Doesn't matter. They have a world class coach and they are a genuine team who are well organised, well drilled, work for each other tirelessly and never give up.
They also have some world class players such as Alisson, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Mane etc and two of their world class talents...
Pretty even match overall. The result flatters us a bit in my opinion but I am obviously glad we have a 3-0 lead to take to Anfield.
I think it basically just came down to us being clinical and taking our chances and Liverpool failing to do the same. They certainly had 2 or 3 great chances to...
I agree with everything you've said except for the full backs sucking. I honestly can't believe you've watched much of them during the second half of this season if you genuinely think that. Robertson & Trent have both been exceptional.
We don't have a divine right to do well in the Champions League mate. There are plenty of other top teams around Europe. We are in that elite group of teams but we will still always have tough games especially away from home in this competition.
We've been shit in the CL for years now...
Yeah it was a decent away performance in my opinion against a tough opponent in a Champions League first leg match. Chelsea are not a scrub team! They have some very dangerous players going forward, are capable of staying organised and disciplined defensively for long periods with players such...
How many times did he get caught offside tonight?!
I thought his general touch and linkup play was better tonight than it's been so far this season but that's not saying much unfortunately.
So sad to see him like this. I hope he can somehow come back from the shocking form he's currently in.
Yeah good game tonight. I just love watching him play. He's obviously past his prime but he's still a joy to behold at times. Still by far our most creative midfielder.
He's looked decent when he's started games as well it just hasn't happened very often. He's a better option than either Deulofeu in the front 3 or Rakitic in the midfield in my opinion. He probably won't cut it as a Barca player but based on our current options I'd be playing him more.
