To me the games in Group A and B are the most interesting. Could see Monaco and Spurs eliminated (either completely or just realistically) if results don't fall their way.

Liverpool should pick up an easy win and take control of group C, although they'd still need at least one result in the last two to make sure they move on.

United getting a result, or Valencia dropping points again, would give United a significantly easier time to move on, although 2nd in the group will likely come down to matchday 6 either way.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Not beating Valencia at home was brutal. They're such a bad team.

This group shaped out to one that United should easily have advanced from as the 2nd team, and yet here we are.

Though in reality, I don't really like United's chances against any group winner should they get through. As of who leads their group now - maybe Porto. The Roma/Real group has both teams struggling this year. But I just have little confidence. We know Mourinho is gonna go shithousing lineup and try to defend, and it never works.

Some tasty games today! Looking forward to the Madrid Dortmund one for sure

 

[Cassano]

Rabiot benched

 

[hatterson]

And the Liverpool game starts with an absolute phantom yellow to Belgrade.

 

[hatterson]

Red Star has clearly been the better team so far and they're rewarded with a lead off the corner.

Just didn't mark him coming in on the corner. Everyone on liverpool were just standing still.

 

[Burner Account]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Savi]

Brugge with a super efficient performance so far in Monaco. I think both teams have had 3 good chances so far but we scored every one of those while Monaco hasn't.

A loss would functionally eliminate Monaco, and a loss and a Atletico win would officially do it.

 

[Burner Account]

Wow.

 

[hatterson]

What a strike for Red Star to double their lead.

 

[Prntscrn]

Klopp kind off showed the players what type of attitude to have towards this game by not starting the best team possible. Red Star at home is one thing but a completely different thing away, he must know this

 

[hatterson]

Really smart run too. Cut in front of Wijnaldum twice to make sure he kept the ball and gave himself some space.

 

[Burner Account]

my oh my if Sturridge would have scored that sitter

 

[Evilo]

Monaco.
Yeah let's substitute one of the best and proven coach in the business with a rookie coach and see the magic.

Where magic awaits for now. Monaco out of the european competition and will sturggle to avoid relegation.

Firmino is really the only guy sitting, isn't he? I guess maybe Fabinho instead of Lallana but it's not like Fabinho is a regular starter.

Keita still hasn't played since his injury so it makes sense that he's not starting.

 

[Burner Account]

Sturridge in "kill everything he touches" mode

 

[Prntscrn]

Firmino is really the only guy sitting, isn't he? I guess maybe Fabinho instead of Lallana.

Matip insted of Gomez aswell. Sturridge, Lallana and Matip that's three rusty players straight through the core.

Most away games in the Premier League are less difficult than this one even though most of those teams are better

 

[YNWA14]

Plus Lallana is pretty terrible as is Matip. Not watching the game but sounds pretty terrible.

 

[Burner Account]

what a garbage half

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Can we have a conversation about how Marko Marin is playing for RS Belgrade? Who knew!

 

[Evilo]

PSG starting a surprising lineup after all.
Kehrer instead of Kimpembe. Kimpembe has been out of form this season but Kehrer... well...
No Rabiot (Tuchel seems to have had words with him), Bernat at LWB ( ), Draxler in midfield, ADM/Mbappe/Neymar up front.

 

[hatterson]

Firmino coming in at half. I'd assume for Sturridge.
