Dost off for Bendtner, don't see how that's going to help anything.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Wolfsburg have been an absolute mess tonight, from start to finish.

 

[Alan]

Wrong substitutions, bad ball out from Benaglio, worse pass from 23. Tie over.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

They're just not helping one another at all, miles apart from each other all the time, everytime one of them has lost the ball there have been 2-3 Napoli players closer than a team mate, only one winner picking up the lose ball in those situations.

 

[Alan]

All on Gustavo for me. He's been so bad tonight that it's been like playing with 10, hence the space Napoli have and the space Burg lack.

 

[Alan]

What a save that is!

 

[Jolemai]

DW, who do you think are really "top drawer" strikers right now?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

You can't blame it on one guy, no matter how bad he's played, not a single one of them has played well, they've just been completely done by Napoli and their compact shape, haven't had anything to trouble them going forwards and then they just pour through the gaps on the counter.

Messi
Ronaldo
Aguero
Suarez
Zlatan
Costa
Neymar
Lewandowski

Higuain, Giroud, Mandzukic, Benzema...they're all a level below at least.

Tempted to re-add Tevez to the list as he has been magic this season.

Okay, I blame it mostly on Gustavo.

Look how upset he is now...

Damn you edited that quickly Dan!

Not sure I'd class Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo as strikers. Forwards, sure, but none of them are really #9s in the traditional sense.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Damn you edited that quickly Dan!

He's right to feel hurt for me briefly forgetting him.

It took me too long to find a picture of him looking sad.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

4-0.

 

[Alan]

I know Benaglio probably can't do much about that, but really. That looks awful.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Benaglio! I've seen Sunday league keepers with more about them than that!

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Would've been 5 if it weren't for Insigne being nearly as small as my mom.

 

[Alan]

Bendtner scores a club goal! This match has had a little of everything!
