Really enjoyed the Liverpool Utd game, not only was it a decent game but Utd were pretty decent in the first half I thought. The final score was a bit misleading IMO.
Ehhh did you see the first 30 mins!? Utd barely had a touch. Granted the last 15 were a lot more even, cheers Alison!

Same old same old from Man Utd today, that result was so predictable. Liverpool are flying though and I'm not sure many teams could have stopped them today. :shock: :shock: Two jamy deflected goals though. :lol:
Yeah, I will give you the element of luck in the last two Pool goals, but Utd's had a degree of fortune about it as well. I think a two goal margin was a fair result. If anything it maybe could have been more. Pool were a lot better than Utd. Yes, we see less good teams win week in week out, but if you were to watch the game, bar the goals, and be asked what the score was you'd probably have given Pool a 2 goal lead, or more.
Jose is gone as soon as Utd are mathematically out of CL contention. That Utd team is dire. No direction or style of play at all. That is Jose's job. Teams/players can play badly but you should still be able to see what their manager set them out to do. I have no idea what Utd's game plan is. That wasn't just yesterday that's been the case all season.

The CL draw is done:<br abp="470"><br abp="471">Schalke v Manchester City<br abp="472">Atletico Madrid v Juventus<br abp="473">Manchester United v Paris St-Germain<br abp="474">Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund<br abp="475">Lyon v Barcelona<br abp="476">Roma v Porto<br abp="477">Ajax v Real Madrid<br abp="478">Liverpool v Bayern Munich<br abp="479"><br abp="480">Don't think Spurs have much hope of beating Dortmund, TBH there aren't really any easy fixtures in that lot. It's going to come down to form on the day.
City will destroy Schalke. They are bottom 6 in Germany. Think a good Burnley. That's as good as a bye for them. Barca will do the same to Lyon and I fancy Roma to beat Porto. The others should all be good games. Atletico Juve looks tasty.
I think PSG are beatable. They are a good Kevin Keegan side. Amazing going forward but they can be got at. That front three don't even pretend to track back. But the way Utd are playing it could be messy. Two months until the game though.
Spurs Dortmund is gonna be a brilliant game for the neutral. I do think Spurs have a chance, assuming they don't play like they did in their first 3 CL games. Pool Bayern should be good. Bayern are a fading force, still quality but not as good as they have been.
As for the EL. Meh.
Arsenal and Chelsea's reserves will cruise past that dross. Celtic will lose.
:lol:
