UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [4th - 6th October 2022]

Rangers decided to turn up 5 mins from end, they were awful

It's probably difficult to gauge given the quality of opposition but the change of system seemed to help us a fair bit last night. When the team was announced I thought Jota might have started on the right with Salah central and that's going to be the one issue if we decide to continue with this system moving forwards. A 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 suits a lot of our players but I'm not sure you get the best out of Salah, certainly not on the right.

Saw on twitter the Liverpool fans taunting Rangers fans singing “Liz is in a box”, while behind a police line with their phones, out living in the moment. All fun and games until the Rangers fans mentioned Hillsbrough, then they started crying. Utter pond life. Hopefully one day they start banning these idiots.

Stinker from Joe Hart there. Less than 30 secs after having a goal disallowed too

Is Haaland playing tonight? If so, how many goals is he going to score? Another hat-trick?

Surprisingly he is. I'd have thought today would have been a chance to rest him.

 

[Lokai]

Here we go

 

[Droolinggimp]

jeez...

 

[JamesH85]

Haaland, what a machine. Another hat trick tonight. Getting ridiculous.

 

[JamesH85]

Probably wait till he gets three, then take him off after 35 minutes......

 

[Robbo]

2 for Haaland so far

 

[JamesH85]

Ok I was actually joking, but it is actually possible haha

 

[Rannoch]

I'm going for 4 goals from Haaland

 

[Kelt]

Jeebus, Haaland.

 

[robfosters]

Is it honestly worth even turning up when Haaland is playing?

 

[JamesH85]

Them city stats are embarrassing tbh. 17 attempts to 0

 

[Robbo]

Lopetegui going to Wolves then…

 

[Tombstone]

Is it honestly worth even turning up when Haaland is playing?

If City fail to win the Champions League this year with Haaland in the team, they might as well not bother entering anymore

It would be funny if City still don’t win the CL.

 

[Tombstone]

It would be funny if City still don’t win the CL.

Would be bonkers wouldnt it, someone would call a meeting with Pep and say "Pep...you have Ederson, Foden, Silva, Rodri, Laporte, Dias....De Bruyne for heavens sake...hell you even have Haaland...How have you STILL managed to get knocked out??"
