Phil Jones should have been sold to Arsenal or Liverpool.

I hate it when players don't contest a drop ball. Fucking fannies.
Let Juventus get Goretzka first here. We have been chasing him for 2 season here lol.^_^
The striker that was bought to avoid those ties missed a complete sitter after Martial cross.
Also United was too passive on the first half to deserve a win and Mhki on the right wing simply doesn't work. Let him create as a number 10.

Said at the start of the day I'd take a draw away after an international break.

I kind of like this Stoke team, definitely seem like one of the better midtable sides.
RB Leipzig only got so many points last year because nobody took them seriously.
And Dortmund has Bosz lol
And we have ancelotti. His 'tactics' for today? Just cross the ball inside the box. We had not even one decent chance in the second half with players like lewa, robben, ribery, coman, thiago and james
Loddar! We need you!

Guess Man Utd are mortals after all.
That was awful match to watch as a United fan. Terrible defending from both central defenders to be at fault for a goal each.
I've never bought into the hype from the first 3 games and its because we've probably got to have two of the worst first choice full backs in the top 6. Valencia with his tendencies to hold on the ball for ages and do his bunny steps (idk what else to call it) before either a) knocking it forward and taking on defender, but its pointless now anyways since his dwelling on the ball has gotten him doubled up upon b) smashing it a cross that seems to be pinpoint accurate onto the heel/back/shoulder of the defender.
Then we have Darmian who....passes the ball backwards/sideways for 90 mins.
Sure they're solid defensively most of the time but that isn't nearly enough when then problems are accentuated by the lack of any real wingers providing width.

"Factoid alert: Today was #LFC worst defeat without scoring since the last time they lost 5-0 - at Huddersfield Town in 1958."
I said "decent" not "difficult". All three have practically one tougher opponent: Atletico, Benfica and Napoli.

Benfica should be much weaker compared to Atletico and Napoli there.
But i do think Napoli can beat City there so it is going to be interesting.^_^

You're already ruling out Tottenham? That's harsh.
I'm talking about the fight for the first place here.
Van Persie was far worse, the club stuck by him through all those years of injuries and he showed his gratitude by stabbing us in the back the first opportunity he got.. I don't really blame Sanchez for wanting to go qo

Pogba is kind of awful.
This really seems like a league to be decided between City and Chelsea.

I think the Napoli and City games have the potential to be the best in the group stages. As long as you like technical football.
