    Way this group is panning out, any points dropped against them could be fatal. Can definitely see them finishing with zero points.

    Everyone in the group will now know they flat out need 6 points vs the huns. Beautiful

    Was saying the same last week but he was a world beater because he was playing the huns apparently.

    Huns are guaranteed last place in their group…
    Probably pointless as well
    Not even Europa league to fall into.

    lovely.

    Can't see the huns getting much out that group tbh. Even an off form Liverpool still look like they'd be too much for them just based on the intensity they can play at and pace alone.

    Suppose they can at least have a * over Bassey out-muscling Salah a couple of times and add another billion quid to his value though...

    If the Huns don’t win tomorrow they’d be as well forfeiting the rest of the games.

    Double header vs a desperate for wins Liverpool, Ajax coming to Ibrox needing to win, then away to Napoli with no fans with Napoli desperate for a win.

    They will be out at end of group stages and won’t drop to EL or ECL

    Diego Simeone is the biggest myth in world football for as long as I’ve lived.

    The whole underdog portrayal is * hilarious. Their wage bill is amongst the most expensive in the history of the sport.

    Some of the worst football known to man. At least a few years ago they actually had a plan to counter attack.

    Now they just pretend to play 3-5-2 but it’s actually three centre halves and five midfielders playing as a back five about three yards in front of them. They’d honestly get the game cancelled.

    Koke is on 300k a week to play 20 yards from his goal and smash balls in to channels. Horrible club.

    I've only seen highlights but he looked poor but highlights rarely ever show the good things a cb does. He seemed to struggle against Liverpool in the air.

    Aren't they in serious financial problems due to the enormous wage bill?

    Think their wage bill is a lot lower than Barca or Madrid but their football is brutal to watch. It might be effective and successful for them but I can't stand watching it.

    It will be mate. Don’t get me wrong though, Barca don’t even pay some of their players so not sure how much of it is accurate :56:

    I’m not sure how successful they are either to be honest. When they had a prime Diego Godin they won trophies and done well in the Champions League.

    I know they won La Liga a few years ago in front of no fans but as we know that season was a bit of an outlier in the sense that so many random teams around Europe won the title that never would have in front of crowds. Plus they had Suarez who Barca let go a year or two early.

    Have you seen his series on Amazon ? * is a * legend, he's incredible.

    I just think he's stayed there too long now and it's gone stale. He's defo no myth though .. imo.

    Every time I watch Jack Grealish I am baffled, amazed and disgusted that he cost £100 million. Absolute gash.
