    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Alba is a good footballer and certainly better on the ball than Robertson. Coutinho is more than technically "okay", he was one of the best players in the world at what he does when he was at Liverpool. It's not worked out for him so far at Barcelona, but that talent hasn't just disappeared. I...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    I'm not a Barca fan (I always loved their teams though) and rarely watch them in La Liga so I'm not an expert on your players, but I'm not accepting that you have only 3 technically good players. Off the top of my head, Pique, Rakitic, Alba, Coutinho and Suarez are all technical players. They...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    No they don't :lol: it's called humour, they're just happy for a player who looked to be on the way out but came back and scored some vital goals for them. As for Barca, it was obvious what would happen pretty much from kick off. Far too physically slow and weak, and without the great workrate...

    Champions League

    Both ties are quite evenly balanced. All 4 teams like to play attacking football. Will be a great watch and as a neutral, can't ask for more really!

    Manchester City

    They hadn't as late as yesterday. They were also outnumbered by Brighton and Hove Albion fans in the FA Cup semi-final a few weeks ago. :lol: Pep even had to beg them to create an atmosphere vs Spurs tonight...

    Manchester City

    All that oil money spent to give them an unfair advantage, and they still can't get anywhere in the Champions League. A great coach like Pep should get out and go to a proper club. Seriously, City didn't even sell all their tickets for this game :lol: can't even fill their ground for a CL...

    Champions League

    Yes Spurs!!! Yes! You are amazing! :yes: Fuck off Man City, cheating oil-soaked bastards.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Coutinho is shit in midfield full stop. I haven't managed to watch much of Barca this season so can't comment on his performances but I know fans are very unhappy with him. He is a left-sided forward, that's where he was great for Liverpool, he was poor whenever he played in midfield for them...

    CL 1/4 Final: FC Barcelona - Manchester United 4-0 agg.

    Solskjaer went on a brilliant run, there's no doubt about that, but they had an awful lot of luck: opponents missing loads of easy chances, De Gea making amazing saves every game etc. Barca just need to put their chances away and they'll go through easily enough, United aren't a great side...

    Champions League

    Come on, United! They're not playing brilliantly in defence (my own shitty Championship team dominated them in the FA Cup :lol:) but Solskjaer has them confident and they have some luck on their side. They're going to knock Qatar out and I'll laugh.

    Champions League

    I have a feeling Atletico are gonna do it this year.

    Premier League 2018/19

    I'm not necessarily claiming that they're "soft", but more that they just don't always deal very well with setbacks. That United game did matter to City. There isn't a more bitter set of fans in England than City fans, they are obsessed with Man United, it's their biggest game of every season...

    Qatar FC

    This club and Manchester City are everything that's wrong with football, especially Neymar, what a despicable cheat. Hopefully they are both knocked out of the CL as soon as possible. Probably will be too, neither team has a history of doing well in Europe. :lol:

    Liverpool

    City and Liverpool would be very competitive against any of those teams. Even Tottenham were superior to Juventus last season and shouldn't have gone out. United are just shit and will go out to the first decent team they meet, but anyone thinking the Spanish teams will walk over City and...

    Liverpool

    By the sounds of it, it seems like you're judging them by their Champions League away performances, which admittedly haven't been great, but they'll be much better in the knockouts. I'm judging Liverpool on their league season so far, where they've been excellent. Best defence in the league...

    Premier League 2018/19

    He's right about this Man City team. They're so used to teams rolling over for them that when teams put pressure on them, they can fold a bit. Like when Liverpool beat them in Champions League and they wobbled and lost to Man United the next game. We've seen it this season, like when Wolves...

    Manchester United

    I am a Reading fan, and we've drawn United in the FA Cup. The game will be live on TV, so you'll all be able to see a really poor team in bad form, low on confidence, and struggling to score goals. You'll be able to see Reading too.

    Liverpool

    You were saying? :cool: It ain't luck, they're a very good team. Being good at defending, being competitive and staying in games and then taking your chances to win tight games isn't luck, it's brilliant, smart football, there's more than one way to play the game. Liverpool now remind me a lot...

    England

    Yeah, I think they were. Croatia dominated us after half-time, but I actually believe that was due to a tactical error from Southgate. He seemed to make the decision to sit deeper and try and counter on Croatia, when the better choice would have been to continue as we were in the first half and...

    Chelsea

    If Hazard goes, Chelsea are in deep, deep trouble. He is a world-class player who singlehandedly carried their attack last season; he was basically expected to produce goals and win games pretty much by himself. And most of the time, he did. Special talent. Him signing a new contract would be...
