European Cup (thread II)

Can and Markovic on for Henderson and Coutinho. So no humiliation on the pitch for Rickie. You do wonder what they bought him for.

 

Worth a repost.

 

I wonder when all this hype about how great the Premier League is will fade. Aside from Chelsea all the teams are average (at least defensively) and are being punished by teams that are far more competent.

 

The EPL is just like the England team, so concerned by earning obscene amounts of money, its totally forgotten what it is supposed to be about.

 

Fair play Arsenal dunno how they managed that.

 

Gibbs gets Arsenal out of a big hole.

 

Wow 2-1 Arsenal.

 

Well somehow Arsenal won 2-1.

 

Just to make it a tad worse Ludogorets go and win it in injury time.

 

Lambert didn't even get his complementary 6 minutes. Shame on you Brenders.

 

Even when Sturridge is out and Balotelli is crap, Borini isn't getting played 3-0 down and without a proper striker on the pitch... Lambert STILL isnt getting played.

 

Great cross from Chambers for Gibbs' equaliser.

Incidentally, Merson is a knob.

 

What's he done now?

 

Yes it's a real shame. He's wasted there. It may be his home team but it's ruining his career. Never seems to be smiling anymore

 

Rickie should have had a couple of years of football left...hope Liverpool give him some game time.

 

Check out the expression on Rodgers face as Ronaldo goes off - that is brilliant

Olympiakos once again proving they are no pushovers. 1-0 against Juve tonight. That is an interesting group but expect Atletico and Olympiakos to progress.

 

I'm sticking my hat on and predicting a last four of Bayern, Real, Chelsea and one of Barca, Dortmund, PSG or Atletico providing the draws keep them apart in the QFs!!!

 

If Liverpool drop into the Europa League what are the chances of a meeting with Everton??
