Well, he made the right call by starting Musiala tonight. Lazio hardly looked like a Champions League calibre though.
I don't watch the other leagues enough to know...but VAR in the EPL becomes a bigger and bigger joke by the gameday. United should've had a pk against Chelsea on the weekend. Fulham just got robbed of a goal vs Spurs that would've tied the game. They called a handball against a Fulham player who's arm was at his side and the ball was struck into him. Absolutely nothing he could do. It was ball into arm which was in a natural position. The goal that was taken from City yesterday was beyond silly (not that it mattered in the end). There's too many instances of bad calls being made worse. On top of that...this nonsense where the linesmen don't put their flag up immediately when an offside offense occurs is the height of stupidity. I keep seeing players be 5 or more yards offside and they play on, only to have the flag go up 30 seconds later. What is the point of that? I believe there have been players injured in that extra play even though there was a clear offside that could've just stopped the play before something bad happened.
I thought the United game was a clear handball he reached up and over his shoulder to tip it away. Was shocked it was not called. DD
Little too late, still one of the best we had. Klopp and Flick are unavailable as successors, so - eventhough I dislike him - Rangnick would be the best option to form a new team around Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnabry, Sané, Havertz and Werner. It would also mean that Bierhoff is finally gone...
Would love them to give Kuntz a chance, he's a brilliant coach imo that proved it in several tournaments and brought a lot of these guys up in the youth teams. He's also understanding and addressing the issues of German football extremely well in interviews.
Scott McTominay is crap, his touch is suspect his decision making is suspect and other than being physical he is just not good enough, - would jettison and play VanDeBeek who is much more skilled. DD
Great draw for Real Madrid. Matchup against Liverpool is a toss-up and so would a matchup against Chelsea. Sucks for the three monsters on the other side.
Not feeling good about meeting PSG again, our defense has been much worse this season and they gotta be poised for revenge. PSG, Liverpool, City and Chelsea advancing.
I got Bayern, City, Madrid and Chelsea advancing. (That Madrid vs Liverpool one is a tough one imo since neither team is particularly impressive. Plus, I refuse to discount Bayern- helps that I'm not a realistic Bayern fan like some of y'all ) City vs Madrid in the final. Either way City is winning it this year...finally.
