Wow 2-2

Look at Yann Sommer 36 year old. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. And we have Onana

Firebox123:
best right wing back in Italy

Inter has the best 2 wing backs in the world.

Dumfries and Di Marco

Because of one first starts.
You give the senior players games to prove themselves but write of young boys based on one game. Hehehe.

Make nobody call for youths again for this board sha.

I didn't write them off, I said they should continue with their development, there was never any time I was in favour throwing youngsters into the deep end to avoid them being affected psychologically. I am in favour of giving them chance in dead rubber games, but they should form the fabric of the squad

Bombblacks:
In what universe did we play better than Arsenal and Real Sociedad away?

Try and watch match. Stop using livescore.

Bombblacks:
Even if he had used his best 11 it's likely we would have still lost going by his record. We have one win in our last 7 league games and that was against a relegated Leicester.

Ok. You are right.

Notice how Liverpool made 7 changes and lost comfortably agaisnt this rubbish Chelsea team. Thos was almost the same team that Slot fielded versus Plymouth and lost.
But some people want Amorim to use Fredricson, Amass, Bayindir, Chido Obi and dead legged Eriksen, Mount and Shaw and win Brentford away.

If I talk now they will say I am belittling other people just because they are making their points. But you sef check the points you are making, how does it make sense to you?

engrelvis:
I dnt understand . Must he conceede every game? listen he has been damn lucky in Europa . We v been playing mostly against 10 man team

Wow, we played agaisnt Arsenal 11 vs 11 and we were the better team.

We played agaisnt Sociedad away 11-11 and we were the better team.
We played away to Lyon 11 vs 11 and was winning until Onana gave away a goal.

Agaisnt Bilbao who has the best defence in la liga we were 2-0 up before the red card. So how does that translate to winning due to 10 men.
I have been watching how many people's talk here about the team and the manager, all I can do is to just laugh.

Chido Obi at 17 is a wonderful prospect, but is not ready yet for EpL games starting. He needs to continue with the youth team and eventually go on a loan to develop more skillsz. but I was told that he is better than Hojlund. As bad as Hojlund is Obi is no where near.

We need at least 5 quality players in a number of positions including the GK. then we will be fine. The academy players should be gradually ease in or loaned out.

I did not watch the game , but I saw the highlights. It seems nobody want to praise the goals and assists of Garnarcho. . I guess only his mistakes are worth highlighting. Or may be there are other things he did in the match that is wrong.

Bruh, please just take 10% of your optimism and bottle it up inside CWAY bottle. I will tell one of my cousins to come pick it up from you and send it over to me. I need your type of optimism.

😄😄😄😄 Well thank you Doc. Mountains are meant to be climbed. But in life you need a little bit of genius and a lot dose of luck. Who know we might be lucky again.
Sporting CP fans were here, suddenly they are now on course for a 3rd league title in 5 seasons.

Seems Leny Yoro is worth his fee anyway.
Ayden Haeven is looking like another Solid defender. One more stroke of lucky signing in CB, we will have a firm foundation in Central defence for years.
If Amass live up to his potential, or/and Dorgu somehow doing and Evra.
Zirkzee is 23, for me the boy is a joy to watch, he may just explode. Amad Diallo is 22 now, he is looking like another one who can explode.
This is how winning teams are biult. Stroke of luck and sudden explosion of youngsters who few months prior were erratic. Benzema once said in 2021 that Vini Jnr. was playing against them, look at him now.

In 2006/2007. Rooney and Ronaldo after the 2006 WC debacle suddenly exploded into world class players. Vidic and Evra who initially struggled when they arrived for decent fees suddenly became imperious. Then there was the signing of a 34 year old Van der Sar as a stop gap while we search for a long term GK. Then after missing out on Mikel to Chelsea, we were given £16m as compensation, £14.8m was used from that money to Purchase a certain silky DM from Spurs.
Then we had very good experience players who are good but just needed that crop of players to show their quality. There were Rio Ferdinand who was already world class at that time, experienced hands like Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Nevvile/Solskjaer who were on there last days but contributed massively tht season, and back from injury Luis Saha. Plus that workhorse Ji Sung Park who always shines on big occasions. That was the foundation fergie used to dominate for years once more.

This was our best eleven that season was:
VDS, Gary Neville, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney and Saha(Later Larsson due to injury to Saha). There was no major earth shattering changes or spending.
Imagine adding Vidic, Van der Sar, Carrick, Evra and JS Park did to that team, plus Rooney/Ronaldo coming of age.
Remember the previous season we were 4th in our UCL group containing Lille, Benfica and Villareal. Later went on to win the Carling Cup.
No one knows what will happen next season. Alot can change, players we don't expect can explode unlocking a lot of potentials. Even Garnacho, yes Garnacho can suddenly become good, he is 20.

Ellexy:
Scamming can only go on at a certain level. If we qualify for CL next season and we've still not gotten it together, the top teams there will embarasss us and it won't be funny.

Not true, Although I believe there will be some improvements and its a must, but we played Porto, Fernabache and Rangers in the group stage, 40% of the teams in the UCL are this level of quality. And real Sociedad, Bilbao and Lyon are not particularly a push over team no matter how people try to mock their quality, in this Europa competition our path is one of the hardest. And we have proven under Amorim that we can stand toe to toe against top teams that plays expansive football. Look at our games against Arsenal, City and Liverpool, our problems are the physical mid table EPL teams.

For Example, Arsenal played the following teams. Atalanta, PSG, Sharktar, Dinamo Zagreb, Girona, Monaco, Inter, and Sporting. 11 points was enough to go through to the play offs. Given how we played in this Europa under Amorim, we should get wins versus Sharktar, Zagreb, Girona and may be Monaco. A draw at home to early season PSG will not be out of place, a draw away to post Amorim Sporting CP will also not be surprising, even a result versus Atalanta is even possible . And boom we have 13/15points. The possible Playoffs opponents are:
Monaco, Brest(Who are same level with Lyon), Sporting, Club Brugge, Celtic, Feyenoord (who are not particularly better than Porto, Real Sociedad, Bilbao, and Lyon infact I fancy us to knock these teams out), then Juve and City who we can avoid or even beat on our day especially Juve. So 6/8 teams we can even beat them. go to the Round of 16 and Luckily get Lille, Feynoord, PSV, Dortmond, Benfica, Club Brugge, Lille even Aston villa, scam a win against any of these and we are in the quarterfinals where we will most likely lose, thats not embarrassment in my book. During the Moyes disastrous season we reach quater finals, even Leicester reach quarter finals of UCL and in relegation battle.

Aston Villa met the following team. Celtic, Leipzig, Juventus, Monaco, Club Brugge, Bologna, Bayern and Young Boys.
City played: Inter, Slovan Bratislava, Sparta Prague, Sporting, feyenoord, Juve, PSG and Club Brugge.

These set of fixtures are not really insurmountable for us.

Next seasons UCL Galatasaray, Bilbao, Ajax, Frankfurt and Slavia Prague + Either Us/Spurs are almost guaranteed to be in the group phase, Nice, Lyon, Lazio, Roma are very close to qualification too, all these teams played this season Europa and where knocked out.
Chelsea and Betis in Conference league are close too, Bodo glimt are in play offs.

Mind you. I am not saying we don’t need improvement, but that we will get embarrassed, is not factual given the evidence of how we performed against quality teams outside EPL and against top teams. The disastrous UCL campaign we had with ETH has everything to do with ETH himself and Onana.

spillo1:
That's because you are buying from those selling their tickets. Tickets were already sold out in April and you think you will get them for cheap few weeks to the final lol.

Chai, why will they be selling Tickets like that in April when we are not sure which team will make it there. Thats dumb from UEFA

Omoh Europa Final Ticket the least I saw is £1200. Average people no de watch match live again. Capitalism has taken over.

patrickmuf:
See how we are complaining about how poor our players are on the technical side but when you say these things off match days, the usual suspects will come here to slam the coach...

A man up o!

Our players are poor technically, Dorgu and Ugarte the chief culprits.

patrickmuf:
This is Manchester United...

Once we see final, forget it...

Trust me Spurs are not save yet oo, This Bodo Glimt are dangerous at home due to their artificial turf and the extreme polar condition in their stadium they are the northermost region in Norway

Casemiro, Maguire and Bruno carrying us in this competition.
Garnarcho really did well today.

.

patrickmuf:
Na CapitalCee post wey I see gimme me moral say we no go lose...This team will never die...

Its some deja vu juju that I conjured up. Hope it works out just exactly as it should at the long run.

Jamiuokolaa:
Bruh, there was no need for the ref to give a red card there - let's not overflog the issue with semantics

Anyways, anything to "push" us to that trophy is highly welcome

3-0!

This Bilbao has benefited from dodgy red cads and penalties in this competition, so its Karma

afrodoc:
The guy no send una. As una dey analyse him play he just just dey invest in G/A.

I Swear, and the guy no de even send criticism.

chrisley024:
about to say same

Even the commentator said it. He has been giving away passes this evening so far. But he gave an exquisite pass to Bruno

TheLequte:
Na to beat Tottenham for final remain

If Bodo scores 1 goal, it will be tough for spurs

Ugarte has scammed 2 assists already

Brunooooooooooooooooo

We need Mainoo and Shaw in the second ha

Harry Maguirree

What is Ugarte playing for God’s sake.

larride:
Why did this man decide to use Lindelof today?

He has no option

Our defenders plus Ugarte are Rubbish on the ball.

He just made a goal line clearance, but he is shaky so far
