Pochettino at breakfast tomorrow morning:
Champions League Knockouts (12 Aug - 23rd Aug)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
You didn't understand me. Who scores more goals is a better team. You can't lose in something (anything) and say; i was better. No you didn't. Because you lost.
Oh and also, city had twice as much of a chance to win this comp with the single game knockouts! Shocking.
You should congratulate your Government on being able to actually deal with Covid in a efficient and organised way unlike us chumps.
Okay well I imagine especially with the lack of Money in Serie A and coronavirus that the core group at Juve won't have too many world class additions. Doubt Lyon will either but they are apparently a better team and play in a worse league. So fairly easy bet for you I assume.
What?? Really?
Neither City nor Barcelona lost because of fewer resting days
Oh my god man! I was agreeing with city fans this year that sterling had improved on his finishing haha!
The way City has been knocked out in recent years has been absolutely hilarious. Late VAR involvements, missed sitters
I thought last years VAR call against Spurs was good but Sterling missing a very open goal to tie the game and Ederson fumbling 30sec after to kill the game completely actually topped it.
Fighting off his @Amadaeus love letters?Pochettino at breakfast tomorrow morning:
Nice jinx right? Should make the same for Utd tommorow
Please

I think you're being kind there to be honest. It was the most open of open goals.

I was still laughing from the Sterling miss and hadn't recovered when Ederson (haha, Errorson) did that. I almost died.
They have played better football this season. What about that do you not understand?
They are in the Semi finals for a reason
just as Ajax were last season granted that Ajax team was much better then this Lyon team.Was it wrong to say Ajax was a better team then Juve last season? or is that wrong too.
You are analyzing things in such a simplistic way.
My point was proven with Lyon.
Yeah, said his miss was the crucial point.
Oh my god, so entertaining!I was still laughing from the Sterling miss and hadn't recovered when Ederson (haha, Errorson) did that. I almost died.
Of course being fresher is an advantage.
But on the other side being out of rhythm is a disadvantage.
You act like every team is at its best at the beginning of the season (Bayerns break was just about as long as normally between two seasons) and then get worse the longer the season goes.
And why didn't you answer my questions? You can say that bayern outrun and outpowered Barca, but Bayern had the physically better players for years.
Did Lyon outrun City tonight or what?
Where did you see this huge advantage in the Europe League?
And yeah, of course I'm defending my club. But the main reason for this is not that it's my club but the fact that you disrespected the Bundesliga and League 1 for years now, always calling them a farmers league.
Now 2 teams of these leagues are in the CL semifinals and instead of giving them credit for it, you blame the "huuuge advantage" they had. That's just disrespectful.
Hahaha!
I can hear a City fan down the street shouting 'Oh, my God! Oh, my God!'
Meanwhile, I'm sticking my head out of the window and laughing at top volume!
So Lyon it is to support but they have no hope in the next game so let's hope Bayern can win the whole thing for football. Anyone know if Veratti will be back for the final?
Haha fair play mate -
"Different year, same stuff." Exactly how I felt during Peps time. At the end I was really done with the high backline every single game. Any team couuld score at any time. Still don't understand why he is so stubborn. He is such a great manager in every other aspect.
Pep is a fuccking joke! All he cares about is showing the world that he can do clever formations and tactics. He’s a shocking coach defensively, I’d be delighted if they signed Koulibaly for 80m.
Why the shit did he play that formation tonight?!

Yes, Mourizio Sarri, City's famous defending in Europe, Coronavirus and being a moderately talented team with a half decent manager.
Ajax won their league so it is a hard comparison.
You have no interest in putting your money where your mouth is. That is pretty simple.
It´s all about semantics, I guess, but if the ref wrongly ruled out my goal, I would say you were luckier, not better. You wouldn´t say that the one winning the in the lottery was the better guesser, would you?
Edit: Or let me rephrase: Would you say that the one winning the lottery is better at guessing numbers?
1-3
Kyle Walker amazing for the first goal
The world class fullback that he is
City should be able to give Bayern a game, says Linekar and co.
Oh wait
BT Sport counting those chickens before they hatch. Not what a good farmer does.

Barcelona were knackered and you pressed them for 90minutes. It was clear as day. You'd still have beaten them in normal conditions, but not by that scoreline.
It's not fewer resting days ffs, it's weeks of resting days! You've had a pre season unlike Spain, England and Italy who will be charging straight back into another campaign. Anyone remotely objective could see the fitness level difference in your game. You honestly don't think having a mentally and physically fatigued team isn't an issue in a knockout competition? Come on... it's been a big issue for all our leagues in the last few weeks.
Our players have had huge issues with fatigue, Rashford can barely run.
As for City, I predicted they'd lose and actually made money on it, so i'm very happy tonight.
I never said it was bad luck...
City played poorly and Guardiola got it all wrong tactically.....but, I dont agree with you though, I still think overall they were the better side but due to the poor tactics they didnt have enough bodies in the box to create the chances they could have and when they did, they fluffed them and were also poor defensively, DeGea like errors cost them. If things went there way the score could have been 3-1 4-0 the other way.....they got what they deserved though, I think Guardiola and individual errors lost them the tie rather than Lyon winning it, they created little themselves
Sorry, I disagree, you could have a game where one own goal decides it so team a loses but they could have had 99% possession, hit the woodwork numerous times, intricate passing moves but the strikers just keep missing. How in this scenario is team b better?
That bloke is oozing stupidity like no other. I can't look at him for too long without risking cerebral damage
The bet makes zero sense and you sound silly. If I am talking about THIS season comparisons between the clubs why the feck would I make a bet on next season.
You need to read before making non sensical posts.
Ajax did win there league but they are also the richest and strongest club in there league in a league that is worse then Ligue 1.
My point stands. Lyon have played better football then Juve this season just as Ajax did last season. They have shown that by getting to the CL semi finals by eliminating the Italian champions and the EPL runner ups.
I am talking about the current season.
Why would I make a bet when one club has far superior finances and resources to buy and recruit top players.
Reading your last post and "justification" of "put your money where your mouth is might have actually given me cancer.
Hell I would bet you $500 Bayern batter them in the next round. That still would not change my point.
I thought that by luck you mean when you hit pists, miss empty goals etc....
If ref has impact that is something else. I should have said; if one team wins fair i guess. When ref cost you a game it is not luck. It is robbery.
Hey let's not rewrite history here ok. Only 99.7% of the goal was open as the heel of one of the keepers boots was slightly in the way if Sterling wanted to place the ball low inside the right post.
