Milan did well, infact they have good attacking players, Raphael, Pulisic, Chukwueze and Olivier Giroud. They created chances they should have scored but German side defense did everything to hold them down. Newcastle had a chance to score but the effort ended with the goalkeeper serving as a blockage to that ball.

Milan has good players, indeed, AC Milan line should be able to match the teams in Group F. However, Pioli strategy can already be predicted by the opponents. That is the problem and the reason why I am not confident about AC Milan potential in UCL this season. Pioli also often forces players to maintain their strategy, but often forgets that players also need rest and rotation to have balance in the 90 minutes. well, hopefully there is still a chance for AC Milan to qualify to the next round, or at least down to UEL.

There's only but a slight chance to see them qualifying, they have to win against parisians if they must make it. They would be at home on the seventh day of November and If not in the right sense of mind the chance of qualification would be over.
I personally think they're screwed and can only achieve points that'll take them to Europe League Competition. Haven't those players been well rotated? They have been. They haven't just done enough.

One more win and it's sealed for Barcelona, they should get a lesser club for themselves when they go on to the knock out round.

When it comes to Barcelona's current UCL play, I have to agree with you. Looking at their group rounds, it looks like they had a nice time! Yes, they're ahead in their group, but they're still playing teams that arent very well known. In the previous season, they played big teams like Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. That was really hard! When it comes to Real Madrid, I dont think Barcelona's present team can compete with them now that they have a new look and players like Vini are back. Does Barcelona not have a strong striker? Its impossible! After all, they do need someone like Lewandowski. I wont bet a dime that they can beat Madrid until they make such big changes

Barcelona is ahead of everything compared to the other three teams in Group H, they will clearly have fun and can dominate the standings easily. However, the relatively weak resistance from their opponents meant that Barcelona had to be more alert in the knockout round.
Barcelona must be able to improve its performance in preparation for facing stronger teams, the fewer teams remaining in the UCL, the greater the challenge they will face. Barcelona must be ready to welcome all the challenges in front of them if they are able to survive further in the UCL.

We are aware about the challenging games in group F but the best teams always qualify with outstanding performance and results, I don't think AC Milan will make it out. Watching the Rossoneri transforming into an average team is basically out of line, there are levels in football that ought to he maintained. AC Milan are not in good shape this season. They have struggle to win UCL games but recording quite an impressive game in Seria A league games. Stefano Pioli having issues dealing with his players, I think if he's keen on having good results, he have to take an extra step.

Of the 4 clubs in group F, only Milan does not have the ability to show its ability to try to add points or at least be able to win the match several times, but unfortunately Milan does not have the ability to do all of that. Since the start of the Champions league match, they have not been able to get a win. only ended a draw.
In the series A match, Milan started very well, but as the match schedule progressed, Milan experienced a decline in performance and the last match against Juventus, Milan was also unable to match Juventus performance which ended defeat and with this decline performance, Milan had little chance of qualifying this round is very small.

Looking at that group, between PSG and Newcastle, I would say Milan didn't had much choice to but become third, they ended up with something a lot worse and that would be understandable and shouldn't really be worried about it at all. I get that some people might feel like Milan deserved to get up but that unlucky draw made it very hard for at least one team to not be able to go up.

Milan could be that team, they could finish third and nobody would be mad about it, after all the other two teams were very good and that could be the reason why they are doing "badly" when in fact in any other group they could have been second or even in some of them first group. This should not be a big deal, Europa is more likely for them to win it.

Two points achievement in last three matches make Milan hasn't much choose for qualifying to the next round indeed have two home matches and one away match against Newcastle United. Bad started for Milan in Champion League without winning one match until playing three matches, next opponent is PSG and not sure for Milan will get three pounts or give opportunity for Dortmund or Newcastle United for qualifying to the next round.
Looking current standing teams, two points gap its not huge problem and Milan chance still open for qualidying to next round as 2nd standing position, but in three matches left they win two or three matches and looking for Dortmund and Newcastle have loss their points.

We can't really take the performance of barcelona in UCL as a measurement of the club. I meant the competitors of barcelona in the UCL was weak teams. Barclona may get stolen by real madrid in the upcoming game. Madrid was not only coming with the different squad.
This club is also having everything to beat barcelona at this season started from a good attacking midfielder and striker at the same time. Some wingest that were coming back again after they was hibernated like vini due to the injury and many more.
I think that there's no reason to call that if barcelona will be dominating the current game. In fact, barcelona is slowly but surely was going through hard fixtures that will come soon.

Barcelona was also playing so well in UCL but it was only against weakest teams that being placed in the same time. Im still doubting barcelona at this moment. it seems like that this club will not able to beat madrid with the current suqad.
The club needs someone like lewandowski. Barcelona didn't have great attacker this time. Lewandoski was always able positioning himself better than barcfelona

I was confident that they would get through this group without any trouble, and sure enough they are now top of the table with perfect points from their three matches. Erling Haaland also scored again in this match after he had struggled to score in several matches. Yes, in terms of strength, the team that is their opponent in this match is quite a big difference, so this victory has been predicted before.
With the points they are currently collecting, 1 more win will ensure they qualify from the group stage, and I'm sure they will.

There are no strong opponents in Group G so it is clear that Manchester City does not have any obstacles to qualify from this group. And it has been proven that so far no team has been able to beat Manchester City, after all they are the favorites to win the UCL so I think it is very natural.

Erling Haaland so far is still the same as last season, he is still the spearhead who is always relied on by Manchester City's front line, but if he hasn't met a tough opponent I can't say that Manchester City have proven themselves, we'll just have to wait in the know out round. Later, to what extent Manchester City can maintain its performance.

And it can be confirmed that with this situation or condition, Manchester City will definitely qualify for the group G stage, yes it is true and on the other hand Guardiola's squad is favored to become UCL or Premier League champions, as happened last season when they won the Trebble Winners achievement. With their very good and consistent performance, I think there is no reason for me to doubt their next performance, because on the other hand they have provided enough concrete evidence in several previous competitions that they are extraordinary and they are capable.

Haaland has no doubt in terms of its quality so it is very natural that many people have made it a favorite player in recent seasons. Guardiola has a very good strategy in midfield with some ball possession that always dominates and as a final solution they can always take advantage of that opportunity on the front lines with a very ferocious scoring machine like Haaland. I have nothing but hope and fingers crossed that Manchester City can maintain this form to dominate the league at the end of the season.

So far Haaland has not performed as well as last season, he seems to have difficulty scoring many goals this season so Guardiola has to think about that at least so that this season Manchester City really performs well in the UCL and in the domestic league, as we saw in Manchester City's UCL didn't meet a difficult club in group G, but he will meet later against stronger clubs like Munich and Madrid, I think Guardiola has to set a good strategy to be able to make Manchester City play like last season, if you say it looks bad that's which I have seen since their last few matches in the domestic league have suffered unnecessary defeats

Haaland has actually scored 10 goals in 7 games in which he didn't play together with De Bruyne. I mean this statistics covers all the competitions he played in until now. He might have made his second hat-trick against Young Boys in this time period also. As a result everything is going just fine for Haaland now.

Of course there is a really strong bond between Haaland and De Bruyne in-game. Haaland is able to score easier in his presence thanks to his great assists.

This is why Haaland doesn't have the same performance as the last season now. But I still think his performance is good enough for Manchester City now.

Until matchday 3 of the Champions League, there were only two teams that had not scored any goals, namely Milan and Benfica. Even though these two teams performed very impressively last season, seeing their performance which had dropped significantly even during the group phase, many people certainly didn't expect this. Currently, Milan is in 4th position in Group F and has only collected 2 points from 2 draws, while Benfica is in 4th position in Group D without getting a single point after 3 matches which resulted in consecutive defeats for them.

Milan is still performing so badly. I dunno what's wrong with acmilan at this moment. I did aware how aggressive acmilan once it was facing newcastle in the first leg. The chance of milan to passs the group stage becomes even smaller as this club is placing at the bottom of standing.
It's not even qualified for the europa league this season too. Acmilan needs to do it even better than before. The coach pioli needs to do something to save his club from the disastrous result in this group this season.

In fact, if you look at the results in the domestic league, Milan is actually quite good, but when they face different teams outside the domestic competition, they are not able to handle it well. Pioli really has to provide the right strategy and of course he will evaluate all the players' performance during the 3 matches that have been played.

I think both of their chances have almost certainly been lost and this will certainly be enough to make them both worse off if they are unable to qualify for the next phase. Maybe both Milan and Benfica have to be prepared for the results that will come and they have to keep trying so that at least they don't embarrass their fans.

It surprises me that how benfica declined a lot. These clubs have three matchdays remaining at this moment. Acmilan has a chance to be qualified for UCL as long as it will be winning the europa league only if the worst scenario will happen and make acmilan finish at the third place.
I don't really see serious preparations for those clubs. Im only seeing if acmilan and benfica lack of preparation to face a strong club in the UCL group this time.

These clubs were not lucky enough being placed in the difficult group.

Benfica have been so bad so far and have never even tasted victory in the 3 matches they have played. I think maybe they are missing something that is causing this drop in performance? because it is very unnatural that Benfica is quite superior here but can't play optimally. When it's against Inter and they lose, I'll forgive that, but against Real Sociedad or Salzburg they also lose and that's unforgivable.

The extra step that Stefano Pioli will make and take is that he will try to handle his players as well as possible in order to win the three remaining matches in this group stage, because only this can enable AC Milan to qualify for the next round. Meanwhile, the other teams in the same group will also try to win in the remaining three matches, so Stefano Pioli needs to take extra steps for AC Milan if they still want to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

After the draw for this season's UEFA Champions League competition was made, the group F was considered as the most difficult group to qualify from for each of the the four teams in the group and as expected, after three games, the group is still open for anyone to qualify from it.
However, with just two points from three games, AC Milan who'll still play Paris Saint Germaine in two weeks time are very unlikely to qualify from the group. Stefano Pioli will have to win their remaining three games in other to qualify and that I don't think will happen considering the teams they're gonna play coupled with the fact that they're going to play away in one of the three remaining fixtures of the group stage.

It is not that Manchester city is bad but what happened is that they dropped in their performance which was at the climax. Even as they dropped in their performance, they also win matches, so the slight difference between their performance this year and that of last year is what is considered by many people as bad. Even if Manchester city is no longer playing in their peak, they have been able to win their champions league group matches and so, they are still good

People always want to see many goals scored by the aggressive team, but they forget if leading two or three goals are already enough since it's already hard for the opponent to comeback. If Champions League is the only league that Manchester City play, I'm sure they will perform all out.

But they're lack of players and they have a busy schedule, so it's make sense they're not want to try harder when it's already a sure win, they can save their remaining energy for the upcoming match.

Whether we realize it or not, the fact that Man City is experiencing a slight decline cannot be separated from the departure of several players who made a big contribution to achieving last season's achievements, Gundogan, Mahrez, Joao Cancelo who was loaned to Barcelona, Laporte who moved to Al Nassr, and now Kevin de Bruyne who absent due to injury. This creates a slight imbalance for strikers, especially Haaland, because new players such as Doku, Gvardiol and Kovacic cannot cover the roles left by old players and are less active in supplying the ball to Haaland.

Most teams do play more of defensive games and I noticed that was the kind of game Young boys tried to play yesterday. They knew it it would be very difficult to defeat a team like Manchester City so at least a draw would be better. Manchester City toping the group stage is something that everyone expected and they are more likely to win the league again if other teams do not play better. I wont call it luck but based on their performance they deserve to get the title again. Although with the likes of Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Barcelona and other good team it would be difficult for Manchester City. These clubs i mentioned are capable of beating Manchester City. If am wrong then let me know but Arsenal has already proven themselves.

They mostly play defensive games when they know that they have little to make chances. Young boys were bonus to Manchester City, if you observed in the first 40 minute of the game, Manchester City were tackling them but there were stronger, the ball possession says everything about their performance but Manchester Cityater broke in and had a goal.

They knew Haaland was a threat, they counterweigh all he had on him, didn't allow him through but on the second half, Rodri was the man he was depending on and been an elderly state man of the team, he played his part and assisted him and that's how he had a goal but reg, overall Manchester City were above Young boys in performance and experience.

Quote from: piebeyb on October 27, 2023, 04:15:22 AM

Since KDB was injured, it seems that Manchester City is not performing better in the domestic league, so they need someone who is right to replace KDB, at least providing mature passes for Haaland so he can score goals, because every time against a strong club, Haaland seems to have difficulty scoring goals, I think so too Guardiola should have placed another player on the front line to accompany Haaland.

I'm not too sure about "performing better" but they are good, the only person that has slack in his performance is Haaland, not that he is not good but comparing it to last season, he was ahead of this, he was clearly everywhere even in the media but ever since KDB went injury, that juicy assistance is not coming again. He is trying to survive here and also in the Premier League. This is why is good to be a playmaker and also a good taping, Haaland was never a play maker, it KDB and him that completed Manchester City team.

Haaland is a scoring machine, and I expected him to score more goals in this game. They have been performing quite well in the Champions League and are the favourites to top their current group. Much more goals could have been expected against a team like Young Boys, but a 2:0 win is not a terrible result for a team that is leading the group.

The club needs someone like lewandowski. Barcelona didn't have great attacker this time. Lewandoski was always able positioning himself better than barcfelona

If you look at Barcelona's performance in La Liga, I also doubt that Barcelona this season will be able to go far in the UCL, but currently in the group phase the Barcelona team is very lucky to be joined by a team whose quality is weaker than them so up to now there are no obstacles whatsoever for Barcelona. in the UCL match, later in the know out round it will probably be the real decider when Barcelona faces a stronger European team.
The Barcelona team under Xavi's guidance is slowly improving to become better, but when compared to the top European teams I think they are still very far behind, so it's natural that many people don't favor Barcelona in the UCL this season.

the group phase will probably be easy for Barcelona. but looking at the next phase which will bring together strong European teams, it will not be easy for Barcelona. If they meet Madrid or Man City in the last 16, it will be a loss for Barcelona. Facing a very strong team will be pressure for Xavi's team. we know the quality of Xavi's team play. they are not weak but often when facing a stronger team like Man City, Xavi cannot do anything because his strategy can be very easily known and dealt with by opponents.

European teams always do well in the group stage and European teams do well in the group stage to secure the next round but whenever they get past the group stage and enter the Super Sixteen, their performance gets mixed up. Barcelona is a good team in terms of performance, but if Barcelona's opponent in the next round is a team like Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayan Munich, then it is very difficult for Barcelona to go to the next round by performing well against those teams. Barcelona will certainly hope that their opponents in the Super Sixty of the Champions League are not the likes of Manchester City or Real Madrid, as it is difficult for them to win from there and advance to the next round.

Barcelona is one of the strongest teams in Europe but Manchester City or Real Madrid are more powerful than Barcelona and they have more chances to win.

Pioli has no chance other than winning all of the remaining games. It's caused by acmilan is now placing at the bottom. I see that if pioli may be sacked if he will be failed to bring this club into the next round.

It will be a disaster for pioli if milan will be out this early. AC Milan's current struggle to obtain three points from their opponents is a surprising turn of events, especially considering their previous top position in Serie A.

Dortmund and Newcastle are the two teams that seem poised to battle it out for the second place in the competition. Milan must surrender if the club will not even winning three points in upcoming game.

At this moment, Leao appears to be quite frustrated due to the abysmal performance of AC Milan. It's likely that if milan will be out from ucl soon.

It's not even qualified for the europa league this season too. Acmilan needs to do it even better than before. The coach pioli needs to do something to save his club from the disastrous result in this group this season.

I think both of their chances have almost certainly been lost and this will certainly be enough to make them both worse off if they are unable to qualify for the next phase. Maybe both Milan and Benfica have to be prepared for the results that will come and they have to keep trying so that at least they don't embarrass their fans.

It surprises me that how benfica declined a lot. These clubs have three matchdays remaining at this moment. Acmilan has a chance to be qualified for UCL as long as it will be winning the europa league only if the worst scenario will happen and make acmilan finish at the third place.
I don't really see serious preparations for those clubs. Im only seeing if acmilan and benfica lack of preparation to face a strong club in the UCL group this time.

These clubs were not lucky enough being placed in the difficult group.

Manchester city happens to be the favorite of their team as when placed side by side with others in the same group, they appear to be better and stronger maybe, young boys and Leipzig are good teams in their local league and are not doing to bad but they lack champions league experience over Manchester city, cit have a better level of experience than they do meanwhile crvena have the least of experience amongst them all.

Manchester city is definitely getting a spot beyond the group stage in the UCL as I personally consider them Lucky at group stage to have teams who will stress them less, the struggle for a second position will be between Leipzig and young boys, but Leipzig have a better chance because they already have two points while Young boys have a point. Crvena is most likely to crash out and hope to qualify next season.

We are aware about the challenging games in group F but the best teams always qualify with outstanding performance and results, I don't think AC Milan will make it out. Watching the Rossoneri transforming into an average team is basically out of line, there are levels in football that ought to he maintained. AC Milan are not in good shape this season. They have struggle to win UCL games but recording quite an impressive game in Seria A league games. Stefano Pioli having issues dealing with his players, I think if he's keen on having good results, he have to take an extra step.

The extra step that Stefano Pioli will make and take is that he will try to handle his players as well as possible in order to win the three remaining matches in this group stage, because only this can enable AC Milan to qualify for the next round. Meanwhile, the other teams in the same group will also try to win in the remaining three matches, so Stefano Pioli needs to take extra steps for AC Milan if they still want to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

Even though in the UCL it seems that AC Milan is really having difficulties, it turns out that in Serie A they are quite dominating the competition and they are quite consistent throughout this season in Serie A. Because currently they are even ranked 2nd in the Serie A standings. This is different from AC last season. Milan is clearly not that consistent. But strangely they were quite good in the UCL last season. Sometimes a team cannot always perform well in all competitions. Sometimes they are only good in one competition. And it looks like this is what is happening to Ac Milan. But with 3 matches remaining, Ac Milan actually still has a chance. Even though it is a slim chance, if they win the remaining 3 matches then they will qualify for the next round as they can do.

But for many people now they will definitely suspect that 2 of these 3 clubs will qualify, namely PSG, Newcastle and Dortmund. Because until now AC Milan has not won even once in the UCL. And that's a pretty bad result.

Their condition with the lack of consistency on every line, the high level of ego of the players such as Bruno or Rashford and internal problems, especially the injury of these players, clearly makes it difficult to predict for Manchester United but seeing the current condition they should have realized with a few matches that have been lost and should be able to fix it. Indeed, for now apart from Bayern for the second position in group A it is still difficult to predict who will qualify but this is actually a good thing for Manchester United because with this indirectly they still have the opportunity to compete in the Champions League.

Agreed about this all situation is not good for the Manchester United to hold second spot in this group because their performance is not consistent, and they are also having no depth in players they need to settle internal politics if they want to have positive results from them few players are surely creating mess up which is never been suitable for any team which is looking for the better results now next month they are going to visit Copenhagen which could be big test for them if they want to go through then surely they need to win this and have much better performance.

Ten Hag policies and strategy surely not ideal to handle current situation with this we can't expect anything good specially having good spot into Premier League which is now having the toughest teams at the top and these are not going to have anything relaxed for the Manchester United.

Manchester United are not on the course they were expected to take before the season started. They are witnessing both internal and external problems at the moment. The players aren’t helping and injuries seems to affect their performance. There are some mitigating factors in that poor run but that would not stop the pressure mounting on them. Sometimes I feel Ten Hag doesn’t have the capacity to deal with these things going on in the club. We have seen clubs faced with injuries and the managers devise a means to still pick up points and keep the team intact. Honestly we’ve witnessed plenty of Manchester United managers run into difficulties at the club, I hope that this Ten Hag's tenure would not become a repeat of the challenges those few other managers encountered. Ten Hag needs to solve this situation fast, because the scrutiny on him is increasing with every sub-standard showing.

Judge from how he makes substitution with lots of bias this season, believe that if he continues with that pattern he will end up losing games he has capacity to win.
He ( Erik Ten Hag ) has been following some ways of coaches that have failed at Manchester United. When I watch most of his games now they only remind me of poor coaches like David Moyes and Ole Gunner Solskjaer who had wrong decision making for Manchester United.

Manchester City in two days and someone keeps telling me that they'll win the game against Manchester City. I don't doubt that but i want to see it happening. Myself? Manchester City winning here or a draw at least.
