Champions League 2022/23 - Matchday 3 - 4/5 October

[MrMarcello]

Maccabi pulll a goal back on a sublime pass and finish.

 

[The Firestarter]

I think it would be very hard for Copenhagen to get back in this game now.

 

[wr8_utd]

PSG has definitely lost all their early season momentum.

 

[hellhunter]

I think it would be very hard for Copenhagen to get back in this game now.

Matchday threads are always so knee jerk

 

[Lecland07]

James doesn't really have any weaknesses - could be the Balon'dor player of RBs if there was ever a prize for them.

 

[SirReginald]

Can’t believe people still want Trent over Reece.
It’s also a shut night of football. Nothing really interesting is happening

Honestly it’s really only the Liverpool loving media at this point. His own fans have called him out on his form and even his manager and somewhat had a thing to say about it.

 

[stefan92]

Brandt makes it 4-1, that should be enough.

 

[WeePat]

5 academy players on the pitch right now. Not bad.

 

[ZolaWasMagic]

I think its only really people with Liverpool allegiance, or people with soft spots for them which would pick him over Reece. Any neutral picks James id have thought

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Wow Messi let down by a terrible touch

You won't see that often

 

[wr8_utd]

Better touch from Messi and that's a goal there.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Juve 3

 

[hellhunter]

Rabiot scoring twice. The one that got away

 

[wr8_utd]

Subbing out Messi today is a strange decision. Been the only one of the front 3 who has turned up.

 

[Markolan]

3 assists for Di Maria tonight.. Man still got it

 

[avgp_1]

Neymar is out of sorts after that bright start this season

 

[marktan]

Has Reece James ever played as a wide forward or a forward? Or even a midfielder? His skillset is so complete that I think it'd be interesting to see him further forward.

 

[GatoLoco]

Madrid has had 36 shots today. More than one shot every three minutes.

2-1 FT.

RJ definitely has played CM under Tuchel in some matches.

3 in the back suits him much better since he has more freedom going forward. Same for Chiwell.

 

[SirReginald]

Has Reece James ever played as a wide forward or a forward? Or even a midfielder? His skillset is so complete that I think it'd be interesting to see him further forward.

I believe he has played RCB, RB, RWB, DM, CM and RM at different points in his young career.

 

[Idxomer]

PSG's midfield is still underwhelming despite all the signings last summer.

 

[TheMagicFoolBus]

Has Reece James ever played as a wide forward or a forward? Or even a midfielder? His skillset is so complete that I think it'd be interesting to see him further forward.

Yes he's played as a RM, as an 8, and as a 6. Also as a RW in desperation for us at times.

As it happens RWB is seemingly the ideal position he can play for us to best take advantage of his attacking skillset. I'm not trying to be OTT here but if you were to pick an XI of 11 clones of the same player, I'm not sure anyone beats Reece James.

? Everything after the first goal they were dominating the midfield big time

Verratti probably MOTM tonight

 

[SirReginald]

Excellent performance. Not the most exciting match but kept the shape well and killed the game when Milan were disorganized. Other than 1 big chance they never looked like scoring either. Hopefully our upward improvement in performances continues.

 

[WeePat]

Leao started the game like a runaway train but soon as James started defending him aggressively in the second half, he ceased being a factor in the game.

 

[André Dominguez]

With just two men covering the defense and with the lack of tactical defensive help from the front trio, it is impossible for them to win the Champions League.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Lopetegui has been sacked

 

[GatoLoco]

Lopetegui has been sacked

It was a matter of time I guess.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

has been linked to the Wolves job

 

[PedroMendez]

poor Wolves, but he fits their awfully boring style.

 

[P-Ro]

Has Reece James ever played as a wide forward or a forward? Or even a midfielder? His skillset is so complete that I think it'd be interesting to see him further forward.

He played as a striker during his first few years in the youth team (he joined when he was 7) but I think that's quite common with many of the best players, regardless where they end up playing on the pitch. After being a striker he played in midfield for a few years then finally got put as a RB at 15.

You're forgetting a certain White Pele.

 

[Lay]

Lopetegui has been sacked

Thank feck. Sevilla are unrecognisable

 

[Bepi]

Hopefully, with our best players back in the rotation, we will have something to say about our group next month… provided that we win in Israel next week.

 

[Lay]

Really enjoyed that Di Maria assist. Such a talented footballer.

 

[Idxomer]

Juve are trash, can't get hold of the ball against Haifa and are already one goal down.

 

[The Firestarter]

What a hit

 

[V.O.]

I think our lot in the absolute pits of last season would still stuff this Juve side. They've looked abominable every time I've seen them for a good while now.

 

[Hakara]

I wouldn’t mind knocking Leverlona out again

We fecking did it. A bit late to post this cause I was celebrating.

Imagine taking credit for inter's work
