Yeah, after the 2-0 they've been pressing Chelsea really well. Fully deserved, arguably could reached the half-time already tied too.
And just as type this Chelsea ties it up! Hazard! 3-3!! Man, what a match!

Dzeko what a fraud
He's been really bizarre on corners and fks. Rashford finally started putting them on his nose and he flapped. Had he just punched it it would have been fine.
@Caley_graphics on twitter usually does them.

One of the worst games of football I've watched in a while.

Looking forward for the commentary section on Utd facebook page.
Didn't get out of 2nd gear, controlled the game and benfica often had 11 behind the ball. Dull as shit as a result.

Prem teams are doing surprisingly well in Europe. The Chelsea game was amazing, terrible to throw away that lead but Dzeko is a fucking beast.
Now to see if Everton can win and Arsenal can get applause for winning an easy game after losing to Watford.

Clearly he got outplayed by old man Rashford.
There were people alive that even entertained the thought of Man United winning the Champions League before that game?
Man United will be out as soon as they get a tier 1 or tier 2 team in the CL knockout stages.
Speaking of 18 year olds, Mbappe became the highest scoring teenager in Champions League history with 8 goals.
This has probably been one of the most entertaining weeks of football in months. Nearly all top matchups lived up to the hype expect for Man U vs Liverpool. Not to mention a bunch of high scoring games. Pretty much every top league had at least two amazing matches this week.
Great stuff

Juve winning against Sporting. That early goal Sporting scored was a simple anomaly
Juventus this season had failed to obtain clean sheet like at all. This year we are shite. Defence is aging, Buffon is aging, injuries everywhere, our new player most is still not adapted yet.
I had zero hope for deep UCL push.

Wow, Mbappe is good but he wasted too many chances.
Not a chance Stoke win the World Cup.
Not a chance Arsenal get top 4.
See, we can all say simple truths.
Nobody expects or expected United to win the CL.
You can tell he likes what he's hearing.
Stevie G is still only one of about 2 or 3 players I felt deserved a title that didn't get one. One other being Zola.

Maybe Le Tissier as well?
To flip it around I'd say Ibrahimovic probably deserved a Champions League winners medal but never got one.
Eh. Le Tiss had ability in flashes but never really did enough for me. Always loved that he could pull a screamer from nowhere though.
A personal favorite
Suarez had the ability to win one, but he tried to eat his way to the top and was only here for a short time so I'd discount him. Zola and Gerrard were here for a while and were amazing players regularly.

I think you have to take into consideration the level of the rest of Le Tiss' teammates. He could have thrived at a bigger club with his skill and with a team that saw more of the ball. He might not have worked hard, but he was always reliable with the ball when he had it, whether he was scoring screamers or not. Also that penalty record is INSANE, 47/48.
True, but he also had no desire to go anywhere else and push himself. Did he not move to a club with a better chance of doing something because he liked being the big fish, or because nobody wanted him because many felt that he was a lazy genius?
Hope it works out for your lot. I've always liked Newcastle.
