Quality signing.

That would be 300m, thanks.

 

[TheNewEra]

That would be 300m, thanks.

Special deal for you only 250m

 

[Blood Mage]

McTominay has been great for the last couple of games and deserves to be starting ahead of Casemiro right now, let's not allow agendas to cloud that fact. And I'm one of McTominay's biggest critics on here.

What's shocking to me is Ronaldo starting when he's offering nothing currently. I would have gone with McNeil or used Sancho as a false 9 and put Garnacho on the left.

 

[Hoof the ball]

That would be 300m, thanks.

Champions League McSauce.

 

[Fully Fledged]

Hargreaves' hair looks minging. Has he ever heard of shampoo?

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Just seen snip of ETH interview. Great as he’s pretty honest and I do smile when he takes a question literally and doesn’t get the nuance.

Commentator ”you’re given the crowd what they want with Ronaldo playing?”

ETH “it’s not about the crowd, it’s best for the team”



Also, didnt realise how close to Ukraine that ground is??

 

[SirScholes]

Nor me but I guess the message is a good one play well and you stay in. I'm sure hes had a word with Casemiro to let him know his time is coming soon

Very true
Also what would the message be if he replaced McTominay
“Doesn’t matter if you play well or not I pick players on rep”
It’s great management for me, and a welcomed surprise to see him doing well

 

[Bobski]

Casemiro, might be after the WC before we really see him settle in. Different type of challenge for McT tonight, should have most of the ball against a team likely to defend deep.

 

[BusbyMalone]

I don’t think it’s so much that, more like ETH giving him time to learn the style of play and also his commitment to not benching players in good form, eg McT.

Yeah, a mixture of both I expect. When he has played, he hasn't looked great. McTominay rightly keeping his place.

 

[stu_1992]

Good decision to go full strength considering the postponed games and the loss in the first game. Could do with Ronaldo blowing them away and getting a few goals for his own form as much as this game.

McTominay over Casemiro strange on paper but you can't deny their respective form.

 

[TheNewEra]

Yeah, a mixture of both I expect. When he has played, he hasn't looked great. McTominay rightly keeping his place.

By some point in October I think Casemiro will start to take McTs place

 

[Deery]

Ronaldo nailed on to score tonight I think..

 

[fergosaurus]

Had no idea the group winners progress straight to the last 16. Would be a welcome bonus if we could avoid another couple of matches in an already congested season.

 

[SATA]

A river please anyone?

Ronaldo hasn't been great but this is silly, he's still easily our best option if Martial isn't fit. We want to do well in the EL, it might be our only route into the CL.

 

[Offside]

Penalty

 

[Rightnr]

Not only that, you get to avoid some potential banana skins dropping from the CL e.g. Juve, Ajax, etc.

 

[Deery]

Penalty

Header guaranteed..

 

[TheNewEra]

Header guaranteed..

Chested in with his right nipple, I'll give you 1/10,000 odds

 

[Dudu]

Have a good feeling about this game.

Ronaldo masterclass incoming.

 

[Deery]

Deal

Has that always been the case or is this a new addition?

 

[fergosaurus]

True, a lot riding on the game in Sociedad. Top four will be a huge ask given how strong the league is this year so we need to take the EL seriously.

 

[fergosaurus]

Has that always been the case or is this a new addition?

New apparently

 

[elmo]

Someone needs to remind Ronaldo that top scorer between him and Messi is up for grabs in the Europa.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Love the apartment block in the background. Proper European vibes.

 

[Fortitude]

You have to find amusement in Ronaldo playing in the EL and particularly so with a massive block of apartments looming over the stadium.

You wouldn't blame him for being absolutely baffled and appalled.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Going for a bold 0-4 away win

 

[Bobski]

I want to see Lisandro mark their skipper on set pieces.

 

[Jeffthered]

I just hope we do not get over-run in midfield (they look a young team..). Surprised Casemeiro isn't starting but there we go. Accomodating both Bruno and Erikksen is not easy.

 

[mav_9me]

Ronaldo already giving the ball away. Sigh.

 

[Jeffthered]

...and I hope we impose ourselves on the game. And not let them 'settle'.

 

[Jules_T]

Ronaldo is not out-jumping the 6'7" center back

 

[CallyRed]

We have to beat sheriff tiramisu.

sorry its the phone

 

[The Firestarter]

Camera angles are painful

 

[mav_9me]

I'll be happy with a 1-0, 2-1 win.

 

[Dudu]

These camera angles..

wtf.

 

[Massive Spanner]

7 internationals and some youngsters on the bench?

Not that weak really

Being an international is never a great way to judge how strong your side is. It’s not actually that hard to get into a national team as a top division level footballer, unless it’s for Brazil or France or another huge nation.

 

[holdsteady]

Not exactly quick out of the gates here

 

[Tony247]

One thing I hate most in players is if they don't turn up against smaller teams. That is lack of professionalism and accountability.

I hope the team will play with the same intensity as they did against Arsenal.
