Inter absolutely dominating Barca here, beautiful plays from the back. Sensi is class in that midfield

Handanovic is more than decent. I think he should be considered in the top 5. Very comfortable with the ball.

I've got the Barca v Inter game on. Good match. Get it on!
Have done so now. Will be interesting to see Sanchez in an Inter shirt.

If he manages to be successful there I think a lot of United fans are going to have to really question whether there's a problem at the club rather than with the players. Similar to us with Trippier in that the system may be looking players who have quality struggle.

Never thought I would actually regret us not going for Conte in the summer. The man has some authority and would have showed some of our players their place.

And they're playing good counter attacking football, not the clueless, shite, off colour version that we serve up.

Why didn’t we hire Conte after Mourinho

Plus Messi is running in a strange way, doesn’t look like him when he is running with the ball.

Has lost his grace...

Ha, Vidal. As if Barca aren't ending this with 10 men as it is.

Is coming back from injury and not fully fit.

Eh, I don't think he'll be blaming himself. I think he thought the club was a shambles and didn't want to be there.
Lukaku talks well and deflects a lot of accountability. He was too big coming out of the WC, said so himself. Then he got a serious hamstring injury which didn't allow him to run or train his legs/cardio to lose the proper weight and strengthen his lower body and increase his agility. Then was offered a lifeline by Conte and Inter. Club didn't want a back up making that much money who had serious commitment issues, combined with Conte/Inter wanting him and knowing exactly what they want from him. Fine, move on and it happens.

You cannot play all these 3 attackers at the same time
You can no longer play Suarez-Messi together 100%.

And I don't even think Messi-Griezmann are that compatible either.

Both of them are best playing off a number 9.

Their team is extremely unbalanced.

I think they're were definitely issues within the club, much like Spurs at the moment, hence Lukaku and Sanchez being moved on. That said he never produced for us so can't say I'm disappointed to see him move on. He genuinely looked shot.

I think we all underestimate a true managerial skill can be managing an ego filled dressing room. Not easy to do at all.

He's literally after coming back from injury. He's nowhere near match fit

It's the shoes and tape. Makes it look different. He has slowed down though. It's about time.

That was a disappointing goal to concede. I think it was Van Dijk who got turned too easily.

Players trying now when they need to save their names after fecking about at United isn't a shock.
Kind of lessens the Pogba excuses since it seems he wasn't surrounded by donkeys but hey oh..

I love Liverpool's ruthlessness. They are such a well coached side from defense to attack.
