Stevo985 Posted February 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2017 Brilliant game. Dodgy at the back but both teams were excellent going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Great to watch open attacking football. Big change from watching Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 22, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2017 That was the most entertaining game of football I've seen in a very long time. In fact I can't remember enjoying a game as much as that (as a neutral spectator). Not one for the purist as there was scarcely any defensive nous on show, but sometimes you just want a barnstormer. I fully expect it will be exactly the same over in Monaco as I suspect both of these teams only know the one way to play. And I think it benefits from Monaco having to chase the game from the off. An early Monaco goal and it'll all be set up vehh nicely. MOAR PLEASE! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) It made me remember why I used to enjoy watching football before I started only watching Villa stink the place out every week. I need to start watching more CL games. It's the difference between watching a proper gig, and watching some pissed up bloke stumble over kareoke in the local.

Yes may as well just have BT sport for what you have its far better value for money than sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) As poor as the defenders are, they aren't set up very well. a striker with 4 attacking midfielders/wingers and Toure as the holding player is just asking for trouble. Just close your eyes and hope you outscore. Edited February 22, 2017 by kurtsimonw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Man City vs Barcelona was good. I think Arsenal came back from 3-0 in one game. Not all group games are boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have 4 from the 13/14 season though so it's not quite as bad as it first sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
