Haha, that was not the greatest goal, but its a goal..
Sakaaaa
Nice.

We keep losing the ball and giving up possession by playing direct and vertical. I hate this type of football. It’s not in our interest to keep giving the ball away. We need to slow it down, keep possession and pin them back.
daredevil I feel the opposite. in home games we have to play more like this. I liked what I saw most of today. we produced more than enough chances to dead the game by 60 minutes, we were just wasteful, with tross being the main culprit. the style you describe is fine for tougher away games
Now cut to Marinakis.
Superb goal I thought, he drills that hard and low rather than looking for an optimal angle. There's a lesson in that for Trossard.
Beautiful pass from ode, perfectly weighted
Saka, of course.
Saka is our best LW as well.
Coombs we barely tested their keeper today.
Ode deserved an assist after this performance.
daredevil he could have had 4 or 5 if we were on it
Lol the commentator just listed all of the injured players they showed, completely left off Hincapie who was right there in the frame.
PSG bearing Barca in Barca too now

I think wastefulness is a byproduct of this type of football. It was for all intents and purposes Wengerball post-Henry which too was plagued by wastefulness.
I’m not completely against it - it’s just not good for one’s heart.

Odegaard having the freedom to move laterally is unlocking him. Gives him far more opportunities to play through passes and it’s much easier for him to play a LW in behind. Saka being out has helped him as he has a tendency to stick to Saka on the right which limits his influence on the rest of the pitch.
Good win in the end...lol a little bit more frantic than we used to. Onto the next 1. Odegaard MOTM
Olympiakos deserve respect, they played well and unlucky not to score. This is why you don’t play complete 2nd side v them. This is CL not EL.
Ode MOM.
Sicario2 Olympiakos deserve respect, they played well and unlucky not to score.
They looked completely different than they did at home against a 10 man Pafos in the last CL game.
Has White lost a yard of pace?
Sicario2 don't think he was ever quick tbh.
So the Trossard vs Martinelli debate continues.
One with all the craft, the other the industry.
Neither really with the goods.
MistaT Trossard in particular doesn't have the legs for a full game.

Need to merge them with the transporter like Tuvix
Mirth weird player. He's not bad by any means but he doesn't excel at anything anymore really, and now all his finishing composure – the one attribute that wasn't debatable – has left him.
