JackLadd Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 These 4 teams are not very English. All foreign owned, managed, and you'd be struggling to put one English team together out the four of them.

Not sure why folk are getting so excited about the lack of English representation within the starting elevens? Liverpool and Spurs both had stand out performances by English players and Maitland-Niles wasn't too bad tonight either. The English Premier League has global appeal and that is reflected in the cosmopolitan composition of each squad. How amazing must it be for a young Egyptian kid to see Mohamed Salah play for Liverpool, or a young kid from Gabon to watch in wonder at what Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did tonight. I was excited enough seeing Andy Robertson getting in about Messi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange that a venue is chosen without any travel arrangements being put in place. Maybe they will announce new flights etc how finalists are known. Though with just 12,000 fans of finalists maybe not bother. Azerbaijan presumably have thrown the money at UEFA. Think they have games in 2020 Euro finals too. Baghdad is nearer and probably easier to get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorri1 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'd like to see Sarri win a trophy. He deserved something for his job at Napoli and this season has deserved a lot better than the attitude of some of the players and the fans. Up until Ahbramovic, Chelsea fans would have been over the moon with a 3rd place finish, Champions league qualification, League Cup Final and UEFA Cup / Europa League final. Now it's widely accepted that he'll probably move on as the fans haven't taken to him. I get that football has changed but I feel he deserves to continue given his work this season and it would be great to see him get some tangible success.
