Inter (H) - CL Round of 16 2nd leg, Tue 8th Mar 2022 (8:00pm)

[Rushies tash]

This is my worry if we somehow get to the City game level on points, but ahead on goal difference. We're shite when we don't have to win. We're just not set up to play that way.

I love this old school European performance.

 

We did the same in the first leg, and versus Arsenal second leg in the Cup.

 

We can kill teams like this, and then pick them off 2nd half.

 

Jota showing again why he's not a central player in this system.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Sanchez was booked according to the Champions League app and LiveScore. I didn’t see the graphic flash up on the live coverage though. It’s a borderline red, for me. 
 

We’ve done alright. Just a bit too rushed when in possession.

I guess the primary objective was not to concede so job done in that first half. Apart from the fk  Alisson didn't have much to do . Tough watch though.

I like Pearce as a commentator. One of the better ones. 

Yeah, he's harmless.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I shall refrain from commenting on the BT pundits.

Leeds game aside our last few matches have been like this, but as long as the results keep coming I'm happy.

How's he hold the mic?

I wish this female co-commentator would STFU. Exchanging a piss-poor male pundit for a piss-poor female one is no help to anyone, and she obviously feels obliged to talk endlessly to justify her presence.

 

As for the game, we need to spread the play out in their half. Salah is out on the right, Jota is often out on the right and even Mane (why???) is sometimes out on the right.

 

This is a challenge for Mo. If he wants to be hailed as the top player, he needs to sort out these problems he's facing. Yes, teams are now sending three players to stifle him, but he has to change his movement to respond to that. He can't just keep waiting for a pass that will cut all three players out, or else keep on running into them and hoping the ball will stay attached to his feet. He's got to show some initiative.

I didn't see it either but on BBC it's saying he was booked.  Though they said the Cat Fingerer Zouma was booked on Saturday and he wasn't.

[Scott_M]

Yeah, not even a yellow…

 

 

Edit - He was booked. Still, lucky boy. 

[Strontium]

Thiago really should consider wearing shinpads.

[waddy78]

[Wicket]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us make another triple sub like in the first leg. 

[sir roger]

Was near his knee, wouldn't have helped on that one

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Some top crisps game in this thread.

 

And not a Frode thumb in sight either. Well played.

[Bjornebye]

Fucks that alarm? 

[Harry's Lad]

Fuck off ref.

[Bjornebye]

Somethings awry tonight. I don't like it. 

[J-V]

Diving cunt

[J-V]

Get Diaz on to give these cunts something to think about.

[J-V]

Pass Mo ffs

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I see we've decided to go with a similar tactic of giving possession away needlessly.

[J-V]

Fucking pulling him back in the box ffs
