Champions League 2016/17

[Tir Na Nog]

They got to the Final a couple of years back with Pogba,Vidal, Morata and Tevez

Allegri was in charge for that game, he took over earlier that season when Conte took over.

As for Conte's Juve, they were still solid defensively but their striking options consisted of Marti, Vucinic and Giovinco for the most part, in fact for a while they were dependent on Vidal for goals. He did bring in Llorente and Tevez to improve things but it was under Allegri where Juve became really good offensively as well as defensively.

Yes,but at the moment i don't think that they can compete with those teams.We'll see.

 

[Trilly]

Yet Barca actually had a worse result than us.

Yes but Barca are capable of beating anyone 4-0 at home...

The scenes if we won 4-0... **** man, that would be proper legendary

Would probably be the biggest win in the club's recent history. Think of the implications too: Sanchez would probably stay, and Europe would stop thinking of us as the CL whipping boys.

Sigh, will never happen though.

didnt this almost happen like Two years ago?

 

[zhaggy]

I think we came close on a couple of occasions in the second leg when we were basically already knocked out.
We play some good footy when there's no preassure.

Sevilla will beat Leicester away from home. Big gulf in class.

Watched some of the first half, the Sevilla football got the juices flowing again.

 

[El Granit-Coq]

It's quite sad that we don't have a reputation of being hard to beat or considered beasts when we play at home. It's probably easier for teams to win at the Emirates against us than it is to us to win at our own ground.

2 goals in itself would have been a challenge, 4 goals is an actual dream. 4 goals in while we have to stop them from scoring... Yeah I'm going to watch the game for formalities. Players may want to play for the win but I doubt any of them (given their response to the 2nd goal against Bayern) truly believe this is possible.

Arsenal are a joke in Europe.

Likely event is us playing the game of the season, recalling the invincibles to the mind with scintillating football, getting two first half goals, then a late third, pushing for a fourth. Brave effort but alas, 3-0 is not enough.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Frick of Leicester, get lost into the non-leagues. I hope they don't win another match after sacking Claudio.

 

[VancouverCanuck]

Arsenal are a joke in Europe.

We have qualified for the round of 16 for the last 13 years or so. Should be getting a trophy for that.

 

[The_Playmaker]

Having watched Monaco. It makes you wonder how they can play a 4 4 2 with two strikers with pace and have a wide player with defensive limitations , but a wand of a left foot playing on the right hand side.

Then you stop wondering and realise they have an absolute beast in CM. Forget Mbappe. Bakayoko is the player worth buying from Monaco. That type of player allows you to play a Wilshere in central midfield.

 

[BobP]

Napoli have been quite unlucky here, were doing well and looked to have a good chance, only requiring a single goal but a Sergio Ramos double snuffed out any such hopes.

Such a clutch player.

 

[Garrincha]

Looking forward to watching another team try to make up four goals tomorrow. A nice change.

They'll do it. Bet on it.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Unlucky Meertens for Napoli. His penalty shout was stronger than the one Lewa got off us. Napoli score that and level the tie and it's a different game. Gotta love Ramos though.

 

[Rimaal]

So looking forward to tonight's Barca v PSG. Should be a corker!

Actually, Fabinho is as valuable a Bakayoko in CM for ASM. IMO, City won because both players were spent by the 70th of their game. Jardim should have managed them better before the game. These guys are both beasts in CM.
To be fair, as well, both Lemar and Bernardo Silva work hard as wide players. They constantly track back.
