He's too intelligent for CL now too.
Mfappe must be bought, pure and simple. Give them all the Griezmann money, give them whatever they want.
Cracking game so far. Both teams can't defend to save their lives, but are great going forward.
The rest of the Caf, welcome aboard the Monaco hype train.
Never a pen, mates... Kun just takes off before the keeper and then looks for the touch while faling. Malicious at best.
Pep's high line and playing out from the back his downfall again.
Pure scouting. This is a very young team, with a few experienced heads. They sold most of their "stars" over the years and give chances to youth.
Jardim is a very good manager.
Monaco is too dangerous on the counter.
That was a great half of football
I didn't think it was a penalty because Aguero threw himself into the leg of the keeper when he could have easily avoided it and scored.
They've spent wisely on young players bought from other French clubs like Sidibe, Mendy, Bakayoko, Lemar etc.
If this had been the Falcao we had gotten, instead of the still fecked by injury one, sigh....
Agreed but he should have done that then, him trying to be smart made it dumb. Act normally and you get a pen, fall before any contact and it makes it a dive and a yellow.
This mbappe kid looks similar to henry.
We might be the only club still in Europe soon
So what would Wumminator say, how would Monaco fare in the mighty PL?
Brilliant match to watch.
Exactly! So damn true.
City
And Jesus yes, it was a dive. He does go down before there is any kind of contact and then he does his utmost to actually touch the keeper. This is the type of shit Young was doing and he was booed everywhere and got booked whenever refs had a chance.
Ligue 1 sides battering the best both Spain & England have to offer while consistently producing the best talent in football yet it's a pub League according to this board. 
If you listen carefully you can still make out the echos from the Stone Roses' gigs there last June.
Brilliant. We should poach their scouts, as well another 3-4 of their players
(If only it were that easy).
Put £1 on Monaco to win the first half 2-1 at 80/1. Happy with how that's gone.
I reckon Pep absolutely hates it there. It's great to see.
He will cost more than Martial. He has already done far much than Martial at Monaco. Let us break the bank though
Check the replays, keeper hit his legs clearly, was that you guys at OT there'd be 82000 posts about it, and check the replay Sterling was onside. No doubt Monaco deserve the lead but it was a penalty.
Why the feck did i have to go for a smoke and then missed the first two goals, and later having to go for a smoke to make me miss the third. Feck off.
Monaco are fantastic though.
Monaco are fantastic though.
Neither team can defend but the Monaco attack is lethal, if ever a team was built for Falcao it's this team.
Sorry to possibly ruin the romance but, aren't they really tight with Mendes?
Sign half the Monaco team please. Plus Jardim if Mourinho fails. Mendy, Fabinho, Bakayoko, Mbappe and Silva have really stood out today. Ones for the future.
Monaco has one of the top 3 best academies in France: we're talking of the club that launched some players like Thierry Henry, David Trézéguet....Martial, Mbappé, Lémar...Commentators are so fecking biased.
This Monaco team
@kouroux @Downcast
Am I right in saying/thinking that they've now built a better team after their sugar daddy sort of withdrew his funding (after being hit with a massive divorce settlement) and they sold most of their marquee players? Or have they simply just spent insane amounts on these players as wel?
Edit 2-1
Smart acquisitions in the last seasons: Mendy (Marseille), Bernardo Silva (Portugal), Gilk (Great at the euro with Poland), Fabinho many years ago...
Top academy. Top recruiters. Top coach
great work
You can't rely on City or Arsenal to represent us in Europe for sure!
Can we all stand back and appreciate the monster this Monaco team would be if they kept Martial. We need to get access to their conveyor belt.
City defense for the 2nd goal.
I'm so glad I decided to watch this. Also Jon Stones is fecking wack. I'm sorry. £50 million? Ffs.
The keeper hitting his legs doesn't matter as he was already diving before that.
