Champions League | Matchday 6

Still 0-0 in Barcelona, Barca really should win this, otherwise they could finish 3rd as they go to Munich in last game while Benfica play vs Dynamo Kiev at home.

Chelsea are gonna smash us but at least we did our job in CL :D
 
Chelsea are ruthless as a club. No matter how many dips they have, they'll only have it for 1-2 seasons and then they'll be back with a major trophy / a very good side.
 
That’s the standard we’re up against nowadays. We should be bringing the absolute best manager into the club now.
 
Juventus haven't been that bad either.

Offered very little going forward. They played exactly this way in the first game. We were just very toothless against their defence. Different story tonight.

Ruthless is definitely the right word — there’s no room for sentiment there. Youth players who are good but not good enough will get cut/sent on loan for eternity, literal top 3 club legends will get booted if they aren’t cutting the mustard. It really works.

Yep, I understand why United are reluctant to adopt the same approach but it only really works not to take the approach if you're a) In a 'one horse league' type situation like Bayern or b) you have the best / a top 3 manager in the world ala CIty.

Umm, Bayern are fecking ruthless when it comes to their manager. They'll chop heads if the manager isn't performing to their almost perfect standards. We're actually the only club that is so sentimental, possibly because we expect another Fergie regen to land here any day now.

We've been a bit fortunate this season with (failed) transfers. If Hakimi and Kounde had signed, Chalobah might be on loan at somewhere like Villa and James on the bench.
 
Ziyech has been pretty impressive this second half.

I meant the a) part more in a way where Bayern can have a sub par manager and still probably win the league. But yes, I agree with your overall point.
 
Are Barca actually going to let me down on my acca? With United, Chelsea and Atalanta they were the banker!

Don't have the game on, are they looking likely?

They have been dominating the second half hard, Benfica hardly having a sniff of ball.

As soon as they score, Young Boys score.

That’s unfortunate.
