Two in-form teams failed to meet. Lens drew 1-1 with PSV at home. Of course this result is a success for PSV. If I remember correctly, Lens finished 2nd in the league last season with 1 point difference behind PSG. A 1-1 draw away to a team that dominated the French league last season must be promising. Both teams had plenty of chances but didn't make the most of them. We could have seen more goals in the match. I don't know if PSV can get out of the group but I think this group will be more competitive than the other groups.
PSV are really in a tight situation no doubt but it was actually quite expected as their are not that strong when it comes to playing in the champions league. But when it's comes to comparing these two team performance currently now , I think I would count PSV a better team because of their ability to win games their league and although their opponent the french team actually finished second but still no doubt that this PSV team is actually better in performance.
There is one lesson I would want us to take home in this Manchester United match Vs Copenhagen in the Champions League. Infact there are more than 1 lesson, let's go this way;
- Any player(s) performing badly for a long time or have been inconsistent just only one match to lift the player. The confidence of both Maguire and Onana is boosted, wait for great performances from henceforth
- Always be humble even when the whole world is against you. There is rarely any player that will receive criticism and attack as Maguire and his football career will not end. Maguire dealt with all this in silence, he is a true hero
- There could still be a win after two consecutive losses
What are you saying? Onana has not been a bad players, he has only had bad start in goal and only mod people will complain about Onana being a bad player. Onana has always been class!
Two games and you all worshipping Maguire like he is the lord and personal saviour. Not suprised. I will give him some slacks. The test continues again against Man City.
If Maguire can not make Pep Guardiolas B team why praise him.
