Champions league and Europa league thread (General)

Sinkgraven

Sinkgraven?????? This guy needs to keep playing or if not loan him back to Heerenveen for the sake of NT.

 

ok so Feyenoord will qualify directly to the group stages of Europa league and if they also finish 3rd. who will be the second team. Utrecht as the losing finalist or the team that finishes 4th.

 

fifth conservative scudetto and direct qualification for Juventus. kind of astonishing as there only picked 5 points from first six games and yet they came out all guns blazing in the home straight . talk about inter, Roma, Napoli and Milan also spending big , still couldnt take advantage of the old lady's poor start

 

I think Juventus did smart buying rather than jus buying if you compare it to milan,inter andRoma. If you look at the deptures last season.Pirlo,Vidal,Coman,Llorente and many predicted they would struggle especially with the depature of Trevez who was their top scorer last season.I think the key issue here was to replace the out going players with players who had similar qualities and at the same time keeping the 3-5-2 formation at the back of the mind which was inherited from Conte

With Dybala,Zaza,Khedira,Cuadrado,Mandzukic,Hernanes coming in,boy they did fill the vaccum left by some key outgoing players. The options upfront was the key leading to their trumiph as no matter which pair they used upfront,all were clincal in front of goal and they scored when it mattered the most.

I had high hopes for Inter when Mancini came in but when they bought Filipe Melo and Ivan Perisic,I knew they will find it hard keeping pace with other top guns.
They really need to sort out their fullbacks and I jus don't know what Gary Medel is doing at Inter.

Milan - bad Management.

Roma- late surge but maybe to late again,maybe next season could give Juventus a run for their money.

 

Looks like Real Madrid has put one foot in the SF. But one thing for sure without Ronaldo,RM are useless.

 

I told you so but I think 1-0 is kind of not safe yet for atletico yet especially when the return leg will be at allianz Arena
