Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

3-0 down to Barca in the first leg then won 4-0 at Anfield. Spurs had a crazy scoreline against Ajax and won then lost in the final to us.

 

Villa got a huge task on today ... PSG are a cracking side ...

 

Arsenal have been awful this season with their moaning and silly petulance last night showed what can happen if you concentrate and play football. I don't see RM coming back from that but it's not impossible.

 

Villa are the right team to cause an upset though, defensive and stubborn PSG could get rattled.

 

Not sure getting red carded and being unable to play in the second leg as a result is what I'd call a 'finer subtlety' ... more brain fart ...

 

in Europe this season they have been pretty "meh".
They barely qualified from the group stage.
Same with Real Madrid really, they were pretty pants in the group stage.

 

Losing to Emery in the semis would be better.

 

That would be tragic!! And hilarious!
Am kinda rooting for both the English teams in the CL now tbh.
Shame they have to play each other in the semi (If they go through obviously), would have been great to get another all English final.

 

I had it in my head the whole time last night was the semi. Not worried now.

 

And those clapper things they give to the crowd to make noise...they deserve relegation for those alone

 

You're talking about Camavinga mate

 

They do what they need to ... and they made Liverpool look like a Championship side in that first leg ... no real comparison to Real Madrid (who reminded me of a PSG of old - more a collection of individuals than a team)...

PSG have two of the best full-backs in the CL ... Madrid two of the worst ... and whilst Villa have some good players they will also need a lot of luck...

 

That was years ago mate ... in a season where Spurs were relevant ... until push came to fade ...

 

Do you watch a lot PSG and Real Madrid?

 

... both ...

 

Only the CL games ... don't have Sky but do have TNT sport ... do you watch a lot?

 

No. But Real Madrid having two of the worst full-backs feels somewhat unlikely.

 

Though in my head it’s still Roberto Carlos and Salgado which is probably no longer the case.

 

Was more a reference to last night tbf ... Alaba is now a bit of a liability ...

 

The LS one was a bit of something and nothing, he left his boot in there, but it wasn't a stamp, a lunge or running his studs down his shin. That said, with our luck with VAR it could have ended in trouble.

What I meant by the 'finer subtlety' was LS ignoring the Real player trying to give him the ball and walking to the spare ball to pick that up, in order to slow the game down. Just little things like that, which you don't coach, but a player has either got or he hasn't
