Champions League Game 5

[miller0863]

Shaktar 2-0 Real Madrid.
Shaktar do the double over Real, Shaktar 2nd, Real 3rd.

Lokomotiv Moscow 1-3 Salzberg

[CCTV]

Real could be leaving early at the group stages !!

Need a win tonight ourselves.

[CCTV]

Ajax and Atalanta face off for second spot in the group. Losers getting Europa.

[miller0863]

Atletico 1-1 Bayern. Glad the Gerries didn’t win yet another game.

[Insidious]

Real could be leaving early at the group stages !!

It would be really something if the two sides that DON'T qualify from that group are Real Madrid and Inter Milan, in terms of historical pedigree.

Would be really nice to see the knock-out rounds without Real - such a shower.

[CCTV]

City & Porto qualify

Bayern's qualify, Atletico second who play Salzburg who need a win to steal second place.

In the final group of the night..
Gladbach are on 8 points playing real on 7.
Inter on 5 host Shaktar on 7 points.

If both games end in a draw Shaktar would qualify on head to head record over Madrid.
If real and inter win, pretty sure Inter would qualify over Gladbach.

[CCTV]

Obviously if real & inter lose - they're out and Sid wins

[Kev0909]

wow atalanta couldn't beat the danes

Way to screw it up

I think ajax will be favs to be 2nd now

[miller0863]

That’ll be worth watching

[Kev0909]

That’ll be worth watching

For sure, overall I think ajax are the better team

Atalanta seem pretty awful this season

[miller0863]

The away game at Atalanta was how far more games should end. The 5-0 didn’t flatter us and to be fair if you look at the glaring misses tonight, it could have been same again. All four forwards missed chances and Jones hit the post.

[Balinkay]

Onana's save off Bobby's shot also only tipped it onto the post.

[Steveo]

Ajax are no mugs - ok they are hopeless in front of goal but that apart they are a quality side. Dominated us for long spells. Thank the lord they don’t have a striker.

[Steveo]

Onana's save off Bobby's shot also only tipped it onto the post.

Appalling strike - Jota would be getting both barrels for similar.

People can say what they like - anyone who plays up front will tel you - he is angled at the goal clean through - keeper stranded and has a huge target to hit yet he allows the keeper to get a touch.

That and Huntelaars miss both showing how not to do it.

[Steveo]

Hoping that Bobby is getting all these misses out of his system. He was never prolific but used to hit the ball with venom and accuracy.

We will need goals against Wolves. They are looking mint.

I see where you're coming from - it's a comfortable position and space to shoot from. Should really be making it impossible for the goalie to even get a touch. A near-post power strike might even be enough from there - no time to react for poor ol' Onana.

Some people are into those type of guys /shrug

That's fine.

From my perspective it is a forum and we all have opinions. You will always get a majority who follow the crowd - that is life. I just say it how it is from my point of view.

It is strange too because that is an easy take for Bobby not that long ago. Hopefully it is just a temporary dip in from - has lasted a while - with luck he is about to snap out of it.

[skyebo]

I don't know why people thought our group was a tough one. Ajax are top in a weak league, Atalanta will probably disappear from the European scene as quick as they came in, and FC Mid are awful. But for injuries and many changes, we would have won that group by an even bigger margin.

[Insidious]

wow atalanta couldn't beat the danes

It happens. It's why (prior to Ajax) I couldn't really understand a few calls for a heavily rotated side against Ajax with a view to assuming we'd win against Midtyjlland.

Yes, we win that match 8/10 times, but with two shots at qualification I felt it best to go "safety first" and ensure a safety net - always wary of single-match situations like that.

[Balinkay]

I don't think it was ever that easy for him, as it would be for someone like Agüero, but it does look like he could use some confidence / form.

[Kev0909]

How do PSG have Mbappe and neymar..... then Kean who was beyond shit in the EPL?

[RedNoodle]

Neymar gives PSG the lead against the Red Mancs.

[RedNoodle]

How do PSG have Mbappe and neymar..... then Kean who was beyond shit in the EPL?

It's Tuchel's ideal of a 'balanced attack i.e. he has to balance out Neymar's and Mbappe's quality with Kean.

[RedNoodle]

Chelsea take the lead against Sevilla.

[miller0863]

Wow. Fred head butted a PSG player, seen by VAR, ref looks at the monitor and only gives a yellow.

How the fuck do they continually get such decisions

[RedNoodle]

Fred pushed his head into Paredes face and somehow escapes with a yellow despite the ref looking at the monitor!!!!! :eek:

WTF!?!?!? And they say the game isn't corrupt? Has Fergie given one of his horses to the ref as an early Xmas present?

What a load of ****. :mad:

[RedNoodle]

Wow. Fred head butted a PSG player, seen by VAR, ref looks at the monitor and only gives a yellow.

If he had used his elbow they would have probably been awarded a penalty.

[Pigsy]

I thought you were not allowed to book someone after a var review, only red cards? Insane decision.

[miller0863]

I have never seen a yellow for that offence before, ever

[RedNoodle]

I have never seen a yellow for that offence before, ever

Me neither. It's always been a straight red. When he took out the yellow card I thought he was booking Paredes. I should have know better.

[justme]

It would have meant they were 1 down and 1 player down and thats not permitted

[RedNoodle]

Someone should conduct a DNA test on the ref to see if he is the offspring of one Mr H.Webb.

And now Trashford scores.

[miller0863]

And Utd get a big deflection and equalise. Jesus wept they are still getting an incredible amount of luck.

Check his bank account as well, while they are at it

[RedNoodle]

I can't stand PSG, but this is one of the few games I really want them to win.

[miller0863]

I could even stomach a Neymar hat trick in this one

[justme]

Its not luck really,Fred should have been off. says more about the official than anything.

[RedNoodle]

Fred clashes with Paredes again by stepping on his foot and this time Paredes gets booked.

F-me how blatant is this ref?!?!? :mad:

[miller0863]

The deflection was most definitely luck

[RedNoodle]

I would love to see an injury time PSG winner from Kean, but you just know if there is going to be a late winner it's going to be a Fernandes penalty.

[Kev0909]

UTD have to be the most lucky side in the world

how's fred on the pitch?

[RedNoodle]

Unlike another famous Fred, the one playing tonight for Man U definitely has got away with murder.

[ianlfc]

Fuck, Paul Scholes is hard to listen to.

[CCTV]

Chelsea winning 1-0 Giroud
Dortmund lead 1-0 Guirrero
Simon's Brugge lead 1-0 Ketelaere
Barca lead Fernc in 3-0
Juventus lead Dynamo 1-0 Chiesa



Leipzig beat Istanbul 4-3
Krasnodar beat Rennes 1-0

[RedNoodle]

Fuck, Paul Scholes is hard to listen to.

I was thinking the very same. He gives Judas mk 1 a run for his money in that regard.

[Insidious]

Strange how, considering all of the uncertainty that surrounds them these days, Barcelona are actually doing the best in the Champion's League this season - 16 goals scored (as many as Bayern) with only 2 against.

Will be interesting to see where they are come February. Certainly don't back them to win the thing, but it's "only" three ties to navigate to become a Finalist, so if you have some luck in matches and a good draw, anything is possible.

Wonder who they'll face further down the line. They're surely desperate to avoid Bayern.

Never want to peak too early in a Campaign.

[justme]

What i find disgusting is the PSG manager is under a lot of pressure to continue in the champions league and you get refs like that. who will cost him his job

[RedNoodle]

Martial misses a sitter.

[RedNoodle]

Which is why those that say "decisions even themselves out" are talking utter sloblocks.

[RedNoodle]

Giroud gets his and Chelsea's second of the night.

[RedNoodle]

The rac .... I mean Cavani hits the bar with a chip, and Martial can't put in the rebound.

[RedNoodle]

Marquinhos hits the crossbar with a header.

[RedNoodle]

Marquinhos restores PSG lead.

[CCTV]

Cracking player that Marquinhos

[RedNoodle]

Fred has now been sent off!!!!

About time!!!! Lol!!!! :D

[CCTV]

Fred gets his second yellow and his second red - waiting on the sidelines now for VAR :D

[justme]

Fred as been kruggered

[RedNoodle]

I think I'll have another butchers at 'Red Chaff' after their earlier jubilation at Fred not being sent off, and their equaliser.

[Kev0909]

Imagine keeping fred on the pitch

Shit manager

[stevie harkness]

Right said Fred let's have a cup of tea...

[RedNoodle]

Giroud gets his hat-trick.

A vastly underrated player.

[justme]

Here comes Pogba it must be serious

[RedNoodle]

Right said Fred let's have a cup of tea...

Careful. You don't want to overdo it at your age.

[stevie harkness]

Careful. You don't want to overdo it at your age.

Haha! :-)

[RedNoodle]

Giroud gets his fourth of the night from the spot.

[RedNoodle]

PSG break from a Man U corner. Mbappe is away and clear. He could feed Neymar but goes alone and puts the ball wide. Neymar will not be happy about that and is likely to not be sending Mbappe an invite to his Xmas and next birthday bash.

[RedNoodle]

PSG break again, but this time Neymar finds Mbappe, who feeds Rafinha, who in turn feeds Neymar to turn the ball into the net.

Game over. :D

[stevie harkness]

That's a tight Group H now with three teams on 9 points and one game to play.

[Kev0909]

well played Ole keep starting fred, and never sub him!
