PSG play with no semblance of teamwork. It’s all individuality and the attacking players have hardly any support at times. When they do overload areas they look much better.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
They are not robots, it is an emotional support
(Support? Sport?)

They can show emotion… and walk away at the same time, or even within a few seconds would be good.

Don’t confuse emotion with being a bunch of babies and deliberately slowing the play … football free kicks are taking as long as rugby scrums. Penalties 2-3 minutes.

Came just to say on the basis of last few matches I watched him what a player is Adeyemi. Direct, fast, powerful, full of tricks. This is what an elite winger should look like. He is giving Hakimi who is an elite wingback all sort of troubles in last two games. Basically in this game we have on display a few elite wing players in Dembele, Mbappe and Adeyemi. When they take on a man they usually get past him. And then you think about our sorry lazy ass bunch led by Rashford, Antony, Sancho and you are on the verge of tears. Adding to that club of United stature having to field veterans in Evans, Casemiro, Eriksen is borderline incompetence on club's players acquisitions part. Last but not least regarding Sancho and all english media d**k riding of his displays with Dortmund. Give me a break. He can look fancy, he can hold on to a ball but that's it. Can't get past his man, can't defend, he is a luxury player and one of the last things United need at the moment. Whoever bought Sancho and Anthony to the club should be criminally prosecuted with intentional harming of the club. And in the end if you see that players of Sabitzer and Sancho level can play effectively on this competition level hats off to the coaching staff of Dortmund.

Was a bit silly considering it was a second tier competition that barca fell into, and we treated it like a cup final.
Barca took that tie very seriously as well though. Would have been a launching pad for most clubs under a new manager

Imagine Sancho and Sabitzer win the CL while the club that didn’t want them can’t get into the conference league
