UEFA Champions League Group Stage: Matchday 6 (Dec 12 & 13)

[Thrice]

Bit of a tangent from your post but….All I hear these days is injury crisis this and injury crisis that when it comes to explaining why teams are ****.

Did Wenger ever get this much leeway from the xenophobic media when he used to put out makeshift teams after half our starting 11 used to be out injured whilst we used to finish top 4 on the regular?

Fair point. Newcastle have spent so much, they should be able to survive a couple of injuries. But at the end of the day this is still a club only two years removed from battling relegation.
My fear is that this experience will entice them even more to start spending big next summer.

AC Milan had more injuries than Newcastle this evening.
Tomori was the only available and fit CB, this is why Theo had to play left CB.
They both were excellent.

They've got to keep to FFP rules though, don't they?

True, will be important for them to get one of the top 5 spots this season.

Hard to see anyone but Real winning competition. There is also that **** house atletico team and Bayern. Yes we can beat most but there are still excellent teams in here.

I see young Guiu scored for Barcelona in a 20 minute cameo. That's allowed then?

 

[HattoriHanzo]

4 spanish clubs at the top of their groups
3 italian and 3 german clubs go further
Only 2 english clubs.

And I hear people saying that Premiership is the strongest and the best league in the universe

When the head choppers visit the Emirates, guarantee that we will slap the **** out of them.

They beheaded out of Europe

They have a chance so long as Tierney stays fit but I'm banking we'll have too much for them and for Bayern, Madrids and Citeh too.

That's extraordinary from Sule.

That was incredible tbh. A very entertaining match I must say!

Getting game time helps no

Agree but as i said before Barcelona and psg are top clubs they aren't your Brighton etc.. so these guys must be damn good to get ahead of senior players who cost so much millions
