UEFA Champions League 18/19 Matchday 2 fixtures (2nd - 3rd October 2018)

[GhastlyHun]

Ajax equalize

 

[KirkDuyt]

Ajax not bad at all so far.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Bayern on the other hand are shocking.

 

[VorZakone]

Bayern very underwhelming.

 

[Peyroteo]

AEK are awful. Benfica should be winning by 4 or 5

Bayern very underwhelming.

It's our new level.

 

[Major]

Valencia are quiet shite TBH.

 

[VorZakone]

It's our new level.

Not happy with Kovac?

 

[GhastlyHun]

Not happy with Kovac?

Pretty much everything going as I expected. It's not just the appointment of Kovac, also our transfers. The entirety of it amounts to an announcement of retirement from the top of the competition and making the Bundesliga interesting again, by becoming average.

 

[ken11]

For heaven's sake... get one SOT, PLEASE.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Pretty much everything going as I expected. It's not just the appointment of Kovac, also our transfers.

Bayern just seem old... Ribery and Robben were great, but surely they need replacing?

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Valencia's decision making from the flanks is poor.

You might be on to something there lol

 

[KirkDuyt]

Ziyech is having a good game, so is Neres.

 

[Peyroteo]

I’d really like to know who was the Valencia employee that decided it was a good idea to buy Piccini to be their starting rightback

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Dzeko with another. Wish we had a Dzeko.

 

[ken11]

Bailly is made of glass isn't he...

 

[carvajal]

Carvajal injured.They had a bad start,and again my reiterative posts demanding minutes for Mariano and Vini

 

[Sphaero]

It does feel quite a bit like the good old complatency Bayern used to get in certain years in the past. Their transfer dealings were not only uninspiring but IMO downright risky. Their squad depth is really not much to write home about.

 

[George The Best]

What on earth has Lukaku done so far? Lost every header, beaten with ball at his feet, no movement etc, etc. I’d like to see us play without him with Rashford and Martial up front. Doubt it will happen as Jose always likes a lump up front. Chelsea loanee Batshuayi having more influence for them than Lukaku.

This is all true but he's so fecking isolated, this obviously doesn't excuse some of his play but you really can't expect much when your striker is getting this level of service. At Everton he had all the same weaknesses but was scoring goals (because he was being fed!) so it was less of a big deal.

 

[NieThePiet]

Maybe Bayern finally will get their punishment for their transfer politic.

 

[Attacking Midfielder]

It's our new level.

You will win this game in the end, but I have to say I'm very proud how my team (Ajax) is playing this game. I know we don't have the quality of a team like Bayern, but we're not scared and try to play football.

 

[Peyroteo]

United-Valencia has been a terrible game of football by both teams.

Valencia’s decision making in the final third has been atrocious. The likes of Guedes and Rodrigo seem like they’re playing with no confidence.

Not a surprise there are no goals since Mourinho and Marcelino are the managers but this has been awful. Can’t even think of one good chance.

That Bailly effort was memorable.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Huge chance for Ajax, Tadic fumbles it.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Another big chance..

 

[dwd]

Lyon playing behind closed doors? Did I miss that?

 

[Sonny1972]

If Ajax keeps missing 100% chances , they gonna pay for it .

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Lyon playing behind closed doors? Did I miss that?

Punishment for beating City.

 

[George The Best]

Lyon playing behind closed doors? Did I miss that?

Think we should be if this is called entertainment!

 

[WhyAlwaysWe]

Noticed myself the lack of people at the Lyon's game, too.

Watching at the moment Man Utd - Valencia, it hurts to support Man Utd these days.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Lyon two down now.

 

[Seven Seas Sardines]

Punishment for beating City.

Not allowed to let in more fans than at Emptihad.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Roma with another

 

[Adisa]

Real Madrid going exactly how I thought they would under Lopetegui.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

AEK equalise against Benfica.

 

[giorno]

If asensio doesn't wake up soon we're royally fecked until Bale comes back. Benzema and Lucas V should be dropped for the next 100 games or so

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Lyon get a goal. Dembele.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Kluivert scores for Roma.
