I kinda thought going in whoever advances between us or Arsenal isnt beating City or Madrid anyways but idk Madrid looked fairly beatable over two legs against Leipzig and Cities had their spurts this season too. The competition definitely seems more open then in recent years. Ill take a draw away with no fans for sure. The give a shit meter was definitely up for once so that was nice to see. Our holes are definitely still there though Dier for one shouldnt be starting for any team with ambitions and despite Tuchel liking the pairing with De Ligt hes easily the worst cb we have.You saw that on several occasions, the left side with Davies got torched for the first 30ish mins before Davies settled a bit anyways. Our midfield stability hinges on a 19 year old starting...Laimer and Gortetzka hasnt worked all season and Laimer in particular looked outmatched on several occasions. Overall I suppose the duo did better then I thought they would. Goretzka definitely stepped up. The one thing we do have is an attack so some optimism remains.

You'll had moments where you'll looked very good and then just sat back and started absorbing pressure which will always allow teams like Arsenal to get a goal the later into a game it goes. I can't see this happening in the second leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was watching the play my first thought was ahh unfortunate but clearly not intentional. Then you see on replay the look first... not great but ok still didnt look very intentional. Then I remembered you all these years ago talking about Kane being sneaky dirty and always doing things like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I’ll never understand how you can pass to a teammate with a man on him with his back to the game. Dortmund keeper just did it in the worst part of the pitch, the div. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen him much in Germany, I've watched maybe 2 Bundesliga matches all season and they were both Fortuna Dusseldorf matches... so I don't think I've actually seen any of him in Germany... but I doubt he's changed his ways too much.

Devil 1,179 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I wouldn't say Kane has been a dirty player during his career. He uses his body well in fairness due his lack of speed. He rolls defenders to get his shot away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a big tendency to lean into players that jumped over him, so they'd fall awkwardly. Luckily no-one got badly injured from it (from memory anyway).

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Good result from Barça last night. A well deserved victory but it was frustrating to concede 2 as the team actually defended well over the 90 minutes and didn't deserve to go 2-1 down for me. Great comeback from there however. Barcelona in recent years have folded and ended up recieving hammering in those types of moments. Raphinha has been a different player lately also and is playing like the player who he was supposed to be when signed. Class performance by him. I can now see why @Lucas loved him at Leeds. He just needed time to adjust it seems. Pedri and de Jong back is massive. You'd expect Pedri to start in the 2nd leg over Sergi Roberto. Xavi deserves credit for the subs. Pedri came on and played a lovely pass to assist Raphinha almost instantly, then Christensen came on and scored the winner 2 minutes later. The problem with it only being 3-2 is that it can easily be overturned by a player of Mbappe's quality, even Dembélé, so the team need to be at their best in the second leg, as do the fans. The Olympic stadium isn't Camp Nou either. Edited April 11 by Carnivore Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
