Napoli (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Gabriel]

Sending off changed it. Up until that point it was fairly even, thereafter a procession. Bizarre thing is that the same 11 will have to start again versus Arsenal, not because they’re all in form but simply because those coming off the bench look even further off the pace. Get through this weekend and then Guardiola really needs to start rotating through the next eight games.

Solid enough.

We’re still well short of where we once were but with Rodri back, Foden looking like he’s heading in the right direction and the big man up front, we have enough quality in the team to at least give us a chance against anyone.

Pep’s plan coming together

Let me get it out of the way for the negative nancies and pessimistic petes

It was only cos they were down to ten
We are still to slow
Reinjders is still shite
Still struggling to create
The defence is still easy to get at.

Pick what you will, reality is that was a very professional performance against a very well drilled outfit regardless of them being down to ten.

Great result.
The team at the end were more like a youth team. 4 of the subs coming on were all young players and the ability to run and keep on running is a major attribute.

GTFI.

Dazzling Doku tonight.

This is the self preservation society :-)

Red card meant it was over as a contest but pleasing none the less and great to get players off ahead of Sunday

This time last week I had no hope of us getting anything at Arsenal, now slightly more optimistic!

That was a pizza piss.

Great win but the most important thing is Phil and Rodri are back

2-0. Called it amongst the doom mongers.

Are we winning the league mate?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Looks like we're playing a new and solid system.

Long may it continue.

He HAS to start every week, He's vital to the side.

When did haaland dye his hair to brunette?

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Performance aside, the blue seat counters will be having a field day tonight.

Yes kush I did

 

[Dodge]

Don’t think the game changed with the red. We were all over them b4 the red. We were excellent tonight. The press is coming back nicely.

If anything the red made it more difficult. An Italian Conte team with 10 camped on the edge of their box is a nightmare. They love that defending stuff, whatever that is.

Impressive that we managed to put two passed 'em.

 

[eyalluvitt]

commentators sentence of the day, “ ten man Napoli” for the 76th time, they don’t like the rules being applied in our favour, for some reason

2-0. Called it amongst the doom mongers.

Match day thread never disappoints.
