I'm surprised Coutinho is allowed to play against Barca. Doesn't usually happen, does it?

The rule of loan players which can't play against their parent clubs only exist in England i believe. In Germany it's normal to play against your parent club if you are on loan. And i think this is normal in most European leagues too.
 
Camera caught a glimpse of Griezmann, he's still on the field if anyone was wondering what happened after he came on at half time
 
Wan Bissaka may not be the best in attack, but there is no doubt he is special in defence. Highest number of tackles in the Premier League. 4th Highest in Europe.
 
If it weren't for Ter Stegan this will be double figures.

This almost makes our result in Munich look respectable.

Because the games moved on and the modern day top full back needs to be able to do more than just defend. Top attacking teams typically get their width from their fullbacks these days so they need to be apt going forward, more so than previous years.

Similar to how the role has changed for modern centre backs. Case in point, Chris smalling is still probably the best natural defender in the country and won't get a look in for club and country.

Never heard inverted full back aren't you.

Bissaka was signed perfectly to compliment Pogba.

Fair enough, but the chance to be on a special team like Bayern. I don't know, I'd find that hard to pass up.

He's been there for 7 years and has won 7 titles. Also has two titles for Barca. Big incentive to try and win a PL title. H'es only 29 as well. Could have 10 championship titles in the 3 biggest leauges in the world by the age of 30 - that would be incredible.
 
Never have I seen a more relentless team than this year's Bayern. They bombard you like a team on FIFA, absolutely unstoppable.

He needs someone in front of him. I know Mason is there, but a Sancho would be spectacular.
 
Well deserved for lewandoski.

I wish our players would put in crosses like that. We are crosses away from being a dominant team :lol:

Edit: ruled out
 
I thought loan players couldn't play against their loan clubs. Weird.

Who are the top 3 for tackles?
 
I absolutely love it!!! Goal is given. Nothing better than seeing these cnuts get a proper battering.
