Unfortunately I agree. The big premier clubs will, eventually, dominate European football. Who can stand in their way when they can spend the kind of $ that they have?

It will take them some years and a few more wasted billions but, eventually, it is going to happen. They will learn or even if they dont just keep spending until something sticks
PSG will keep spending. And eventually will sign a top manager who can win the CL.

Barca and Real will always be around. Perez will replace Ronaldo and co with other galacticos and with the record in CL players will want to join Real. There is even talk about Neymar going there potentially. Not like these things havent happen before (Figo).

Dude they just dropped 75 mil on Van Dijk and and 80 or so on the African guy from Rasenballsport Leizpig.

Liverpool's will become a top club again before United (Not sure if they will). It will probably happen next year even as long as they fix the D
You make it sound like Man Utd doesnt spend big?

This is like first expensive signing Liverpool made in years.

Meanwhile Utd buys Lukaku for 85m. Pogba 100m last year, Martial for 60m before, Di Maria 75m the season before. That just one player price in every summer, not including other additions like Mkitaryan, Matic, Lindelof which goes like 160m combined.

Never said Yanited dont buy. Just saying Liverpool are starting to invest some serious money into the club. I feel like Coutinho may change his mind about leaving Liverpool by next summer.......

Everyone is getting stronger. PSG, Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham are all clearly better than they were only 2 years ago. It's annoying but fascinating at the same time. The Champions League this season is more open than its ever been before.

Imo, it only looks more open cause some of the bigger teams looks worse. But I'll wait with my judgement till after the round of 16. It's in February the real match form (from the CL contenders) should start. Now, City, Barca and PSG look as strong as ever this season. Bayern, us and Tottenham looks like we're only getting better and better. But I gotta say that Tottenham look really good, when they only have to focuse at one thing. I don't know about Real. If they're going all in on the CL, they're a top candidate. Liverpool and United looks like they're in decline.

45 minutes of football against a 16th place Cagliari side and we have not created a single chance from open play. Not even one. Our two best goalscoring opportunities this half were great shots from distance by Dybala and Berna. Those were not chances, they were moments of individual brilliance. We can’t even string two passes with purpose together in their final third. Our movement in attack and midfield is nonexistent. We will probably still win this game because we have so much more quality than them, but that will just paper over the cracks.

But of course, the usual suspects on here will never acknowledge Allegri’s clear weaknesses as a coach.

Napoli played 19th place Verona today AT HOME and they couldn't break though until ~70th minute. This is what it is, smaller teams aren't interested in playing open football.

BTW. we also had Benatia's goal disallowed. We weren't good enough this half but it's very tight in there.

The best chance this half has gone to Cagliari.

Much much better second half.

I still retain my unpopular opinion about Allegri.

Higuain and Dybala incompatible. Would have preferred if Higuain came off at halftime instead.
