Not a fan of any of them.
Champions League Last 16 games - Feb/Mar 2015
- Thread starter Sarni
- Start date
Semi finals with the chuckle brothers up front, stuff City or Arsenal could only dream about.
So happy for Bayer.
Such a nice team and a great coach.
Big game, big win. Trouble in the last weeks but the CL quali still totally in their hands.
Cup to play for too.
Big for the Bundesliga. There are more teams besides Bayern and Dortmund. Bayer and Wolfsburg show it!
Brilliant stuff!

I thought he was a United fan if my memory serves me right.Warren Barton was having a meltdown there on the yank stream. Must have been a closet gooner
You played PSG not Lyon.
Kurzawa (was on the bench but returning from injury - first choice LB)
Toulalan (experienced DM)
Raggi (experienced CB)
Carvalho (experienced CB)
Bakayoko (young quality DM)
They had to play Fabinho (first choice RB) in DM tonight to cover Toulalan and Bakayoko.
Ended up with Chelsea buying half their team.
What the heck. Just saw Atletico lost. Well hopefully they go out, don't want to meet them again in the CL.
Great result for Leverkusen indeed. Be interesting to see if they can hold on to it. I really fancied Atletico to do well in the CL this season.
Great Mourinho touchline celebration from Jardim, hop n' skip version.
Falcao
Well he wasnt chuffed in the slightest, he was turning bright red under his fake LA orange tan
Put five (quids?) on Tottenham winning this weekend please
Mourinho bought Eto'o in the summer. How can you use that as an excuse?
He's just pro-all British teams so to have 2 losses and a draw in the first leg by the PL's top 3 teams is a nightmare scenarioWarren Barton was having a meltdown there on the yank stream. Must have been a closet gooner
Hold your horses.
Cheers. Wow, makes this defeat look even worse for Arsenal.
Desperation, he cant even get a game for Sampdoria now. Digressing anyway, im talking about Arsenal and Citys repeated failure to even get out of the groups or last 16. If they used some of the tactics employed by other more astute managers they might actually get somewhere. No way should a team with the quality Arsenal had today be losing so heavily at home to a decent but not special team.
You were lucky to get anything from that game.
And his gameplan of playing for a 0-0 at Atletico away from home cost you last season.
Just saw Bellarabi's role in the Leverkusen goal. Nice.
Hope Sanchez is enjoying his Champions League football
I just don't understand how English football has fallen so far, so quickly in Europe, is it the players, or is the managers?
Arsenal and City losing doesn't magically prove Mourinho right. There can be a middle ground between Arsenal's/City's stupidly attacking setup and Mourinho's 'wariness', to put it kindly.
A bit of both.
Cant be the players because Chelsea don't struggle in Europe. Even last season an average Chelsea team got to the semi final Under Mourinho.
And Arsenal fans were so glad that they did not draw one of the big ones this time...
Any more from Piers Morgan?
It tends to go in cycles, the Premier League simply isn't what it was a few years ago. La Liga is currently the best league in the world, but it'll be impossible to maintain that standard. Anyway, hopefully we see the Premier League improve on the continental stage by the time Manchester United are reintroduced into the competition.
If you look the matches of the other leagues you might be able to guess why. The EPL is far behind on all of the tactical trends - all is about physics and the individual. You see it with the commentators, too.
Souness can't even pronounce Monaco properly. Munacko I'm actually a bit shocked right now, I just can't believe how poor that was, probably one of our worst performances in Europe I've ever seen. A complete and utter embarrassment
They will miss 2 starters for the defence. And they are more of a "fight team" not a big scoring one.
If Bayer scores 1 they should go through.
If you want a new great United coach, look out for the upcoming Schmidt hype.
I really really rate him. His Salzburg destroyed my Bayern 3:0 in a friendly and we didnt have a chance. A winner in Austria and still very young.
I have every faith English teams will rise again if only through sheer brute force in the transfer market, but to see what we have this week is nothing short of shocking, the premiership will only last so long as the 'top dog' if this bile continues to be served up.
For me though it's a double edges sword I want to see non United English club suffer, and be embarrassed in Europe, but deep down I know we really need to see one of them step up soon for the sake on the Premiership.
Yep, definitely.
English football, for all it's brilliance (I still believe it to be the most entertaining league in the world), has been a bit hit and miss in Europe. It's never really taken to the Europa League, the seven years between '05 and '12 in the Champions League will be difficult to replicate.
Where's Jack Wilshere? Wasn't he on the bench on the weekend?
He was playing his usual position in the physio room.
His development this season has been amazing. Became german NT player and is the most successful dribbler in all of Europe's top5 leagues. His decission making and passing is still questionable at times but he is a constant danger for opponents. His rise as player is kinda similar to Reus' and if he improves a few of his weak areas he will be interesting for a bigger club.
Special mention to Subašić, he recently broke a clean sheet record in France and is a vital part of their defense.
I hope Arsenal turn it around in France. An exit at this stage is bad news for our top 4 fight.
