Raya’s command of his area is seriously impressive.

Jack of all trades. Master of none. A great plug and play guy that always gives his all. Perfect squad player.
Saw it on replay, yeah he kicked through his foot.
Odegaard is an incredible footballer.
Atalanta slapping everyone casually again.
Wow, Sporting are getting destroyed
Speaking of the keeper: I always said that Donnaruma is overrated but is he benched or coming back from an injury?
For a bloke who is basically a midget by GK standards, he's incredible at claiming crosses etc.
Gabriel with Gyokeres’ celebration 
Miss him a lot more when we sign him
Worst half of football this season I’ve seen from you guys. You seriously look a shadow of yourselves from 2 weeks ago. Passing isn’t crisp, the movement isn’t there and the spaces are definitely not there. The manager literally didn’t have to change a thing when he took over. It will be interesting to see how you guys bounce back from this for the rest of your season.
Why does football coverage in this country all have to be lowest common detonator guff
Isn't he injury prone?Miss him a lot more when we sign him
Atleti won 0-6!!
Shame we concede such an unfortunate pen. We had City somewhat under control at the end of the half.
It's funny Timber marks Haaland during corners. He's like 1/3 his size.

Why is nuno mendes playing striker
Sad that Sané overhit that ball, would have looked fantastic going in with near zero spin
Flashbacks of Gary Medel usually marking 1.90 guys at set pieces
Every time I watch Sane, each and every finish of his ends up straight at the keeper.
We are getting destroyed and second half yet to come. Reality check hitting hard. I kind expected this anyways. We need 6 points from the last 4 games.
Hope Saka gets taken out at HT.
Damn we should lead by 2 by now.
PSG is only dangerous when we make mistakes and they can counter. I'm underwhelmed by Vitinha, Neves, Ruiz and WZE so far.

He is so quick to move the ball through the lines. Links it all together beautifully.
So it's all your fault, could you not?
If Amorim only had a couple of training sessions to try and get his influence across, surely the same logic can be applied to Sporting?
Understandable Barca are playing Brest off the park, but frustrating from a Brest perspective that the goal was a stupid penalty to give by Bizot. 1-0 is not the worst half time result, but they would have been delighted with 0-0.
They also looked decent before the goal, since then haven't offered anywhere near as much.

You need 2-3 players to man mark him (even that didn't work, as evident against Chelsea when he still assisted despite being surrounded), you man mark him by 2-3 players then Saka and Martinelli will destroy teams with the space left.
Saka is already unplayable in most games (like today) so its not as easy to man mark Odegaard and get away with it.
Otherwise Klopp, Pep would have done it multiple times.
I sound very snobby I promise its just text speech! I do totally get what you mean but aside from Rodri I am sure you'll agree the league doesn't have a really GOOD DM.
Young Boys Atalanta is what you seek
But they aren’t playing a new system. I’m not even sure what the incoming manager would change when they have been flawless this season.
Arsenal have been very good since Odegaard came back in. The better side at Chelsea and then comfortably beat Forest, now 3-0 up at HT against a good Sporting side.
Yes, they are probably the best team in the country while City are not themselves.
No. I'm not talking about training or time. I was specifically talking about CV. Ruben Amorim when appointed was a young manager with residual experience but at least he managed a top tier team in Portugal at Braga, had very good results with them against the 3 big clubs in Portugal and won a league cup. João Pereira was our B team coach with no CV or experience who got appointed because he's friend with some Sporting board members. This hire is inexcusable for me.
Too reliant on Odegaard and Saka imo. Without the former, they're less effective as an attacking team.
That's kind of my point. Sly is blaming the clueless manager, when it looks as if he hasn't really changed much, and it looks like he's trying to keep things similar in terms of formation and personnel?
Those two passes Davies fecked up and basically assisted PSG almost had me shouting at the TV.
They just need another fortunate season on the injury front like last year, keep those two fit, and they'll win the title. Been saying in the Arsenal thread that people have been too quick to jump on their poor form. I still see them as firm favorites for the title, followed by Liverpool.
My sincerest apologies. Although, the same thing happens every time I watch Dembele too, if that's any consolation.
He could be referencing the fact that the manager is below par and lacks charisma. Same with us with Ten Hag. He had the players to at least finish top 4 but he couldn’t.
So you are unhappy at the manager appointment in general then I get it. Not sure if he can be blamed for the performance in this game was my kinda point.
Neves only needs one moment of genius to turn a game around. Beware!
