David James was a shit keeper. But Owen, Fowler, Carragher, McManaman, Ince....how did Liverpool not do better in the mid to late 90s?

Any Newcastle fans on here? Interesting to get their thoughts on the takeover.

Defence was pretty poor, and Roy Evans wasn't the greatest tactician either. I think pre-injury Fowler and Collymoore etc was their best chance to win the title at the time, but James and the defence constantly let them down.

Wow, I just realized I named only and as man as 6 English players, 7 if you include Collymore. Different times! England 1996 to 2006 should have won something. Golden generation indeed, until we almost fluked bringing it home in 2018!

Golden generation indeed, until we almost fluked bringing it home in 2018! mid 90s was the time. just before owen got there...not that he wasnt great, just the team was better. you also missed redknapp, barnes, rush. and fair enough, he was 'calamity james' for a reason, but when he was on point he had some amazing displays.
england could have built a national squad around the core of that team which wouldve really changed the way they play at tournaments. similar to the west ham team of the late 90s/early 00s. which also included james funnily enough. but cole, lamps, rio, pearce, defoe, sinclair, carrick. pretty solid. altho the hammers never really had the money to keep that team together...

I’ve not seen them as I don’t have SKY or BT Sport or whatever fucking channel these games are on these days, but by seeing what folk are saying on Twitter, is it not time we did away with these fucking group stages in both Champions League and Europe League and just had knock-out tournaments again?
Tell you what, let’s re-name them the European Cup and UEFA Cup while we are at it.

Don’t think there’s ever been a co-commentator as bad as Steve McManaman. Just awful.

That should pretty much wrap things up for Bayern, then.

Pathetic, but I doubt anyone will be shedding tears for that club. Guardiola proving why he’s nowhere near the best manager in the world. A good few better managers than him these days. £800 million spent and he hasn’t got close to the semi finals.
Amazing for Lyon though. Great to see Moussa Dembele again, he did to City what he did at Celtic Park four years back. Brilliant player. They’re this years Ajax maybe.

Just remember - Leipzig is the only team Flick's Bayern've lost points with. Pray for German final

To think we used to have Brian Moore and Clive commentating with Big Ron Atkinson on CL back in the day. Too young to remember Brian Moore but Clive Tyldsley is the voice of Champions League for me! It’s fine to be a little bit in favour of a domestic team and although he was, he was purely objective if the performance wasn’t there. Fletcher and McManaman were basically calling Lyon cheats and divers and resorting to typical xenophobia for foreign teams last night. I can remember all the iconic moments in CL history because of Tyldsley’s commentary. Darren Fletcher is just awful - there’s been big iconic moments in the CL since BT had the rights and I can’t remember a thing about his commentary. It’s McManaman’s tone I despise too - always sounds exasperated as if he knows better, yet all he does is state the bloody obvious. ‘He’s got to do better there Fletch’ ‘The keeper should be catching that one Fletch’ ‘He’s gone down too easily there Fletch’. He has never said anything of any value and personality is irritating to the max! At least with Andy Townsend in the old days, he was so awful it was good (‘If anything he’s hit that too well!’).

Bayern Lyon PSG Red Bull PSG would be a tier higher if Mbappe and Verratti could play the 90 minutes +extra time if needed, also don't know if Navas will be available

Yeah Townsend wasn't too bad in hindsight. And David Pleat before him was always worth a good chuckle!
