I think Moyes is safe unless he loses to West Ham and City. We're still shit.

We are gonna get our ass handed to us on a silver platter in the next round. This is not a turn around for us.
Honest assessments - cheers. What do you make of all the media hyperbole this morning?

Myopic.
It was one of Moyes's many false dawns. The players were playing for their own pride, even then we looked systemically shit and were a De Gea reaction save from going out. Better teams (of which there are many) will bend us over.

Like moyes knows that..
Every fan wants players to come through youth and backs the success of their prospects, but "we have youth prospects" is rarely a wise route to take; Arsenal were for years undone by such a mentality. Realistically, 1 in 20 youth players will go on to play a decent amount of games for a top club, and far fewer than that will actually be at the required Champions League level.
Backing 2 players who don't have a first team appearance among them is not a good strategy, even if they are one day of the required level it could be years before either player is ready play regularly as well. Do you want to go into next season relying on Chris Smalling at RB every other game?

Vermijl has been on loan in the Eredivisie the entire season. He plays every game. He was impressive last season with the reserves and was beaten by Januzaj for the reserve player of the year. And you don't have to tell me about how many players will make the step up to the first team. I've already written off practically every player from the youth team.
In any case, they will be much better than Smalling at rb. No need to buy Coleman when Rafael is still playing. Another season of bad injuries and then I think United should make an effort of buying a rb.

Yeah I can see that point of view but I personally would rather get the chance to see the likes of Zlatan, Reus, Costa and Casillias play live.

His first Zenit press conference is in 5 minutes.

Oh look, a proper comparison between the actual consumer oculus and the morpheus
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-03-20-how-does-morpheus-shape-up-to-oculus
As the article says though, Morpheus is clearly still a prototype, so can't put too much weight onto the differences yet... especially second hand bullshit like Geoff tweeted.

Levy ate his soul didn't he?
They are together with United the worst two sides this year. I would love to get either one of those but hope for PSG because a strong opposition makes us perform better. Tomorrow will be fun.

I remember being really excited when AVB joined Chelsea. I had the feeling he was going to be Mourinho mk2. Suave, sophisticated and intelligent. That feeling quickly passed when he spent the whole of the first game squatting on the touchline looking like a spaniel having a shit.

Squatting is what unites all the peoples of eastern Europe. He'll fit right in.

Basically that, hyperbole. We have won a few big games this year but overall, we're still shit.
Imagine if we didn't have De Gea. I thank god every game that he's our goalkeeper.

Yep.
Ill probably change my mind in 5 minutes but in order of preference for me:
Manunited
Dortmund
Psg
Atletico
Madrid
Chelsea
Bayern

Courage, pappe!
We were basically in the same situation 2009 and I never thought we could make it against United. If you play like yesterday then your up for a good fight.

The same old flaws were still present in yesterdays game, we just played for our lives in attack.
I'm happy though. Club needed this, fans needed this. Still don't see Moyes surviving given the upcoming fixtures.
Doritos Pope gonna dorits pope, yet everyone sucks it up like they don't know who they are dealing with.

no Gaitan for today's match. not like we need him anyway.
I'm still laughing at the keeper for RVP's third goal. Doesn't Roy Carroll still play for Olympiakos? Even he would have kept that free kick out.
We didn't even bring Lloris for this game, it's going to be a bloodbath (although Friedel played very well against Dnipro away).

If Moyes fucks Rafael off. Swear down. I don't give a shit if he's playing crap, one of the few players we have left who gets it.
More so than Moyes ever will.
Thinks we took a "risk" late night. 1) we were 2-0 down. 2) that's how were meant to play you slug

Why are we suddenly one of the worst sides this year? We were top of the hardest CL group and comfortably made it to the quarter finals. Bundesliga results don't mean shit.
I admit we didn't play the best football yesterday but it wasn't like Zenit was really threatening at any point during the match. Hulk with a goal out of nowhere which Kehl made even. Then nothing would have happened in the second half if it wasn't for Aubameyang's/Hummels' mistake. Can't blame our players for playing it safe when Zenit wasn't even trying, especially with all the injuries and many overplayed players like Sahin, Lewandowski, etc.
PSG beat a shitty Leverkusen side, Chelsea a poor Gala yesterday, etc. Aside from Barca, Real and Bayern (and we showed we can give the last two trouble) I wouldn't say any team is "better" than us. We have a chance to make it past any team really.
That's chump change to them.
Is this the "Klopp-Effect"?
I watched the last 6 performances of Dortmund and they were all rather bad. Your counter pressing doesnt work, because many teams have found a way to avoid it, still too many missed chances, defence is hilarious, defensive midfield is vulnerable etc. You downplay PSGs great performance against Neverkusen, but forget to mention that Zenit doesnt play at the moment, because the league hasnt even started in Russia. They managed to score 4 goals against you and you were basically out in the group stage with losses too.
And last year is history I'm afraid. The only real comparison with one of the top clubs this year ended with a 0-3 defeat for Dortmund. Its nothing personal Milch, but I admire Lewandwski for his honesty in his interview for stating the truth: "If we perform like this against the other 7 clubs, we are out and we should not always make it so easy and use the "injuries" as excuse for bad performances". Its pretty obvious that in this state, BVB and United are the weakest teams left in the tournament.
wouldnt you be if you had to go move to russia/ukraine/crimea/whatever those nonces are called these days
oh
Spurs will destroy Benfica and still lose 1-0. Sherwood will resort to words like "try" and "we don't know what we need to do to win".
They (media) are doing this, so they can do the whole doom talk again, ie build em up, tear them down.
United did not even look good against Olympiakos. Against a top European side, they will get shredded, the defense looks poor by even lowest Premier League standards.
But yeah, you cannot do "doomed" forever, it gets tiring and people lose interest, now they have to build them back up, so they can tear them down come a 5-0 drubbing against Real, Bayern or whatever. "Moyes Out!", "English Empire Crumbling", "The Death Of Club" and other such sensationalist headlines
Chelsea are working on a deal to sign the next big talent from Southamptons highly-rated academy system teenage striker Sam Gallagher.
The 18-year-old, who is still largely unknown, has been slowly dipped into the Saints first-team this season, but he set tongues wagging with his first Premier League goal against Norwich at the weekend.
Mauricio Pochettino is keen to keep the 64 striker under the radar, but Chelsea scouts are already on to him, and want to sign him at the end of the season.
Southampton have produced stars such as Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, Adam, Lallana and Luke Shaw from their famed youth setup in recent years, and many believe Gallagher could be the next big thing to emerge.
lol
pls
