    Naughty Jury is still out but I am prepared to admit that I have been overly critical

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Yes I am chilling on the fella. I think I will go easy on him a bit. It's just a game. But I want him to be consistent. He doesn't have to do that last night every game - that's unrealistic - but he has to be good in 70 percent of games minimum.

    Hello

    He's not easily impressed - unless you're Ronaldo :unsure:

    Manchester United

    Do you all think they might play better against Chelsea on Saturday? Chelsea played on Wednesday night, difficult game away at Bayern, have to travel to Manchester. United have had more time on the training pitch, so in theory they should be better rested and prepared. But like I have written...

    CL Round: Newcastle - Barca 1-2

    3 minutes too long to listen to that accent. Just post the transcript.

    8 - Pedri

    I notice you love him as a player, you are in here a lot. Don't blame you, he's top 5 in world player imo.

    13 - Joan García

    Still early obviously but he looked really really good tonight. Assured, confident, claiming crosses. Not that much to save but made them well with no mistake.

    Good analysis.

    CL Round: Newcastle - Barca 1-2

    True but I think he knew he couldn't win the midfield battle. He could have tried with physicality but he probably knew they'd get passed round, so went the high press route to try to stop the ball coming into Barca midfield in first place. Problem is you cannot keep that intensity up all game...

    CL Round: Newcastle - Barca 1-2

    They're very good in central midfield. They're just not elite like PSG and Barca, as you, me and serghei all said on recent pages. At the top level of the game, the difference between an 8 out 10 and a 9.5 is enormous.

    Even now I am a 43 year old man, Kanu's first name will never not be funny.

    Also @KingLeo10 good to see you online. Haven't seen you on as much for the last month or two.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yeah he got a good win tonight. Let's hope Rashford can maintain it as it would be nice to see Barca do the double or even the treble.

    CL Round: Newcastle - Barca 1-2

    I went 2-2 so wasn't far away. I found it a difficult game to call. In the end 2-1 flattered Newcastle a little. I worried about the phsicality too, which is weird for me as I am a technique trumps everything guy. But Barca's technical collective is of such an astoundingly high level that even...

    CL Round: Newcastle - Barca 1-2

    I don't see many people whining. Most people - myself included - think Barca successfully weathered an early storm, took control, and deservedly won away at an intimidating, tricky stadium and club.

    CL Round: Newcastle - Barca 1-2

    They do have a good midfield, but I think he knew that they couldn't live with Pedri and De Jong. So plan was to try to smother Barca early and prevent the ball getting to midfield and hence the supply to the attackers. They were pressing very high - they looked surprised that Barca weren't...
