I'm a giant Berghuis fan and still am even if he broke my heart by going to Ajax. Can hardly blame him either, he just fits there.

Harsh! He's a great manager who has found a style and system that works. Athletico were brilliant on the counter yesterday, everytime they attacked it felt like they would score. Bar the red card and alisson making some fantastic saves, they would've won. Plus I enjoy his mad man antics on the touchline
You are spot on. And frankly even with ten men, they created the better chances.Harsh! He's a great manager who has found a style and system that works.

But my point is that he isn't really unleashing his side. Their attacking play at times was sumptuous. The way they carved us open was brilliant.
But they seem restrained. 31% possesion for them yesterday. He has put together a great set of attackers. With an attacking manager they could be seen as one of the best.
Salah was never on either club’s radar. That’s the main reason. They still attract the biggest talents. Just ask Mbappe, Camavinga and co.
To be fair, everyone beat us at Anfield last season, even Burnley
Bayern, City, and a more routined PSG. Chelsea was handling them just fine until that red card.
They are very good but they allowed a quite poor and injury decimated Milan to score twice (Liverpool almost went 1-3 down) at Anfield.
They will concede chances come Sunday. The important thing is not to give them too much time on the ball.
I honestly couldn't care less about him before his transfer, but he has shown he does fit and performs very well within the team. I think he has grown since joining (and after playing with the national team) and ten Hag knows how to enable him.
Btw, must say I much appreciate and respect your attitude btw. Lots of Feyenoord fans I know who don't have the same sort of grace and fair and semi-objective assessment making as you do as they'd be too petty and too jealous to stomach an international Ajax victory, let alone enjoy it.
Also have to admit I thought Overmars' ambitions for Ajax to join the big league teams on a competitive level to be a little unrealistic if not downright silly half a decade ago, but must say they've done a brilliant job managing Ajax
Hehe, I can be plenty petty honestly, I just prefer lighthearted banter over bitter hatred and come on, who outside of Dortmund would not have enjoyed this.
I think the difference is you'd know when you'd be petty and get over yourself easily, whereas others would take it waaaaaay too serious. :P
Kinda curious how much this trashing was appreciated in Germany though. I'm sure there was some cheeky laughter in Münich.
Can’t stand that team and mgr. He’s a bitter Scarface drug lord lookalike who ran down the tunnel away from shaking hands. Red card then a penalty then a non penalty is what he deserved. That said, a very good manager and wouldn’t mind him at Liverpool when Klopp leaves.Harsh! He's a great manager who has found a style and system that works.

Wrong thread guys, Leicester is not in the CL
Why is Leicester playing on a wednesday when they are in the Europa League?
I dont watch much Spanish football but is the camp nou always this empty.
Probably to do with Lokomotiv Moscow playing Galatasaray
Adeyemi 1:0 against Wolfsburg after 3 minutes.
Took Salzburg 12 seconds from winning the ball till scoring....

1:1 after a corner, error from Salzburgs keeper Köhn
Pique gives Barcelona the lead.
Kiev might be the worst side I’ve seen in some time. They’ve been abysmal which says a lot about Barca considering it’s still only 1-0.
Salzburg 2:1 Okafor
Covid restrictions still in place? Looking at how people are spread out, it has to be.
Whilst I agree we weren't at our best against Chelsea, if he doesn't handle the ball on the line, it goes in and then it's 1-1 with 11 players each on the pitch.
I struggle to see the argument for 'they couldn't score against 10 men' though. A well coached side will make themselves very hard to break down if they're down to 10. The change tactics and generally sit back, happy to take a draw. As cliche as it sounds, sometimes playing against 10 can be harder purely because of the mindset of the team where they naturally become more compact.
We haven't set the world alight in terms of play yet this season, but we're sitting nicely in the table and if we can iron out the issues we have at the back, we'll do well this year. Not sure if we will win anything, but we've certainly got a chance.
Salzburg 3:1 Okafor
All Bundesliga teams can potentially lose in this round. Wolfsburg have been horrendus in an easy group, Leipzig have been stripped of their players and manager but it looks they won't even get a Europa League spot. Dortmund have been really disappointing up util now, though it's still likely their qualify for the next round.
Salzburgs manager Jaissle with his 15th wins 2 draws and Salzburg will win this match too. Ole should ask him how to do it.....
Leipzig has Marsch as manager, he is just not good. Was not good at Salzburg and will be a disaster in Leipzig.
Frenkie De Jong is a top top player, never lose a ball, never stops running, and very good passing range
I'm sure he will give him a call if he's ever desperate for a match plan against WSG Tirol or Hertha Wels.
Next up united/Atalanta with united starting a real strong attack. I just have a feeling that if he loses this then again to Liverpool he is 100% gone so for once I am rooting for Ole and united to walk over Atalanta.
Marsch was bad at Salzburg? I thought ht did well there.
Barcelona just about get the three points. I wonder if they'll make it out of that group or not. Two of their remaining three games are away.

Nothing like a bit of modesty.
Leipzig were the better team by a margin yesterday against PSG though
I mean, it's awful and cringey. But we weren't allowed to celebrate the CL win properly so we get a pass.
Being the better team means also converting some of those big chances...
Fair enough.
