    Eriksen, Rose, for starters.

    Fergie took that attitude whether he had money or not.

    I tend to agree about Rose. Personally I think Eriksen has been performing the same as usual. Vertonghen and Alderweireld were last year. Not so sure about this year.

    Ah, the famous 2-3-2-2-1 formation. A classic.

    I could watch this guy play football all day long. Can see him quickly becoming my favourite player:

    If you compare it to the Brighton game, it makes more sense

    please log in to view this image


    Davies has an out ball of either Alli or Son against Red Star, while against Brighton his out ball was saying "**** it" and passing back to Verts

    More importantly, Ndombele was getting passed to - while against Brighton nobody seemed to realise he was on the pitch

    Tbh...Rose should have been told to find another club or get used to a season with no football...he is clearly not wanted and his inclusion has been disastrous this season...continuing on from his form from the previous 18 months...which is why he was told to find a new club.
    He would have gone as he is desperate to play for England.

    I would have offered to pay off Wanyama so he could effectively keep his wages to go to the team he turned down...maybe that happened but it seems unlikely as he is rumoured to have turned down the move cos of the wage cut.

    According to WhoScored, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe were the best centre back in the Champions League this week

    Seriously, why are they formatting their team of the week the exact opposite way to everyone else?

    The other game in our group:


    Lewandowski has played 12 competitive games for Bayern this season, scored in all of them and has 18 goals in 12 fixtures. Ridiculous.

    I knew he played well, but I didn't realise just how good he was! Wow!

    One thing I saw mentioned elsewhere, a minute of so before our third goal Ndombele pressed Marin only for Marin to pass back - but a moment or two later the ball returned to Marin, Ndombele pressed and got the ball due to Marin's bad touch and fed the ball to Son for the goal

    That's what we've missed not only this season, but we've missed it on a consistent basis for eighteen months, sort of like in the 80somethingth minute when Lamela was pressing a Red Star defender in the corner before tackling them to keep the ball in play

    Whatever language NDombele speaks, it obviously has no equivalent of the English word "sideways" .

    He's French and having watched Lloris' kicks sailing off the sides of the pitch, I'd have to disagree!

    Poch was asked about Toby and Rose not playing on Tuesday and whether that meant they were being rested for Sunday

    I'm surprised anyone but the Red Star right winger was aware Rose wasn't on the pitch...
