This Marcus Edwards guy at Sporting is a really enjoyable player to watch.

Kulucevski was our best player to start the season, criminal he's been benched whilst Son is still starting every match.

Cagey tactical game so far with Sporting haven’t the two chance of the game.

Jesus it Edwards scored that it would have been one of the goals of the tournament!

The fact that we're struggling and Klopp isn't playing Nunez speaks volumes to me.

Very very excited for the Barca/Bayern match today. Hopefully it's a good one. Hard not to favour Bayern at home.

Wonder if those reports of him being awfuk in training have some validity.
It’s probably just because he’s awful in general.

I mentioned again and again in the transfer page that this guy lacks so much ability. Not clinical and technically very bad. Runs like a bull which if cool but not for 100M.

If you want him to be a project player fine but at 100M you need 30 goals right away or at least 20 and show some quality.

Edwards keeps up these games especially in the CL and particularly vs English opposition he will be gone by next summer.

Bayern Munich starting line up: Neuer; Pavard, Upamecano, Lucas Hernández, Davies; Kimmich, Sabitzer; Sané, Musiala; Müller, Mané. #fcblive

I don't know about Alonso. First game and then it's against Bayern. Xavi is taking a risk here in my opinion.

What's with Nagelsmann obsession on Upamecano? I never feel the defense is secure when he plays.

Going for 3-2 or 2-2 result.

I never thought I'd say this, but Sabitzer starting ahead of Goretzka is the right call currently.

Okay don’t think that Bayern will smash Barcelona like 4:0 (as they usually do). I guess it will be a 3:1 win for them, maybe even 3:2.

Away from home, a draw isn’t terrible. However, Spurs are very negative.

36 years old Edin Dzeko is still a brilliant football player. Composed goal and a very well picked assist for Dumfries' goal.

If he starts too many games, you'll be forced to buy at a certain price. If he doesn't, you can negotiate a lower fee.

Honestly, did somebody forget to tell Inzaghi they're in a group of death and GD matters??? His refusal to play with 11 players is confounding...

Maybe Upa over de Ligt since the former knows Lewandowski from one year of daily training sessions?
