Is it just me thinking it or do Liverpool always put 5 past Porto ?
Champions League | Matchday 6
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This is a risky appointment that we would never make but I’m all for it. That Brighton side are woeful yet they play some football and he had success in Sweden and with Swansea. He rings of Spurs or Arsenal
God is Rio stupid at times.
It takes a lot to look dumber than Michael Owen.
What happened?
What he say ?
I'll post a video later. Discussion with Owen about who's better Suarez or Salah.
Who did he say ?
It took me about five minutes to figure out that you weren't stating God is as stupid as Rio is on occasion.
He's just saying shit to get attention to his channel at this point.
I love Rio but man's talking doodoo sometimes
He said neither were fit to lace Ole's boots. It was really weird.
Hahaha. You are messing ? I’m all for Ole but both are much better than he ever was
How in the ever living feck did de Bruyne not get sent off with VAR?
They had similar luck against Bayern last year
I don't want to worry any United fans here...but Villarreal have drawn five of their opening six La Liga games. There's only been nine goals in those games as well.
We only ever draw with Villarreal
Literally only draw. Our H2H is hilarious with them. Though this match is a must win

Michael Owen actually talking 100% sense and even given arguments that crush Rio theory. Owen is right if you base it on 1 season Suarez is miles ahead and Rio saying no because they didn’t win the league is insane. Rio had a mate there
Recency bias. Also think Rio doesn't remember how good Suarez was since he was still playing football for QPR and didn't have time to analyze every goal he does now as a pundit.
That Suarez was insane and the Liverpool side he played in was nothing special. But still Rio saying winning the league makes it is weird and Owen is right my his logic City 11 is the best 11 that season.
City won the league without a ST last year and Kane had a better season than say Jesus but based on Rio argument it would mean Jesus was better.
Owen was talking sense that Suarez was something special and is one of the best seasons ever
Not a liverpool fan, but id take Salahs one season (think it was the one where they won the CL, ugh) over Suarez where liverpool slipped.
Owen saying hes never seen anything like it with regards to Suarez season was a bit OTT
Rio didnt make his points well, but to say Suarez season is miles better than any of Salahs season is surely nonsense.
Any feck liverpool.

Actually I’m with Owen that season from Suarez was insane. 31 goals 18 assists in a decent at best Liverpool side. He literally terrified teams and while Salah level for 4 years has been incredible it never reached them heightsNot a liverpool fan, but id take Salahs one season (think it was the one where they won the CL, ugh) over Suarez where liverpool slipped.

I probably mixed up the seasons anyway. I might be thinking of the season Salah broke his arm in the final (so his first season?). I wouldnt argue though, as I didnt hear the question. I think the season Suarez did it, they finished second (more than decent as Sterling and Sturridge? were really good)., and the season Salah did it, they finished third or fourth and added VVD that season in Jan i think?.
Im sure Salah got 32 prem goals in that season, and 44 overall? Ruud levels.
Salah takes pens for Pool. Suarez didn't. Gerrard scored 10 goals from pens alone that season.
He has a pretty great record vs us from 09 onwards. Seemed to score nearly every time. Goal a game against City too. It's only Chelsea that seem to survive him.Aren't half of those against Arsenal
Suarez was comfortably better. He's one of the handful from players of this generation that goes into that absolute elite category. Complete striker.
He scored either 2 or 3 vs Chelsea last time Barca played them*. They were the last to fall.
e - he had an amazing game vs Jose's Chelsea back in 2005 or 06 (when Ronaldinho was the undisputed star of the team and he was a young addition to the squad), first time facing them, but subsequent performances were poor and he didn't score against them for another ~10 years.
*1 in the 1st leg, 2 in the second+1 assist, 4-1 aggregate.

Oh look another team's failures being used to defend Ole. Must be #devoidoflogic
his record is
9 in 6 Arsenal
8 in 8 City
4 in 6 Us
2 in 2 Spurs
2 in 4 Liverpool
3 in 10 Chelsea.
Chelsea are the only one that seem to get away with a good record
28 goals in 35 plus 6 assists.
But some will tell you he would struggle with Watford
Real are in rebuild and at their worst in years and we are at our best. These results happen and I wouldn’t be upset about the Young Boys match if it was a one off but it is not it’s starting to become the norm
Whoa!! BBC running with "City fall to the great Messi. No inquest needed into Guardiola"
From the game it hardly seemed to be City falling for the genius of Messi. Extrapolating one goal into 90 mins seems way OTT
In Paris on Tuesday, there was no need for any talk of over-complication, and there were no fingers pointed accusingly - this was a simple case of Guardiola and City falling victim to a little genius with an impeccable sense of timing.

That goal was sublime, but I agree I wouldn’t say it was 90 minutes of Messi genius that hurt City but rather a moment of genius from Messi that ended the match.
PSG was already winning before he scored. It's Messi after all and it'll always be him that's influencing the game even if he's invisible for most of it.
I always thought he was a low budget Quaresma with more luck and less actual ability with an undying interest in believing his hype. If you are in League 1 and you’re supposed to be the Neymar the world yells about, you should be conveniently coasting it.
But I don’t remember ever watching him and thinking this guy is special.
He isn’t, and he plays too much for the camera.
Why he gets away with so little I don’t know. I would appreciate if someone can share his stats since he got to PSG.
Such a strange game. City absolutely dominated them...except for the 2 goals. Have to ask what they were doing letting Messi run at them like that, he was anonymous otherwise and everybody knows thats his favourite way to score.
Good result for everybody really. City look neutered without a striker, and PSG were second rate for most of it. Both easily beatable.

This is just untrue, Brighton have some great players, one of the best defences in the premier league last season, Lamptey, Cucurella, Bissouma, Dunk, Trossard to name just a few are far from woeful. We have a good side, a good chairman and a good manager at the moment.
Why wasn't DBryne tackle not a RED? Same tackles as in Euros were RED as was AWB in YB game . Strange one
Yeah but from last season they lost White and replaced him with Duffy. Look at Brighton whole squad it’s nothing special and the impressive thing Potter does is the way he gets them playing. xG last season didn’t move any team more than 2 places from their actual position bar Brighton who should of been 7 places better off.
They were the most wasteful team in the league I remember them against Palace and they had 21 shots too Palace 2 with Palace having 3 touches in Brighton box and winning 1-0 really summed up Brighton.
Potter is doing a great job there and if he left they be in trouble, Bissouma is class but the rest you named are just decent PL players and they are Brighton’s best
Was mostly the same and obviously was a accident but the thing I hate the most is the inconsistency because if AWB is red then the same challenges have to have the same result
