Champions League 2018/2019

I'm just annoyed how Ndombele is already making himself integral to the French national team this season. He's getting more time than teammate Fekir. He's probably picked up 5-10m pounds on his price this season alone.

Good game starting - Monaco vs. Atletico

Claudius

Henry looks like he's had enough 2 minutes in. They're one-nil down. I don't think I've ever seen this man happy by the end of a Monaco game. Going from being an assistant manager for a national team with one of the finest collection of players in the world to running a declining, relegation-threatened club: mad!

Klaus

He's such an idiot for going there in the first place. There's no way to help Monaco until they hit rock bottom now.

Claudius

They can't defend. Hopefully, he learned a thing or two about defending from Wenger and Martinez.

Klaus

I think it's more because one of his centrebacks is 17 while the other one is 35.

It's crazy when you think about it. Monaco have systematically gutted their squad in a way I haven't seen since Ajax lost their entire CL winning side. The difference is that the Bosman rule screwed them over. Monaco did this to themselves for profit.

Ray

He wasn’t going to be progressing much as assistant manager to Martinez in international football.

jones

Neither in international football nor as an assistant to Martinez anywhere

Poor bloke can't catch a break, Falcao misses a pen after Atletico go down to ten. I'm not Claude but to me this seems like some seriously strong juju

They were awful, mate. Juju was not used on this November evening.
I feel bad for the guy. I have not seen much which suggests he is coaching the teams well. But then again, as Klaus notes, this team has been ripped apart. Over and above that, 9 players were injured coming into the game today. He's going to relegate a club he loves.

jones

It's probably a combination of both, him being unable to coach a team and the team being too imbalanced and inexperienced.

Either way we should be ready to poach a couple of the talented kids there. Tielemans is the obvious one but Geubbels Diop Pellegri or even Sidibe are all worth a punt

Claudius

Yeah. Agree on Tielemans.

Watching PSG Pool now. I predict 3-1 Pool, but the heart hopes for the reverse.

1-0 Neymar. Liverpool being toyed around with the opening 13 minutes

jones

Goal was from Juan "He's shit so I sell him for nothing on purpose-Hoeneß" Bernat

Claudius

Get in. Neymar and Mbappe like cheetahs sprinting down that field. 2-0.
Even doing the money dance!

Claudius

Fucking Pool. They have the bestest luck.

goon

What a ridiculous challenge.

Gazza M

PSG are always doing dumb shit in defense

Kimpembe looks like an accident waiting to happen at fullback

Claudius

Sometimes you wish football had multiple subs like basketball. That Di Maria foul deserves an immediate benching. WTF. Flying in like its UFC 231

TambourineMan

I haven't really watched Monaco but has he at least implemented a style of play, even if its failing?

Mirth

I see this goal:

But I don't understand it. The lack of back lift, the choice of corner and the power that is behind the shot doesn't make sense.

Claudius

Jones will tell you it's juju.
Awesome goal
