Champions League 2019/20 | Group F

Lukaku out, Esposito in (born in 2002) ... Weird choice by Conte.

Barça are the luckiest team in CL. Should have lost to BVB, Inter and Slavia Prague and they ended up winning two and drawing one (so far).

Lukaku wasn't doing anything. Still not convinced by him in big games.

It' s happening now.
Simply De Vrij has postoponed as much as possible.

I know but then watching him vs us, Barca, and Dortmund isn't encouraging.

already did more than Lukaku

what is happening with Barca? need them to score one more goal

Lautaro is such a scrub. His recent form is not the least bit convincing. Shot it at possibly the most easiest place for Burki to save what was an artless penalty shot and really do not know what Esposito was even remotely trying on the rebound.

Really poor penalty concession from Hummels to attempt that tackle on Esposito as those are then again the times where Hummels usually is prone to being uncomfortable.

Loving Sparta Prague. What a team. What a stadium. They deserved at least a point.

Candreva is let loose off of Dortmunds high pressing line to be running at Bürki in a 2 on 2 break-away counter with an option to pass yet sprints all the way and confidently blasts it past Bürki in a beautiful finish that was unsavable.

Candreva is a player reborn and redeveloped under Conte.

Disappointed by Dortmund tonight who have been well outplayed by Inter. Smh

Conte is elite.

Exactly when I've begun to criticize Lautaro, he's evolved in a great CF .
Should I make same with Lukaku, atm he's scored just against small teams ( Milan, Sassuolo, Lecce)

Lautaro completely outshining him it seems, I told you what to expect from Lukaku. He's been that way his entire career. Minnow smasher.

Huge win for Inter.

Its what most expected, why I never wanted Lukaku, we dont need that. Smashing the minnows will help Inter a lot in Serie A though. Most games fit that description for Inter.

Lol @ us, getting outplayed for long periods and relying on Messi and Suarez magic again to win it, as well as bad finishing from the opposition. Its the norm though for so long now, quite depressing, since I consider Slavia like 4th tier team tbh...

One big problem we always have is after we got that easy goal early on we started to be too confident again and got complacent, this definitely is a big weakness of us, which if we never get rid of we are not going to win the CL again.

@Rincon Lukaku hasn't played against Barcellona, he was injured
for the rest  yes, he was negative against Juve and the other 2 CL matches (Slavia even worse)
I don't know if he had  physical problems in Manchester @Firenze, but his performance a bit fluctuating depends on it. When he isn't 100%, he can't make difference.

Been legit under us so far, though, he's scored 5 goals in league , and a double in last match.

Except for that year under Chelsea where Diego Costa was a monster, Conte is used to perform with a CF just legit but a great midfield and especially a squad who performs by memory.
Conte teams are collective over the individual, and we are going on this direction. A soclalist team.

Having said that, if this last one continues to improve I can't complain......

Seriously ?

Should have lost to BVB.
Should have lost to Inter.
Should have drawn to Sparta.

Yet they are top of the group

Having said that, with better finishing Inter could tear Barça a few extra holes at San Siro.

Never thought I'd say this but Barcelona are getting dominated by Slavia Prague at the Camp Nou

What a time to be alive

Messi will pull off the win as usual, let's not get our hopes up.

Tbh penalty stolen from Barca by this corrupt referee, one of the most biased refs I've seen. Who is he?

We became total shit since De Jong took Rakitic's place. Literally finding it hard to dominate the likes of Slavia at home.

Told you so tbh so no surprises there.
