You fluked the Juventus win. They totally bossed you, created lots of chances and you somehow managed to win off set pieces .. it was a once in a hundred kind of game. I certainly wouldn't expect you to repeat it. In the same group you couldn't score a single goal over 180 minutes at home vs Valencia and Young Boys
If you played PSG or Napoli away they would rightly be overwhelming favourites.
Being 2nd isn't 'overwhelming' but it's certainly doing pretty well, right? Hence why I find it silly to act like they're having a poor season. Higher than that is almost impossible with the juggernaut that is City around.
They've had a great start to the league, been poor in the Cl and the quality of football overall needs improving. Overall it's probably a 7/10 start, you can't argue with being unbeaten in league competition still. People here are acting like they've been outright bad which is just wrong.
Fluked, bossed, once in a hundred kind of game is all hyperbole and largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. We won the game because we scored more goals than they did and that's the only thing history will remember. This United side under Jose has a habit of scoring late goals. Some even believe it's a strategy, as crazy as it sounds, but who I am to doubt CAF wisdom.
PSG would most certainly be considered favourites for the tie, but to suggest they would be overwhelmingly so is a tad extreme. Jose Mourinho teams are notoriously difficult to beat, particularly in European games, he would set the team up not to lose; swamp the midfield, dug in, close space, bully the opposition etc - it's the only thing he is remotely competent at these days. Napoli would be 50-50 in my opinion.
The best they can hope for is second place and you win nothing finishing second. Liverpool hasn't won a league title in 30 years, second place for them is simply not good enough. Don't let the Liverpool fans on this board fool you, most scousers are desperate to win the league first and foremost - at least the ones I know are.
