Panels only job now is to create headlines.

I mean Ole literally mugged Villarreal off last time as well. Not that high a bar.
Caporegime
Difference is this time we actually created more chances than them, last time they dominated but didn't finish and we scored against the run of play. Very few teams go to Villarreal and win.

Watching Chelsea brings home just how poor we really are. The speed at which Chelsea come forward and their energy levels are just on another planet to us. They attack and they have 5+ players steaming forwards instead of 2 or 3.

Well yeah they've had a lot of injuries including their top scorer. But they've still not lost many games and I think their home record in Europe over the years is one of the best. They've conceded less goals than the league leaders!

To shreds you say

remember when Bonucci said Juventus were better without Ronaldo

Atalanta drew so we've topped the group with a game to spare.

I mean theyve already qualified and rested half their team whilst sitting on four wins from four.

Yeah they also just got obliterated and are 6th in a weak Serie A. Now they're second in their group too. Looks like a very strong team to me, which half of their team did they rest?

To be fair, its a good Chelsea win. Juve did drop some first team players, but it shouldnt allow for a 4-0. Juve aren't the same without Chiellini, either are the Italy team.
It is funny though that the media will go crazy and quickly forget how well Juve limited them in Turin. Better without Lukaku!
Sure its different to the PL, very open. Some good teams coming through though.
Absoluted romped to the league with Ronaldo last season to be fair.

Still finished top scorer, how often do you see that in the team that comes fourth?
Also I checked their team, they made 2 changes from the weekend. Bringing in Alex Sandro and Bentancur. What are you talking about resting half their team
Vardy did it in a team that finished 5th to be fair.
Also Ronaldo can be top scorer but they can still be a better team without him - not saying they are, but they're not mutually exclusive are they?
