It's unnaturally balanced between the nations, 2 PL teams last night, 2 tonight etc but it's the same for every nation, France 1 last night 1 tonight, Italy, Spain, Germany etc all spread, even Ukraine 1 last night 1 tonight, there's no country with 2 teams that has an imbalance of say 2 games last night and none tonight or 3 and 1 There's no way a random draw generates such a balance It's "seeded", which is the politically correct term for "rigged". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just now, Davkaus said: It's "seeded", which is the politically correct term for "rigged". I don't watch it but my understanding of the seeds is that the PL champions go in pot 1 and the other 3 go in pot 2 due to the coefficient That still wouldn't automatically result in 2 of them playing Tuesday and 2 of them playing Wednesday Or do they literally draw it where man City end up in group A, Liverpool get drawn in group D and then the other 2 can not go in to group B or C? Because yeah that's rigged as **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 29, 2021 There's all sorts of rules around teams from the same countries and so on - it's all done to ensure there's something on TV that justifies Sony and Heineken's investment.

MaVilla Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 tbh you gotta give Derby credit so far this season, they were 100% nailed on for relegation before the season started. If they didnt have the point deduction they would be borderline playoff contenders right now, even with the deduction they arent giving up....amazing tbh.

MachoFantastico Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Ole is a terrible manager. It's not like United don't have great talent in their squad but he doesn't seem to know what to do with it. Wonder how long he'll last.

PaulC Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 When United played well last season they used to press. Villareal have had all the time in the world to play. Terrible first half performance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible first half performance Ronaldo can't do it anymore so that's a massive issue for them considering so many strikers are good at it nowadays. Don't think it's an age thing as Cavani is still pretty good at it but no chance they'll shift him wide. Rashford will certainly be starting again when he's fit though.
