He's by far not my dream player but anyone describing him as a simple tap-in merchant is either biased or not to be taken seriously.
I felt it was sort of obvious I wasnt really serious when I said Weghorst could score 36 goals too if Ten Hag just told him to stand in the right place :nervous:

So who's going to beat City this year and who will give them the best game? Personally i'd like to see Bayern give them a good drubbing
Real would beat them. Real's European pedigree beats any team before they even get on the field

Who else has scored 5 goals in a game against Leipzig then? Must be a few if this is about them, not Haaland.
None of Haaland's 5 goals was a good well worked goal, 1 was a pen and the other 4 were all complete mess-ups from the Leipzig defenders, the Leipzig goalkeeper,or both.

None of them will make goal of the season, that’s for sure. But very few players are in the right position as frequently as he is. It’s not chance, it’s skill. He’s ridiculously good at it. So for the original poster to say that those 5 goals are a reflection on Leipzig, not Haaland is just incorrect. Other supremely talented strikers would have scored less.

Sergio Conceicao has aged very, very gracefully.

Porto playing with all the intensity of a dead slug.

Someone should tell them they are 1-0 down and there's only a few minutes left.

It's not incorrect as it's my view on it. You can choose to disagree but I would never say you're incorrect, it's how you see it and I just don't. Leipzig were fecking trash, a joke of a performance

Inter is terrible but so are we, this is probably the worse squad we have since 2001 or something.

I would have a pop at Leipzig for that but I think we might get a stuffing tomorrow night so I'll leave them be.

Three big chances for Porto in injury time to force extra time. 1 off the line, one off the post and the last one off the crossbar.

Two Milan sides into the last 8. Hypothetically speaking would either be good enough to win this seasons Europa league if they were in it?

First half was decent, pretty fast paced. Second half was a whole lot of nothing and then Porto had a goal cleared off the line and hit the bar and the post in the space of a minute in the 94th minute :lol:

Probably yeah. But you could question a few other UCL last 16 clubs too.

they'd be among the 5 best teams in the competition but nowhere near Arsenal. Still, juventus are in it and might win, and they're not better than either. 4 best teams in EL are arsenal, united, juventus and roma right now...
