Yeah. I saw Newcastle against Liverpool. Liverpool were one goal down and one man down for most of the match, yet they managed to win it in the end.
Newcastle lack experience and proper quality. They're by far the worst team in the group, in my humble opinion.
PS: Chelsea lost 1-0 to Forrest. What a joke. How to spend one billion and still be utter garbage. (IMG:

Agreed. They've got Botman, Sandro, Isak and Bruno who I consider to by very good players. The rest are just good to decent players. Maybe Gordon, he looks good.

Watching inter vs. Fiorentina, and my oh my how good inter are.
The derby is almost here and Im dreading this match up.
Milan have reinforced well but inter have also added further to a very competitive team.
Inter for me are the best side in the league.
Inzaghi has really turned them into a well oiled machine that plays beautiful football imo. For me, they are our biggest test during this run of 10 unholy league games that we were given to start with. If we get through this with a win or draw, I think we'll sail through the rest of the games.
We do have some nightmare fixtures though, Juve-PSG-Napoli within the space of 6 days I think. Just hellish
September, October and November are going to be really tough months.

Guess you don't realise how good Brighton are, huh?
Brighton are good, but Newcastle have better players imo. Brighton are well coached by De Zerbi, and just like any De Zerbi team, they have one major vulnerability, which is the defense. And not once did NUFC threaten to exploit that
They just have not looked good at all this season imo.
And as a disclaimer since you like to jump on my quotes and run with them. This is not me saying they are rubbish. FFS, you're the one implying I said this, where in no circumstances do I think this. I said they are good, you said they're the best team in our CL group which had me like (IMG:

What I said was, they are good, but by no means the best in the group and that the EPL hype is unreal.

See this is how silly your post is. You just acknowledged Newcastle are good, then one post later change your mind!
But where did I change my mind?
They are good, but not the best side in the group. For me, PSG are still clear in terms of quality. We come after them. Newcastle and Dortmund I would put at similar level, but I don't watch much Bundesliga so I can't say more than that.

Nah, they suck in the UCL, and Enrique peaked at Barca.
They're always solid in the groups. For me, they're our toughest match-ups.
And while I agree about Enrique, it still does not negate the fact that he's a good coach. I'd bite your arm off to have him at Milan

So you defend Dortmund as great despite a bad start in the league but Newcastle are garbage under the same circumstances?
Again, never said Dortmund are "great". Stop twisting what I say. I said they're a good side as well, just like I what I said about NUFC. Which is basically what I said in my initial post that they are on par in terms of difficulty for us imo. Both have good squads, both have started badly.

We're the best team in our group. I'm not worried.
Disagree. But to each their own.
