Morgan Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Champions League time again, albeit this one will be different in many ways. Tuesday 20th October 2020 Chelsea v Seville Barcelona v Ferencvaros PSG v Manchester United Zenit St.Petersburg v Club Bruges Dynamo Kiev v Juventus Rennes v FK Krasnodar Lazio v Borussia Dortmund RB Leipzig v Istanbul Basaksehir I’m not sure how I think some of these games will go, but I’d like to see wins for Seville, Ferencvaros, Manchester United and Juventus.

Morgan Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 As long as Chelsea and Barcelona lose, I’m happy. Quote

Mikey1874 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Posted above because I was looking for the Chelsea team. Stranger things have happened. Edited October 20, 2020 by Mikey1874 Quote
Tazio Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Think I’ll watch the Man Utd - PSG game. I like watching Naymar and his full repertoire of falls and screams. Quote
Tazio Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 It seems that it’s a new rule that referees need to be prefixed with their nationality on BT Sport. Pretty much every time he’s been mentioned in the Man Utd game he’s been called “the Spanish referee” Quote

Tazio Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Also, I genuinely thought that Man Utd strip was a bad photoshop joke up by someone online until tonight. Quote
Mikey1874 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Man Utd enjoying being a counter attacking team. Quote

Mikey1874 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 2 games watched Chelsea could do with a more experienced manager though credit to Sevilla for continuing the magic Man Utd still have a lot to do to qualify from this group. But credit to a very good defensive performance with some players delivering. Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Shaw, McTominay, Lindelof, Tuanzebe were all excellent. Which is slightly bizarre saying it. Nice finish for the winner. Counter attacking side. Maybe one of the best around. Quote
Morgan Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 Wednesday 21st October 2020 FC Red Bull Salzburg v Locomotiv Moscow Bayern Munich v Atletico Madrid Real Madrid v Shakhtar Donetsk Inter Milan v Borussia Monchengladbach Manchester City v FC Porto Olympiakos v Marseille Ajax v Liverpool FC Midtjylland v Atalanta A few good games tonight. I’m hoping for wins for Atletico, Real, Inter, Porto and Liverpool. Quote
Tazio Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 I just switched on the Real Madrid match and they’re playing their match at the small stadium at their training centre surprisingly. Makes good sense though and it’s nicer than some SPFL grounds. Quote

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 It’s quite funny to see the air of resignation at Barca and Madrid. No longer able to outspend everyone or to rely on the local council to pick up the tab. And going backwards rapidly. Quote

Put (unneeded) roofs on the stands and it’s nicer than the likes of Hamilton and Ross County. Quote

Mikey1874 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Not having seen it, I do think its progress that offsides are now being given for players standing in front of the goalkeeper. But tough to see the right angle. Is keeper really affected? Quote

But tough to see the right angle. Is keeper really affected? He was right in front of him. Plus he lifted his leg to let the ball pass under. I think there was a straight line between the shot, obstructing player and goalie. Edited October 21, 2020 by HMFC01 Quote

But tough to see the right angle. Is keeper really affected? I'd say so, this is where it's getting over complicated. The guy is about a metre in front of the keeper, with it taking a deflection aswell he only has milliseconds to adjust his positioning. The whole VAR offsides I think should be used in clear and obvious situations, considering the attacker used to get the advantage until this season ala Mane v Everton with a part of the body that is not allowed to touch the ball. It just seems they're rolling a dice every year. Quote

Boof Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Ajax corner. 11 Liverpool players less than 18 yards from their own goal line - 10 of them in the box and 1 covering the short corner. And not covering it very well Quote
Jeff Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Bayern the team to beat again. They looked incredible tonight Quote
Seymour M Hersh Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Good result for LFC tonight. Some excellent performances after a slightly wobbly start. Quote

IMO if your in the box your Interfering with play in someway. Quote
Jeff Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Lazy by Vinicius and the correct decision by VAR. Atletico had a similar goal chopped off Quote
