GWT: UCL Matchweek 2 & 3

There's very little options available to replace him.

Laurent blanc comes to mind.

maybe they can poach rodgers form Leicester.

there are options.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Holy shit what a tackle.

 

[Peen]

i mean if havertz ziyech pulisic cho want to prove themselves, lukaku and werner being injured is the best chance they’re ever going to get..

 

[Blender]

Chelsea losing both their strikers today… rough

Brutal that we lose Lukaku and Werner in one game.

Pulisic is still injured. Should just play Havertz as a false 9 I guess.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

So this is not great from a Chelsea perspective

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Fred

 

[hatterson]

There's the Fred we know and love.

 

[les Habs]

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.

Yeah, I know you did.

Some similarities, more in their movement. A different example, but one I think about, is how when I see Pedri run his gate reminds me of Solskjaer.

I switched channels to United-Atalanta so I can't comment on Werner but Lukaku's injury didn't look that serious. I think he might be back soon.

 

[Jussi]

Laurent blanc comes to mind.

He already turned down Newcastle.

 

[hatterson]

That would have dramatically changed the game.

 

[cgf]

Not disputing that part. As of now, FDJ is a better player.
However, I would say in terms of talents, Ndombele is above. Talent doesn't make a career and clearly, Ndombele hasnt taken that next step after showing early what an immense player he could be.
But few players have his technical ability, all positions included.

Yeah, French-Draxler has a ton of skill

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Do you also struggle with reading comprehension? I don’t know how much more clear I could be.

Your words: "Neymar may be the best penalty taker ever." and then a post later: "He might be the best ever on penalties, at least from a subjective assessment."

Of course in the very same post, a few words later you say: "There's probably some guy in Malaysia with a 100% record that'll claim the best % rate, but Neymar is probably the best of the guys considered world class of the last few generations at least. "

Which is the back track of the century, given in that very same post you repeated your claim he might be the best ever at penalties. So then it's suddenly the best out of a group of maybe 10-15 players which runs directly counter to your previous claim *in the same post*. There's no reason to believe the best penalty takers in the world would be recruited from 'players considered world class' overall.

So in other words, before calling out the reading comprehension skills of others, maybe consider that the problem is the incoherence of your argument.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Well Rashford's finishing certainly hasn't gotten any more clinical during the time away.

 

[robertmac43]

At this point, I hope Ole stays, I like seeing Man U struggle to meet expectations.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Rique a headless chicken? I mean maybe doubtful but who’s to say he never plays lol

 

[hatterson]

Jokes on you, all us United fans expect this trash from this team at the point.

 

[hersky77]

That would have dramatically changed the game.

Newcastle won’t be a top job for years. So it makes sense for rodgers to stay away from that.

United is still United and I think rodgers would be persuaded to take the job.

maybe they can pry Southgate from the England job.

 

[robertmac43]

Isn't the goal to win? This would be an incredibly underwhelming appointment.

 

[The Abusement Park]

What’s the difference between any of the last 7 seasons? There isn’t one

Good god no. Keep Southgate the hell away.

 

[hatterson]

I would literally rather go back to Jose than to get Southgate.

 

[bluesfan94]

He already turned down Newcastle.

You'd like to think Newcastle and ManU have different levels of appeal, but I can understand why you would think otherwise.

Point was he's not moving anywhere. Plus Rodgers has a stench of failure and Liverpool in him.
