I wanted to also comment on this.
The club wanted to re-sign him. He wanted to leave. They granted his wish because the club knows that the only way we are going to get the best young players to sign with us is that route. Its a smart way of approaching these occurrences for the overall personnel strategy of the club.
Sancho is going to leave at the end of the season, and it’s going to be the same thing. The Dembele and Aubameyang situations were different. The club was willing to accommodate either player with a move, but not under crazy terms. Pulisic understood that, and didn’t force a move during the winter window. I suspect Sancho will understand as well. Aubameyang and Dembele both acted out. No club is going to react well to that.

Hazard is not good enough to start. Very good winger option off the bench. We are still missing from the lineup our best player from last season and he sits on the bench every game. The coach brings on this Larsen kid who never adds much. All because Goetze refused a pay cut. If I ever hear someone complain about how Goetze shafted the club by leaving, I’ll cite how they are now shafting him by refusing to play him due to this contract dispute.

This isn’t even a hot-take, it’s a bad take. Take a look at their career end product numbers and then tell me you still have the same opinion. Pulisic has been a productive player over the course of his career, Iwobi isn’t.

I forgot to give my take on the match from yesterday.
While I’m frustrated with getting a nil-nil from that game, we played very well. Hummers was brilliant, Hakimi was brilliant, Sancho was brilliant, Witsel was brilliant. We are firing on most cylinders. If we can get Reus back on form, we can win a title or two this season. Significantly outplaying Barcelona is a good statement of intent. The xG has us winning the game by 3 goals. That doesn’t happen often against Barcelona.

The amount of injuries btw PSG and Real is amazing. I didn’t realize it until I saw the starting lineups

Frustrating game for Brugge. Dominated most of the match, had plenty of chances to win it, but just could not get that goal. Shame.
Galatasaray have plenty of "big" names with top 5 league experience, they look good on paper but man there's just no chemistry at all. Think they had 1 good chance (Babel) in 90 minutes.

Incredible finish by Bale, but by the new rules it can't count.
It hit Bale's arm before his leg and the new rules have zero tolerance.
Edit: Yep. VAR reverses it.

Not down about yesterday.
Liverpool always do this the hard way, and having the San Paolo trip out of the way after match day #1 only works to our benefit. That was absolutely our most difficult group stage match.

It was beautiful. I was expecting a field goal like he usually does.

Atalanta and Leverkusen showing these big leagues need an extra two spots in the CL 
In a non joking way only the EPL and La Liga have four quality sides in the competition, the likes of Atalanta, Leverkusen and in the past Schalke, Gladbach, Hoffenheim don’t bring much to the table
