    No idea why Guardiola took off both Alonso and Vidal. They didn't do too well, but still... Kimmich is far from being ready for this level and we lost balance in midfield. Just wish we had another striker, no offensive player on the bench tonight (Coman seems to be not healthy yet). That shouldn't happen.

    Unnecessary loss, but we're gonna win this group anyway. Gonna make them pay in two weeks.

    The weak league had us fooled like last year, Pep's mistakes and bad defense only become obvious vs good opponents. This guy just never adjusts vs quick opponents that counter.

    Btw, BILD now also reporting that Bayern is in talks with Ancelotti, I think it'll happen.

    Gong to be massive for you guys. Absolute game changer. He will single handedly turn draws into wins and defeats into ties.

    Robben starting vs. Köln today, great to see him back on the pitch.

    But Pep trying to be too fancy again, putting Robben in the center and Rafinha on the left. It's all too crowded. It's like he constantly wants to prove that he is such a tactical mastermind or something. With Jupp, you pretty much knew what you were getting, and it was good - when it mattered.

    They (RoCoCo) are constantly changing their position, this could be a nightmare for opposing defenses. He should just put Alaba as leftback though, don't know why he always puts him in the midfield.

    Agree with you, Jupp was much more simplistic but it worked better vs good opponents.

    Seems like you were on to something when you kept praising Coman...

    Juve were idiots to sell him, the 28mil buying option will look like rape in two years. Should've honestly dumped their coach or had a serious talk instead of letting Coman feel unwanted.

    Chelsea may have just hit rock bottom. Mou sent off for trying to get to the officials dressing room.

    I want to see Abramovich think outside the box for once and hire from outside the league. Maybe JVG or Adelman.

    Dang. Lindgaard nearly puts them up with a beautiful touch and Hart made a great save in the end. ManU was really pushing for the win but just couldn't get one past.
