Chelsea should be thankful as hell they got that easy CL group but I'm still taking Porto to finish first

City vs Juventus could be lowkey interesting

I already saw it against newcastle...and I saw it again today.

typical van gaal tactics are executed as they should be

blind and smalling going into midfield positions to create an extra player in possession.
Wingers keeping the field wide in possession
defenders going against the attacking midfielders when the ball is played high against them
no balls are played horizontal
breh I know you an Ajax fan but what are they saying out in Holland about my boy Gaston Pereiro?..PSV bought him from my team Nacional of Uruguay (same team Suarez came out from)

He has trouble adapting. He broke his nose so he plays with a mask on. And he has to replace depay and that aint easy. But the coach and team are patiënt with him so he Will adapt and impress soon enough I gues. How do you rate him ?

hes good breh, but he is very different player from Depay
hes very tall (over 6ft), left footed, powerful running/dribbling and he can play as a #10 or as a inverted winger cutting in from the right (which is where im assuming he will playing in PSV), so in other words his style is very European and he should adapt just fine. his finishing for a youngster was top notch and I think he will do well out there, I hope he gets called up to our national team by the beginning of next year once he gets more games for PSV
