If getting out of the group comes down to needing a result against Bayern... I'm getting ahead of myself. But we should try waking up maybe.
Winks and Dier in midfield is just atrocious. Dier hasn't made a forwards pass since 2006. Dele with a big brain fart too. Essentially can't get out of our own half without making a slip up leading to a concrete chance for Olympiakos. Also, I have to register my dislike for their jerseys, poor contrast. 2-0 now. Can't defend a set piece.
We have the firepower to make it a game still. The time wasting shit is gonna be fun for the next 70 minutes of gameplay though.
Eriksen suiting up for who? Cause I still maintain we have to have a better midfield two and would love some Ndombele now. Dier off. So hm, curious to see the formation.
Good to see Jose has come in and fixed all our defensive woes. It's almost as if the problem is with the players that have quit and/or should have been sold the last two years.
Getting ahead of myself here: presume we come back to tie this. Then we lose to Bayern and they beat Red Star. Tied on points, no h2h advantage. What's after that? Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams? So we have to match the 2-2 result at theirs in MD1. After that is: Goal difference in all group matches Which we would win comfortably. Okay, final analysis is if we end this game 2-2, we are almost certainly in. If they get a third goal, even if we tie, then advancement is out of our hands and depends on us beating their result against Red Star.
It is, but only after a few other hoops, namely that the scoreline here is 2-2. If it's 3-3, no dice because they have more away goals, CL is goofy.
Ooo la la. Can they bring that back upon review if what the commentator is saying about that Lucas challenge? edit: yay they didn't
Great defensive effort from Kane to unlock a little counter. End to end stuff right now, Olympiacos can't sit back anymore with their hopes on the line here.
Eriksen hitting the first man on the corner and the cross, that's a twofer. Ooo and the ensuing possession, Sissoko lays it off to Eriksen who, wait for it, hits the first man!
I'll be honest, I won't be upset if he hits the wall here, this is just too close. Gotta attempt to go around them here, not over. Eh, had to. I love the defender laying on the ground.
