An interesting perspective on modern football here:
A lot to think about.

Rafa Leao vs. Dan Burn/Trippier to start us off.
Newcastle being dominated so far.
I would not have thought this would be a bad match-up for Toon, because AC Milan has been causing teams problem with the pace and tempo of their attack. That is unusual for Serie A, but not that unusual for the PL.
Four shots on target in 18 minutes says it all though.

Fuck, itās an early KO 
Leao, Jesus Christ. Just shoot lad. Newcastle look so vulnerable defensively.
LeĆ£o trips over trying to backheel the ball into the net and then slouches around sulking in an offside position whilst his teammates are still looking for ways in. Heās shite.
Klopp would have burst a blood vessel if he had to put up with that.

Leao has speed to burn and loads of talent, but it doesnāt come together reliably. I would love to see what Klopp could do with him.

Feels like Newcastle will somehow get the lucky win here.

Was thinking similar. Toon have found their feet, Milan have lost their enthusiasm.
was saying that when he was a 19yo.
Howe Ball. 11 players in the box.
This group is potentially so tight that dropping points at home against the bottom seed may be enough to doom Milan
Newcastle has done nothing
No, but it will nonetheless be a good point for them if they hang on.

Really disappointing second half from Milan. Should have won it with the number of good chances they had in the first half.
Newcastle did nothing until the last kick of the gameā¦zero, nada, ziltch, nowt.
& Jenas just called Milan āthe italian championsāā¦Iām done.
Just donāt think Milan can sustain that high-pressure tempo, they wore themselves out.
Fans will be irked dropping points at San Siro to a Juve knock-off.
ā¦and you are surprised by that
