More that he was often doing exactly the same thing so Sommer could get set.Quote:

But not the others.
But they are SHIT teams. Hyped to the moon. Can't you grasp that from the scoreline? If you mean it was funny watching them thrash about - yes, it was, very entertaining. 10 out of 10 for the comedy and slapstick - no argument there.Quote:

I like Yamal, explosive pace, excellent ball control
I don’t think NQ particularly admires the football Southgate had us playing. I think he has a romanticised view of football that was played in the 1980s, early 1990s and the mixture of countering and highly technical football we had under the earlier years of Wenger.
I think he makes the mistake of thinking slow sideways passing is a necessary component of “pep ball” rather than a consequence of other teams making sure that attacking teams are denied space to play in.
I'm not understanding the Yamal hate on here, he looks bloody brilliant.Quote:

That's pretty reductive in a tie that had endless twists and turns and 13 goals - Barca were only ahead in the whole tie for about 5 minutes and they wouldn't have gone in to last night's level were it not for Yamal's contribution in the first leg.Quote:

That little spik fuck is going to win the ballon dor - and he can't kick a ball straight. Make of that what you will. If you are a moron it will be something good.Quote:
