Depay, Sancho scoring. Mkhi, Darmian, Alexis Sanchez all playing...
Can’t fault him for lack of confidence I guess
Sabitzer also was playing
They don't have any natural finishers do they?
The way they play this season they shouldn't even have made it out of the group stage, so who knows...
They do in the league! It's pretty weird
Yeah, I think them and Barca are nailed on to be knocked out in the next stage, unless they face each other
They proved less disfunctional than Milan and Newcastle(and PSG) at the time....it was evident PSG were light years better and Milan were a clearly superior side too, in potential
Today it's really weird, they gave the ball time and again to Thuram and Lautaro played almost as mediapunta. They also played the game thinking too much of the advantage
I think Atletico just outplayed them honestly
The worst of the lot.
Sanchez, Damian, Mkhitaryan, Depay and Sancho all played today in CL last 16.
Moved on because "we needed to do better"
Ehh, I’d argue you did well getting rid of them. I’m asuming you want back to the glory days and have the best players. Mistake has been replacing them with more mediocre or shite players.
I don't know what is "better" anymore. Money wise they are definitely not better after leaving United for sure.
Oblak is worse
Not when we played them
Well if the takers are shite enough you can make even the worst keeper look great. Look at Raya yesterday. He is terrible at penalties but Porto just happen to be absolute garbage at penalties.
Is he still doing that "if I dye my hair light enough, people won't know I'm bald" thing?Davy Klaassen's hair
Manchester United have always been the problem. these players were bought for a reason، the club just doesn't enable individuals to reach their potential.
Raya looked great to me in the penalties. The Porto players didnt take them perfectly but the shots were quite precise near the post imo.
It took only one round of KO games to prove that it was the right decision to get rid of the away goals rule.
His save % before that on penalties was 11%. In the prem he is awful at them.
Arsenal get outplayed by City pretty much every time they play them. Liverpool I'd grant you, even Spurs. They're a good team but untested in the CL so really there's a lack of top depth in the CL currently. Inter are one of the better sides but even then they're not really that good. Teams like Barca, Napoli, Dortmund are a mile away from being good. Hell even Bayern are worse than older Bayern. So really it just leaves a lot of supbar matches. I'll probably watch the final (which is 99% likely to be City Vs whoever gets lucky in the draw) but that's about it.
