At least we'll be off the hook for a ton of money on his contract

 

Can’t believe he was hired so fast

 

His tactics will probably work better in that league tbh

 

We are slowly transitioning into hyping Mason as a candidate because none of the actual targets have accepted the job

 

Mou has really fallen on his feet landing the Roma gig. I suspect his tactics will suit Italian football more. After all, he's done it before there. Also, I'm going to say he must of had assurances over his budget at Roma otherwise he never would of taken the job, surely?

 

Roma have new owners that will probably spend a ton to get them back to prominence so yeah, I imagine he'll have a big budget

 

Reports saying Nagelsmann wants Hakimi as his first signing for Bayern. The two would go together like butter to toast. Would Inter really be stupid enough to sell, though?

 

levy always wins, the reptile

 

Makes me wonder if Mourinho knew a while ago that this was a possibility. I swear the day after he was sacked he said “I would manage again in Italy” in a very obvious hint.

 

Interesting to see how PSG approach the game this evening. I think they have no choice but to be more aggressive and play higher up, even regardless of needing two goals. They have to be able to maintain it though.

 

Mbappe is not starting and will be on the bench. That is a big blow for PSG.

 

Even more reason they need to press high - can't use Mbappe's pace. Pep unsurprisingly hasn't picked a conventional striker again.

 

Which is why I think Pep went with Zinny and Ferna tonight. Rodri struggled a bit in the first half with the press that PSG was using. He looked better in the second when that fell away. Pep seems to like Zinny more in these types of situations as well, think we see him sit back more than Cancelo while him being left footed should let Foden move inside a bit more. Wonder if they choose to let Walker hit the overlap more on the right or he has everyone sit back a bit.

 

Is Mbappe injured?

 

Calf injury. There was potential he was not even going to make the bench or at least that was the talk on Twitter lol

 

Icardi is not a bad back up to have though.

 

That is his damn shoulder. This better not be a pen!

 

How did the referee even give that as a penalty in the first place?

 

What has the ref seen there

 

phew!

 

We look a bit tight in the early going. Need to find our heads.

 

Game over.

 

I spoke to soon!!! FUCK YEAH!

 

Mahrez! Let's go!

 

That Ederson pass was fucking beautiful, perfect pass to kill a press.
