Unfortunately you have killed all hope of its resurrection by spelling it Itallian, no Brentford v Sampdoria in your future

I think it was a second division competition when they brought it back in the 1990s, which is maybe what you remember. Initially it was mostly a first division affair, but there were exceptions. Swindon Town took part because they had won the League Cup but weren't allowed to take part in the Inter City Fairs Cup (it preceded the UEFA Cup) because they weren't in the First Division. Surprisingly, they won the 1969 final and were winning again in 1970, 3-0 at Napoli, until the home fans rioted and Swindon were awarded the final anyway. Looking at the details on wikipedia, the English teams were mostly from the first division but often from the lower end of it. Hence Crystal Palace taking part, as also Blackpool who won it in 1971 and were runners up in 1972. The top Italian sides seem to have taken part though, so it's surprising how well the English clubs did.
It was abandoned for a couple of years in the mid-1970s and brought back in the late 1970s as a non-league affair, so you see my local side Sutton Utd taking part. Here are my lot drawing 1-1 with Inter at Selhurst Park, itself not a bad result. The BBC took it seriously enough to have Barry Davies on commentary duty.
Sadly, I can't find any footage of the 2-1 win at San Siro.
Happy we have signed a another top player who can play on the left as martinelli trossard or madueke probably not at the top level we have been missing the last couple of seasons.
However my pick would have been semenyo who I think is quicker and would beat players on the outside rather than eze who will likely try to cut in from the left. I thought this prior to the Liverpool Bournemouth game too.

Yeah the gk really shouldn't be passing the ball to his cb when he sees Sarr rushing in on him like that. But teams do play out from the back against high presses, because it's better on avg

Bit soon to judge them I think. They were unlucky to draw the best team in the comp away from home in gameweek 2.
We'll get a better idea about them over the next 4-5 games.

Pep still oblivious to the weaknesses in defence. Should just go back to playing a back 4 made up entirely of CBs.
