Horrendous call. That ref must be punished. The shame is they have VAR.

Have Barcelona reverted to using a 4-3-3?
Haven't they always used a 433?
Valverde utilized a 4-4-1-1 for most of last season. With Messi as the secondary striker prowling behind Suarez.
On the topic of Thauvin it is a positive surprise to see him go from Newcastle flop to the lynchpin in Marseille's attack
I saw them playing a hideous 4-4-2 last season in some CL games. With fucking Paulinho on the right side of midfield, IIRC.
He was managed by Steve McClaren to be fair. Was 22 going into a new country and started a grand total of 3 league games.
I think he's definitely improved upon returning to the French league and think if he moved back to the Premier League he would do extremely well. He was absolutely ridiculous last season.
Ouch.
Messi really did carry that Barca team at times last season.
I don't remember watching much of them in La Liga, but they were a shower of fucking shite against Chelsea in the CL. It just wasn't the type of football we've come to expect from them. The tempo wasn't right, they weren't as fluid and there was a serious lack of pace in the side.
They were horrible against Roma too.
Mentioned Thauvin elsewhere, when he went to Newcastle he had a rep as a party boy at Marseille. Last two years he really seems to have sorted himself out and grown up, has been absolutely outstanding last two seasons, he's a lot like Lamela, works hard off the ball and will get stuck in, but is also very productive, scores, assists, gets his head up. I think he'd do well if he moved again now.
25m for a 28yo Strootman is a strange bit of business for a club like Marseille. Good footballer, and will make a difference if he stays fit, but for a club who desperately need a striker, it's a big chunk of limited resources, that at 28 for an injury prone CM, they are hardly likely to recover.
I take no sides in that contest.
Celtic deserved to win, but Rangers have made massive improvements since Gerrard joined.
It was a joke Vince
I just recalled you using the term ‘Hun’ before
:dierpochhug:
Oh aye, i probably do use that term. I'm quite derogatory towards the Old Firm in general
I was educated in Fife
Some big games on today.
