Europa League 2019-20

Which given the failures of United City and Barca the last 3 nights might tell you that money might not be the answer.

Well, it's how you spend the money

- I'd argue United is more on the manager (they have a decent squad and recent purchases have actually been decent)
- Barca and Real are aging squads that haven't replaced key players
- City is closer to the Barca and Real scenario (Silva, Aquero, Fernandinho, Otamendi all the wrong side of 30) but also a bit of weird spend tons of money but not all one superstar to change the game (lots of expensive Walker type purchases, but not a "messi/naymar/ronaldo/lewandowski") KDB is their star and he can be inconsistent as fudge ..

They've got an amazing team up front but useless defence.

"Amazing" is a bit of a stretch. They have a strong mf and delivery line with Fernandes and Pogba, when Pogba decides to show up. Martial, Greenwood and Rashford get, and create a lot of chances, but they are awfully wasteful! Replace any 2 of them with Kane and Son, and they would covert twice as many chances.

With all the penalties they get. If Kane played for United he would score 50 a season

You just keep buying players until you have all the players, then you may be able to sneak one past Sevilla.

The punditry answer to all problems is spending money.

Sad to say we have a few fans who think the same.

Shakhtar look so lightweight compared to Inter.

I'm putting a score on a Seville Shaktar double.

Not looking good

Fair play to Conte, he’s worked out exactly the best way to use Eriksen in crunch games.

Ten minute cameos without more than five touches. Can’t wait to see him celebrate with a trophy on friday.

A pity we couldn’t exchange our wantaway Dane for Brozović, as not only might it have filled that Wanyama sized hole in CMF but he can actually deliver a decent corner.

Why this silliness regarding Eriksen he was excellent for us.

 

[Kandi1977]

The one that really caught my eye yesterday, was Lauturo Martinez! Excellent player. Similar to Dybala. Looked really good.

Martinez looks top class!

Another player leaving and immediately winning a trophy.
