Fuck I feel so bad for Shaw, injured a large part of last season and now this. He was playing amazingly.

I haven't seen the tackle but I assume it was terrible. Can ManU appeal?

Here´s a gif (in the news article, my right mouse button is broken :/) http://screamer.deadspin.com/man-utds-luke-shaw-suffers-gruesome-leg-breaking-tackl-1730850356

It was pretty horrific, and he deserved a red and a serious suspension, I agree. Whether anything will be done depends on UEFA (and football in general)´s stupid rules on whether the referee already judged the issue during the match. If he did then they cannot give a red card post-match, and suspend him accordingly.

Of course, in this case, I think he will get suspended. Clearly the referee did not see that completely uncontrolled tackle properly, or he would have drawn a red card immediately. I don´t think Moreno really intended any harm and he was aiming for the ball, but he was completely uncontrolled and blasted straight into Shaw in the most horrendous manner.

II remember some people saying that the player making an injury that severee should be suspended for roughly the same time as the player injured.

I dont think it was that bad of an idea, some players get away with just too much, a simple red for someone that could literally ends someonea carrier its nothing

city seemed on the slightly unlucky end of things, I didn't watch the match but the highlights gave me that impression. both juve's goals in by the post also.

united was just terrible though. There's no coherent attacking plan whatsoever, just pray the players are good enough to make something happen it seems.

Actually the problem I think is that the there is tooo much of a plan. Van Gaal has very rigid systems and not all players are receptive to the level of micromanagement that goes into his tactics.

Go this way, make this run at this time across this player in that direction when ball is in X spot. Its like drawing up a American football playbook.

Unfortunately now he has a whole squad of players who arent sure what to do. I think the players havent figured out how to balance their instincts with the system and for Van Gaal its all about the system if you dont follow the system you no good.

I'm going with C). Pande insists that it's due to money that Stoke City, Crystal Palace and the like are improving. I will propose a counter hypothesis: the BPL is all shit, and it only looks like the Crystal Palaces of the PL are improving, because what is actually happening is that the top teams are getting steadily worse. Regardless of the money.

+ Show Spoiler +

I am obvioulsy just taking the mickey. I think ManU overrated themselves, underrated PSV and played horribly. PSV on the other hand, played above their normal level. The only one who seemed somewhat on point at ManU was ex-PSV player Depay. Ironic, innit

its not untrue that teams like Palace improving. They are for sure, the talent that English teams have access too kinda makes it a guarantee that atleast some teams will make good enough buys to get better. Others not so much but you look at guys like Payet that would probably walk into a top 4 team on current form and you have to admit there is quality in the PL at the lower tiers.

The problem is that the top teams are not where they should be. So as good as Palace, Swansea or West Ham are they will never be title contenders. And frankly the teams that should be title contenders dont look it. Well most of them anyway.

Edit: sorry didnt see the spoiler

How the PL teams spend so much money every year and still manage to suck in CL is getting kinda fun

Italian teams are on another level when it comes to tactics, Evra said as much. Juve might be slightly inferior on paper (and experience a dip in form), but they still had enough quality to make it an even game with a better game plan and better tactical awareness.

Well its the first matchup against the arguably best opposing team in that group. It would not be a shame to go second place in a group with last season finalist. Wouldn't you agree on this? I mean, I still find that pretty funny tbh, but chances are high that ManC still advances in second or even first place.

Stats also back up City having more of the ball, more shots more shots on target, but failed to make them count. Sterling himself missed two 1on1s with Buffon which at this level you have to take 1. Juve had 3 shots on target and converted two of them, City had 5 converting 0 (as its an own goal right they scored?)

One stat i don't get from that game is how no one got a yellow card, unheard of for an Italian team that ? xD

And Kompanys goal was a foul and shouldnt have counted.

I'd be surprised if ManCity advances tbh. Sevilla is way to good.

Sevilla are the La Liga Gladback terrans

they have yet to win in La Liga this season

Sevilla Gladbach and Chelsea the teams in the champions league in woeful form.

Yeah i concede Kompany goal was a foul but still doesn't change the stats from that, Buffon makes good saves, Hart has 3 shots at him the whole game etc.

Two Draws and 1 loss to Athletico. It isn't as bad as Gladbach or Chelsea yet imo. And Sevilla always does an incredible job internationally whereas City always disappoints.

It's gonna be close between Sevilla and Man C but English teams are so unbelievably dreadful when it comes to any sort of tactical plan that I'd favor Sevilla over Man C.
