I get that his game was lessened because of the lack of movement around him.Of course he was. They had no possession, he was surround by 4+ players the moment he got the ball with no one around him, there were no runners on the wings to pass to.
It's like when people criticise our striker when we just bombard crosses into the box and nothing happens...what did you expect? It's a 5'9'' guy surrounded by 5 defenders and a keeper with no support.
Not having it mate something else going on maybe them East German athletic’s doctors are on the medical staff ;-)It's amazing how in some peoples minds when any other side presses and defends and works their bollocks off it's definitely doping, but when it's us...nothing.
It won’t completely save them. I have it on good authority that they have significant cash flow issues, even apart from Messi’s contract.Messi going off the books would actually completely save them financially, he costs them minimum €100m/year without bonuses, and he always gets bonuses.
If I understood your post I might respond to it.Are you seriously saying a team that lost 8 -2 were not bad? We only shipped 8 goals playing Elano as a fullback.
To be honest, momentum and goals do that. Put a wind in your sails, and you feel unstoppable and play freely. Also, some of their players are athletic beasts.
I'll bet Bayern wish they'd saved that performance for the semi-final. Difficult to reproduce that against anyone, let alone a team that won't throw in the towel with half-an-hour to go.
Imo, stretched is like a Milan AC club. Barça is still investing 100 M+ every year on the market. Of course, they are taking loans because they have no cash but banks are giving them the money anyway because of their commercial turnover.They will be financial stretched regardless if they get Messi and a few other high wage players off their books.
They are in a very precarious financial position, hence why they are seeking such a substantial cash injection via private loan. The public reasoning for it is not accurate/complete.
With ederson scoring the winning pen 10-9 ..we’ll now hit 10 tomorrow, with the semi being a dull 0-0 and going to penalties
I very much doubt they'll put 7 past us.it will be a high scoring game based on how we both play. I fancy us to beat them, really do.But they score more than everyone else. That's the issue. We'd have to defend for our lives to beat these. They can put 7 past anyone, including us.
It will. We have the energetic lads playing and It’ll be a game. That high line is waiting for Kevin. Raheem’s and Foden’s off the ball movement and prime and ready. That’s if they beat Lyon. Need to be switched on tomorrow to avoid any surprises.

Some of that is due to the impact of COVID, but quite a lot of it is due to poor financial management and recruitment decisions over the past few years.
Lol I was just reading so many cowering or overconfident posts regarding your possible upcoming match with Bayern and just wanted to say "Thank fuck your team's performance doesn't depend on what's being written on here!", but in a more polite way given that I'm a guest on here.that sounds like a Churchill speech after he’s injected the best brown since the railroads were built
Bayern looked very good tonight and for me are the best team in the competition. They are excellent going forward but can be got at defensively...a bit like us really.
I was watching them and thinking about how they can hurt us and while we all know about their front three, what impressed me and concerned me in equal measures, was the forward runs off the ball their midfielders made. Given the opportunity, I can see them running off Rodri and Gundogan for fun and causing us a lot of problems.
However, let’s earn the right to play them, before we worry too much about them. We have a job to do tomorrow first.
