Newcastle and possibly Brighton the only ones given a pass, and West Ham losing to the best side in Europe at the moment.
United blowing the easiest group ever, Liverpool shitting the bed against an average Italian side, Arsenal losing to the worst Bayern side in living memory and city battering Madrid but can’t finish their dinner.
Germany - 3, Bayern, Dortmund & Leverkusen Italy - 3, Atalanta, Fiorentina & Roma France - 2, Marseille & PSG Belgium - 1, Club Brugge England - 1, Aston Villa Greece - 1, Olympiakos Spain - 1, Real Madrid
Clearly those pesky FA Cup replays have cost the English sides.
Shocking that all 3 title contenders are out of Europe in the same week. It seems that both Arsenal and Liverpool have hit the wall at the same time.
Could maybe let Arsenal off given that Bayern despite their poor season are still a decent side and have a strong European pedigree, but Liverpool were awful. Started really well last night but did absolutely nothing in the second half which was bizarre given they had to go for it. Not sure they even had a shot.
Went to the West Ham game last night. They were excellent in the first half but couldn't keep up the energy levels in the second and a really good Leverkusen side controlled the tempo. That being said, they were very lucky to keep their unbeaten record.
West Ham's biggest problem was having 0 options off the bench. Alvarez and Ward Prowse looked dead around 60 but they didn't have any replacements. Heard someone suggest a certain Mr Coventry should have been kept for this reason.
They are a weird club. Europa league quarter and a top 10 finish is way above par for them but majority of the fans want their manager gone!

Must be the fewest English sides at this stage for several years.

I watched it. West Ham put so much into that first half, Leverkusen dominated second half once they'd blown themselves out. The game should have been done when Frimpong went through clear 1 on 1 but blazed over.
Antonio is limited as a footballer but by christ, does he make up for it by being an utter handful. Thought Tapsoba done a pretty good job on him second half (can now see why Spurs wanted him last summer before we went for van der Venn instead!) Always thought Xhaka was a liability for Arsenal but he was very very good in both legs. Guess that comes with having so much more time on the ball in Germany as its not played at 100mph like the PL.
I was getting slated by my 12 year old for wanting Villa to win , he kept saying so you want spurs to get champions league and giving it to me I'm proud I've produced a bitter little shit who hates every london club
Didn’t know Gudmansson had left Burnley for Lille🤷🏻♂️
Not sure if I’m being whooshed here but not the same bloke. Johann is still at Burnley. Lille have a Swedish player called Gabriel Gudmundsson.
No whoosh. My mistake as I noticed JBG scored for Burnley today. Just that a pic on the bbc website of Lille celebrating their goal showed their Gudmunsson from behind and he looked just like JBG
Villa passing the ball round-the-box and only 1 player inside for a pass or cross. Not gonna score three if all the players are outside the box! Ask any Charlton fan!

Where is Lookman?
No English sides in the semi's of the Champions league or the Europa.

if so could be one of the most desperate things I’ve seen in a while.
