If this stays like this, Man Utd will have scored 3 goals in each of their away games in this group…
… and gotten one point.
The Galata defending is quite bad. So open in every Utd attack.
Interesting article. One thing that was also noticeable at the start of the season was Ødegaard dropping much deeper to receive the ball as well. I haven’t seen it as much recently I think though.
The word ‘deserve’ has no place in sports unless there’s been a refereeing error imo. This penalty is not one, the rules of handball and ‘unnaturally bigger’ are just way too subjective. Also there’s nothing in the rule that says if the ball hits another part of your body first it’s not handball.
And yes, with 4.5 xG and 9 big chances, PSG win this around… 95% of the time?
How is Brooke Norton-Cuffy doing?
Gamedaaaaayyyyy!
Ah man, really like AC Milan and wanted to see them through. Still a small hope I guess.
Fotmob has the PSG - Newcastle xG at 4.47 (!!!) - 1.48, with 8 (!) big chances missed for PSG. Mon dieu.
I agree with this, I just think the fact he’s only been ‘ok’ so far doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be just ‘ok’ for us over 4-5 years. The first few months in a new team/system are the hardest. He can come good.
Looking forward to watching some CL footy tonight. If both AC Milan and PSG win, Newcastle are out, while if the away teams get something they could both potentially even finish top. Big gameweek for that group.
Yeah that was the question, which ones? What’s the lineup?
Arsenal, Man City, Bayern München, Real Madrid, Liverpool are possibly the top 5 sides in Europe at this point in time, in whatever order.
I know there’s a game to be played on Wednesday and I’m not taking anything for granted, but if we win and top the group, how are you lining up for the last CL group game?
Chances of Villa playing such a high line against us are virtually non-existent, of course.
Torreeeeeees gooolllll
People complaining about it taking too long to get the (correct) offside call. I’d rather they take the whole day and reach the correct conclusion.
Games lasting a couple of minutes more is a very small price to pay for sporting integrity.
Interesting shout.
Haven’t watched that much of him in real life, all I know is if he’s as good as FM thinks, he’s really good!
On a more serious note, he’s got 15 goals out of 9.59 xG this season which is 2nd and 3rd in the Bundesliga, respectively. The problem is he’s at an age where he’s practically got no resale value but if the initial outlay is as low as 17M, then that’s not much of a concern anyway.
Trippier cannot believe the ref blew for a foul after a Newcastle player pushed an opponent.
What happened? Missed it.
