Sporting CP (A) - Post-Match Thread

[The perfect fumble]

Go on Kyle. One of the beating hearts of this fantastic team.

I get the impression he isn’t the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree and fuck alone knows what got into his head in Leipzig, but agree he is a leader in that dressing room and the group really looks up to him.
An amazing signing that, don’t forget, we were roundly mocked for in pretty much all the media at the time.
Who knew that full backs were important and worth investing in?
I’ll tell you who.
A certain Senor Josep Guardiola.
Now they are fundamental and among the most expensive players in the world. And so the narrative changes.

So Liverpool do a Poundland Pep copy, albeit bypassing their woeful, agricultural midfield and basically hoofing to the corners and then overloading. But they belatedly realise full backs are actually important.

So much so they make them fundamental. Their midfield is so shite they have no choice

Full backs are now central to football and of course The Cult have “de best in de weeeerld”

Media: “Genius Klopp redefines full-backs”
Laughable
Klopp is B-tech uniform services at Edge Hill. Fair fucks, he is trying. But come on

Pep is post-doctorate research in astronomical science at Harvard.

5-D shit v B-tech
There are Levels to this game

It’s only half time

I know it's Sporting, not Madrid or whatever, but never in my life did I imagine we'd be 5-0 up in this stage of the CL. Not just that but playing like we did just pure control, effortless. Not even trying to take the piss or go for the jugular just a natural 5-0 occurrence of us simply being that good.

The Sporting fans at the end was good to see but it also shows the levels we are at that a team can get beaten 5-0 at home in the stages of the CL and still receive that level of support because even to lose 5-0 against us is something to be applauded.

A bit like us clapping Arsenal off at HT 0-5 down at Maine Road. Sometimes you’ve got to laugh or you’d cry.

He's a red, he admitted it when on a City podcast

There was Ade and Leon who both played for us, one of each red/blue iirc?
One of them played for the Mostom tribute act

Pep was right we were shite...

[Impeccable One]

Huge worry for the 2nd leg that we don’t have the away goal rule anymore.

Neither do they, we scrape one goal and I can’t see them scoring 7

The Mona Lisa’s dimensions are 77 cm by 53 cm. It is a small painting, which was common for Florentine portraits

It’s not that big a painting mate, add another few cm for the frame, its just not that impressive with your analogy.

To say I was underwhelmed when seeing it in the Louvre is an understatement, however, Pep is certainly a grandmaster (:

Nice dig at the press there Pep.
