liked this argument in a broader sense

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Reading some of the comments, Liverpool are one of the best teams in the game again this season, but yesterday's result has plenty of context that shouldn't be ignored.

Benzema is dumber than a bag of hammers. Rather shocking his career has panned out as it has. Can't imagine he's completely innocent this go round or any other.

Take the result really. Sadly it doesn't sound like they played well, but expectations should be low with Koeman.

When you know him as well as I do it’s Frankie

Best coaches are working at top clubs, not sitting at home or Middle-East.

We also lack a lot of players that would fit Conte’s system. Aka we don’t have anyone who can play a wingback role except for Telles really.

Take it easy, I'm not calling you out.

I never said otherwise about Ndombele nor did it characterize it otherwise. I also never said you didn't rate Frenkie. I said you ride him and you do. What was odd though you saying Ndombele was top 5 and then riding Frenkie who was fantastic last season and easily top 5.

The point was I see some similarities in Guendouzi and Riqui and I think it's odd to say it about one and not the other.

As for Benzema, at the end of the day he makes the choices.

600 degrees of separation huh.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

United going to spend £150M on Rice next summer after watching Fred and McTominay tonight.

 

[Evilo]

That's an awful argument.
Anyway,
Blanc wanted to take at least a full year after being fired from PSG.
He rejected multiple big teams because he didn't want to take over during a season.
Then he simply didn't have offers because football is like this.
Then his historic assistant became a head coach himself, raising question as to how Blanc would fare without him (legitimate questions IMO).
Then he filed for the Lyon job. And he interviewed because it was between himself and Garcia. And then something happenned that nobody understands. Lyon chose Garcia, absolutely underperformed, sold/lost some of its most promising youngsters because Garcia didn't want them (Gouiri, Kalulu, etc...).
And Blanc decided a few months ago to sign with a Qatari club (where he's not performing).

Blanc might be past it, totally possible. But this is also a guy that made PSG play great football (something they never achieved regularly since), had them have the most dominant seasons ever in L1 and took a mediocre Bordeaux team to L1 champion, CL QF, winning a CL group unbeaten with Bayern and Juve (5 wins, 1 tie).

Chelsea losing both their strikers today… rough

Totally agreed about choices. Just saying unfortunately, it's highly common.
The top 5 was very much a flavor of the month and I said so at the time.
Douzi is IMO very different from Riqui.
