UEFA Champions League 18/19 Matchday 2 fixtures (2nd - 3rd October 2018)

[Tommy]

Insigne is shorter than the corner flag

 

[Carl]

Without Eriksen and Alli there's nothing special in Spurs team bar Kane tbh.

I'd say most teams would struggle without their 3 best players tbf!

 

[ivaldo]

So have BT really just spent the last 5 minutes talking about how amazing it is when Messi stands still?

I'm actually using this as an excuse for Spurs and Poch today.

 

[Klopper76]

We've been a bit sloppy so far.

 

[Cheech Wizard]

I just knew we'd pick up an injury in this game before Sunday..

 

[Klopper76]

Keita's coming off injured for Henderson.

 

[Zehner]

Rakitic is terrible so far

 

[Carl]

I just knew we'd pick up an injury in this game before Sunday..

Losing what can only be described as a bit part player is hardly the end of the world.

 

[Tommy]

What exactly happened? I'm watching, but can't figure it out Really sucks for the lad.

 

[duffer]

Who is injured?

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

You have 3 superstars and you're missing 2. Not sure you'll argue that's a big blow.

Definitely Chelsea will look half the team without Hazard and Kante. Chelsea fans won't argue I believe.

It just seems a pointless statement which could be applied to nearly every team in the world.

 

[Irrational.]

Who is injured?

Keita stretchered off. Looks bad.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Try to win corners Spurs. That is a safe way to try to score

 

[Liver_bird]

Double blow, we lose Keita presumably for a while and I have to watch Henderson play.

 

[Jake]

Ref giving everything Barca’s way here

 

[el3mel]

It just seems a pointless statement which could be applied to nearly every team in the world.

I'm not using to down play Spurs. It's actually an excuse for any result today.

 

[duffer]

Yep. If Man United were without De Gea and Fellaini they'd not be the same.

 

[duffer]

Keita stretchered off. Looks bad.

Shame for him. Time for Fabinho to come in?

 

[Tommy]

Yep. If Man United were without De Gea and Fellaini they'd not be the same.

I was struggling for a third to make this post. Was torn between Young & Shaw.

Shame for him. Time for Fabinho to come in?

Hendo is on.

 

[Liver_bird]

Can't we keep Gini in the 6. Henderson stands on the CBs toes and can't play out of pressure.

 

[Klopper76]

Shame for him. Time for Fabinho to come in?

No, time for captain knobbly knees.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

"Don't see him make those errors very often"

Commentator clearly doesn't watch Spurs.

 

[duffer]

Hendo is on.

I'm sorry.

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Shame for him. Time for Fabinho to come in?

Henderson gets in over him, Fabinho's been below average tbh from the little we've seen.

 

[Liver_bird]

I'm sorry.

 

[kouroux]

What is Winks' point ?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

We struggle with our 3 best players.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

"Don't see him make those errors very often"

he wasn't referring to Lloris..was he?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What is Winks' point ?

Don't know. Is it a small village in Devon?

 

[VorZakone]

What is Winks' point ?

"Recycling possession" ?

 

[Tommy]

We've offered so little offensively so far.

 

[duffer]

Lordy!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What a goal from Rakitic.

 

[izec]

What a strike

 

[McLovin]

feck me

 

[Carl]

We struggle with our 3 best players.

Not sure we could say anyone is "best" at united. I prefer to look at it as which are the least shit. And it's difficult!

 

[Liver_bird]

TAA has been beyond poor

 

[saivet]

Cracking finish from Rakatic.

 

[FireballXL5]

Rakitic is terrible so far

You were saying....
