2023/24 Champions League

[Now it's Spursonal]

@Now it's Spursonal Cubarsi has had a really strong end to the game. Had one shaky moment when Napoli were on top but Xavi made some good subs that helped relieve pressure on their defence and since then he’s been very assured. Impressive performance all things considered but like I said, key attackers were off form for Napoli. He has a bright future.

Haven't seen anything of him but been seeing good reports, apparently he's completely two-footed which is some advantage for distribution.

He's a Pique clone is what I've been hearing

Like we’ve gone back to our historic heritage of attacking football, chelsea should go back to the taliban football that works for them and appoint Porto’s manager

Pepe is the ultimate shithouser

If Ben White married Lucy Bronze - he would take her name, right?

It just seems natural.

His tan looks god awful. Must be from a tanning bed I’d guess

How was that not a booking??? Pepe should shove Arteta now

Not sure Ben White would marry anyone??? (Yes I know he is married , apparently)

Lots and lots of extra time please.

this wouldn’t work in the premier league, it’s only worked somewhat because Arsenal are so afraid to attack. If they played it like a league game they’d be well ahead

 

[Romulus]

Trossard playing as referee as well tonight?

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Last week I would have preferred Arse to get through for the coefficent, after Villa we don’t need that . We will get 4th. Stick it up them Porto.

 

[UncleBuck]

And there was me hoping they had an early game this weekend only to see they haven’t got a game after this until the 31st March, talk about fixtures falling for you!

 

[Guntz]

Right time for Saliba and Rice's hammies to give way and Conceição to nut Arteta after they win on pens.

Yeah he’s very two footed. He’s fast and has excellent positioning for someone so young. Deals with the high line very naturally and is good at covering the space left empty by the FB. Decision making needs work. He looks very promising for sure but i don’t think he will ever have the physicality of Pique. He’s certainly faster tho. Still very very early days before we really know how good he he is.

Porto have offered nothing in the final third.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

The winger Pepe here has reminded me of Pedro Neto a lot, wouldn't be top of my list but wouldn't be a bad option for us

 

[cwy21]

Pepe putting in a solid 120 minutes at 41 is quite something.

 

[Romulus]

European football really ramps up after the group stage

 

[robotsonic]

Why are you shooting from there with the game in this situation?!

It's basically how he scored in the first leg.
