The Europa League 2017/18(Use the SF thread to discuss the current match)

[Ridge Racer]

I'm in Bilbao watching their game on TV in a bar. Christ, they've gone to shit! Awful stuff. Glad I didn't bother getting a ticket now.

They botched Valverde's replacement really bad. I mistrust these appointments "from below", Guardiolas and Zidanes are the exception, not the norm. They should get a real coach ASAP

Also I don't know why but Basque teams are usually terrible in European competitions. It's a waste of time that they keep qualifying for European comps

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

The top four leagues all get 4 automatic spots starting next season, they don't even go into the playoffs.

Alright I guess it doesn't matter then.

Good on those Arsenal youngsters

Fair play to Wenger for blooding so many academy players in a decent competition.

Credit to the manager. Always love seeing managers taking risk.
But these kids are getting bigger or is it just me?

They train better so probably, more muscular.

Lokomotiv Moscow already 2-0 up. Hoffenheim lead as well.

 

[GifLord]

Is Rooney playing as a striker?

 

[GhastlyHun]

Hoffenheim to save a bit of face for the Bundesliga? I'll take it.

[Dante]

I've had cod roe. Never tried sardine roe.

 

[Scorpy]

Can see Koeman getting the sack if Everton lose tonight.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Great pace in Lyon-Atalanta.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

That cross from Rooney

Never doubted him!

 

[Slevs]

So glad Rooney isn't our problem anymore.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

1-1 Rooney.

 

[Keeps It tidy]

That might be the worst backpass I have ever seen.

 

[TheReligion]

Why did we let Rooney go FFS

 

[freeurmind]

Ashley Williams: I'm going to make a bad defensive error in this game.

Hecotr Yuste: Hold my beer...

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

The level of defending in the last few games I've watched from CSKA, BATE, Everton, Apollon and even Arsenal has been absolutely appalling.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Rooney turning back the years with a PHENOMENAL solo effort

 

[Slevs]

Rooney has lost the ball every time.

 

[GifLord]

Rooney



and then he scores after a gift from the Apoel defender

 

[marlowe78]

Williams may just be outdone tonight.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Rooney



and then he scores after a gift from the Apoel defender

The goal

 

[We need an rvn]

I've literally written three messages in three minutes about wayne and deleted 2 of them whilst watching

1. Retire as you've lost your touch so badly
2. Poacher goal, get in lad
3. Played 25 minutes and you look spent

Ps. How empty is the Milan stadium

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Good pestering.

 

[FireballXL5]

Apart from that absolute gift, Rooney has been fecking dreadful.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Braga take the lead.

 

[Slevs]

I'd love to see Rooney's stats so far. (passed made, balls lost etc)

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

1-1 Basaksehir and 1-0 AEK.

 

[Peyroteo]

Braga take the lead.

1-1 now. Great goal

 

[Keeps It tidy]

Lyon are not good at all but, they are probably going to destroy Everton.

Craig Hignett on Apoel "I doubt that they can beat Everton but they are no mugs'

Insightful.
