Good comeback, but the two penalties and the free kick leading to 3 goals were all soft. Not blatant dives without contact, but any of them could easily have not been given. I think the ref was soft, but it is difficult with 100 000 fans backing their team. And to be fair he did not give the last penalty, his assistant did...
All the Barca PSG game shows is how they will fix a big game in order to reignite some drama in a competition whose quality, excitement and interest has wained over the last 5/6 years. Far too predictable from UEFA.
Course it was ****ing fixed. PSG had a ****ing 4 goal advantage. After 88 minutes, Barca needed 3 goals to get through. You telling me a team like PSG, knowing Barca need 3 goals, wouldnt just park 11 men in their area for 5 minutes to get the win. Total utter bollocks. It's quite ridiculous.
Whether fixed or not, a club wanting to be part of the elite simply cannot be humiliated like this. Losing a 4-0 lead going into the leg is bad enough. But the collective collapse in 5-7 minutes is just inexplicable and unacceptable. A goal in the 88th minute still was not catastrophic and not even a huge problem. All they needed to do is shut up shop for a further few minutes to stop 2 goals being scored. Barcelona's comeback owed a lot to the mentality and panic of PSG players, the diving and cheating of the Barcelona players and the "gullibility" and incompetence of the referee. This comeback was not clean and is tainted: Wenger is right.
Kloppyflop is so ****ing sure of victory against Burnley that he thinks that a plan B in this instance would not be needed. He is arrogant and confident but the Burnley are useless away. A 4-0 victory to the RS.
So, the RS are six points ahead of us, we have two games in hand. The Ar5e have some difficult games coming in the next few weeks - it should prove interesting
Memphis seems to be finding his feet. Hope it works out for him and I believe we have first buy option as well.
Perhaps they couldn't handle the pressure of expectation or fit in with the chemistry just simply didn't work out. I don't think there's much to deduce from that other than individuals control their own destiny (for the large part). Let's face it; playing for Everton or Lyon is not to be mixed up with playing for United.
I'll let you know when we start beating premier league teams 3-0 Maybe Pogba should play for a team where the pressure of expectation is more fitting?
