Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

True, but how many of these limits were imposed by our economics at the time? Had we Yakubu not got crocked, who knows what he could have done. We saw how effective his approach could be with Lukaku.

(Fair enough, Martinez tweaked the tactics, but surely Moyes would too if he had such a lethal striker?)

Antonio has been great this year, they still don't beat top teams very much.

Nah, he's tailed off badly after a fast start. The other night he looked heavy-legged, though he does have hamstring issues. There most dangerous player now is Lingard (of all people!).

Guys kick the ball away on free kicks basically every time so to book and send someone off from it is just ridiculous, it either matters every time or it doesn't.

Agreed, but it's in the rules that it can result in a yellow card.

If a player who's on a yellow card, is stupid enough to do it, then it's solely on him i reckon. Normally you'd see players say they couldn't hear the whistle, but when you're in an empty stadium there's just no hiding from it.

I just don't like inconsistency like that. It's like Niasse being the only one banned for diving, just because it is a rule doesn't mean it is right when it's applied selectively in that way.

Boss game, that effort that hit the bar from Cuadrado was so unlucky

I wish we got Mckennie

Would really be a huge boost to our midfield

I generally find games with “less fashionable” sides like Porto more enjoyable these days

Not enough variety in this tournament sometimes

Not a fan of Porto myself Mikey but I've always taken an interest in Juve and in particular Ronaldo.

Watch him slot the winner

Money definitely changed hands

 

[TheBigIguana]

Juve go crazy trying to get someone sent off, red card.

Porto go crazy trying to get someone sent off, yellow for dissent.

 

[Nymzee]

What a turn that was

Hope porto win it

Need more variety in CL late stages
