Does this make sense from the BBC


"Napoli beat Liverpool 1-0 at home in the reverse game.

If PSG beat Red Star in their final game, they will progress, meaning Liverpool need the following against Napoli:

  • A 1-0 win will take them through on their head to head record courtesy of their away goal"
Surely head to head they have a pair of 1-0s. GD on the whole group would be the same so it would go to Goals scored.
BBC have the right answer but wrong method!
Liverpool would go through by virtue of having scored more goals in the group as you say. 2-1 puts them out on away goals in head to head.

That's about the standard of the BBC's reporting these days...

Defending optional.
Not Michael Dawson or Alan Hutton's finest hours. Grealish seemed to do well, though.
 
Why is Mourinho the prick talking openly about our key players to the press?

Disrespectful ****.

The truth is that every one of our players could walk into that ****ty team.

Yes, we are out of reach in every way.

****.
Read it, comes across as very "entitled"<laugh>
Proper Prick <cheers>

It's also gibberish. We're not in the same position that we were and neither are Utd.
They still went out and bought Sanchez from Arsenal, Lukaku from Everton and Matic from Chelsea.

He has a superb squad there and he's not getting superb performances.
It's not his first season at a new club and he's had time to get rid of those that he doesn't want and replace them.
If it's still not good enough, then that's on him.

It's the part where he dismisses the idea of player development because it takes time that demonstrates what I've been saying about Steptonho for years, namely how he's only interested in the short-term because the short-term gets his contract renewed, while long-term he has no interest in because he's already buggered off to inflict misery on another set of players somewhere else
 
Tbf to him...we are a good example of the point he is trying to make.

We have been a selling club to them amongst others in the past but not anymore, point being he can't just go and cherry pick quality players from other clubs anymore...especially not us.

Why did he use Spurs as an example? Everyone wants our players but they are not succeeding in luring them away.

David Villa signs for Vissel Kobe, joining Andres Iniesta and Lukas Podolski

Oh, wait, I got that wrong...

Having added the perpetually midtable Vissel Kobe to their long list of investments back in 2015, Rakuten are determined to make their team J-League champions at any cost by flexing their wallets to sign players such as Andres Iniesta, Lukas Podolski and David Villa because apparently having their brand plastered on Barca's home shirts for the next three years and owning approximately 6000 subsidiaries worldwide isn't enough, so it's time for the J-League to get a taste of financial doping!
