Rival watch

Yep, Utd not looking very clever either

 

Pulis is available. The football's no better but he's £13m per season cheaper.

 

I don't like this possession football with little attacking intent and no urgency because 0-0 is deemed to be acceptable.
Looks a stupid tactic now.

 

You should progress with CSKA at home your last match.

But Maureen's refusal to just take the shackles off and let £250m worth of talent just play football must be infuriating. Brian is right: he's a rich man's Tony Pulis.

 

It was once very good with a lot of quality players coming south and the best coaches in Britain going back to Bill Shankly.

 

Last night Sevilla had to retake the penalty because of encroachment-and they were the home team.
Don't you love consistency

Kunta Conte feeling the pressure of PL + CL campaigns.

 

Neither Manchester side excelled did they?

 

Didn't see the City game but we were total garbage, I could point to 7 changes in the team but we should have had more than enough to win.

They were all "seasoned internationals"

 

Diego, I said last season that I don't think winning the Europa league qualifies a team to compete properly in the Champion's League and this is what I think Utd's problem was against Basel and will be in the coming rounds.

 

Not sure how far we will/can go but we should be so much better than tonight. The last 16 will be painful with a performance like that.

 

I quite envy the clubs that want to win all trophies....and not turn them into reserve tournaments. I think Spurs do the latter expecting to win the PL........oh yes?

 

I don’t envy any other football clubs.

 

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has asked for help from the media to highlight "strange" fixture scheduling as his side reached the last 16 of the Champions League

Didn't hear him complain last year.

 

For the background, and what already potentially awaits
Chelsky in over 4 months time (and that is BEFORE Sky
get their grubby scheduling mitts on the PL fixtures) .

I would say "keep your hair on" over this to Conte, but
probably not the right choice of words in his case.

 

Don't Man Utd just have to lose by less than 7-0 to qualify top?

 

Yep. It would be a terrible shame if that were to happen. Really long odds.

Less than 5-0 perhaps.

I think that is to qualify at all, slightly less needed to get them into second.
