    Tuchel does look weird but you can't be Klopp all the time.

    Nagelsmann also looks like a rat king rodent with his huge teeth.

    Says a lot about the typical diva sh*t we've seen over the years, hope management tells Nagelsmann to not make any compromises or back down from big names.

    Good win tonight. Hope that brings our guys back on track. Trip to Dortmund next week.

    If that actually happens, our offense will be scary af for years. But I guess Gnabry or Sané has to leave then.

    Bringing in Gnabry&Goretzka again instead of Gravenberch, then ECM after 3:0 and no Tel.
    This is such absurd rotation and a total waste of our talents.

    Really hope that was in foresight of playing Plzen at home on Tuesday and resting veterans for the Dortmund game next away Saturday. Now that Kimmich and Müller are out with Corona again, Gravenberch and Tel should start in the Champions League.

    Barring injury, Haaland is going to obliterate the Premier League single season goal scoring record. They showed a graphic that through 8 games Mo Salah who currently holds the record for 38 game seasons had like 6 or 7 goals through 8 games where Haaland has 14 after racking up his 3rd hat trick of the season all coming on the last 3 City home games.

    Not having really watched Haaland match after match during his time in Dortmund but rather being more of a casual observer the thing that surprises me most about his is his speed and acceleration. His size and strength were always obvious but the way he can reach just about any type of through ball with a combination of his stride, speed and length and then his ability to generate such power and accuracy when he makes what typically looks like the slightest of touches is truly remarkable.

    He is like a cheat code in FIFA. I'm still upset we didn't get him to Bayern - twice.

    Him and de Bruyne are the ones I regret most, so close. :oops:

    You had Lewandowski in his prime for all those years which from a results player performance standpoint is the same thing. Before Haaland did what he is doing in City my brother and I always wondered if Lewandowski would have been as prolific a scorer had he signed in the Premier League instead of Munich. We always came away saying he would and watching Haaland do what he is doing only further cements that point.

    This Sporting vs Marseille game has been one of the more interesting 30 minutes of football I've ever seen. Game is in Marseille's empty stadium. Sporting comes out late for reasons unknown. Sporting scores 50 seconds into the game. Then Sporting's keeper has one of the most epic meltdown's I've ever seen a keeper have. Has a simple ball played back to him and he proceeds to slam it into the back of Alexis Sanchez for goal #1. Minutes later, he plays a freekick right to Kenny G...I mean Guendouzi which creates goal #2. Then minutes after that, he comes rushing out of his box for no reason and handles the ball a good 6 yards from the box. Straight red and he's gone. OM gets a 3rd goal seconds later off a corner that came from that free kick. Unreal...and there's still 10 minutes in the 1st half.

    Aside from the fact that Marseille has apparently become the place where all Arsenal castoffs go to die. Guendouzie, Sanchez, Nuno Tavares, Kolasinac...and add in Eric Bailly from United.

    Gnabry has been terrible lately, gotta give him some confidence and hope his goal helped him. 90 minutes for Gravenberch today, almost a half for Tel... should be fine.
    Win away at Plzen next game and the first place should be secured.

    Damn, Napoli has been on fire this far. 6-1 away win over Ajax, also beat Liverpool and Rangers to top the table.

    Brugge also perfect after three games, where's @Gdaliya?

    Marca saying Xabi Alonso will be presented as new Leverkusen coach today, interesting.
    Hope he can bring his possession-based mentality to the Bundesliga.

    Interesting choice. Guess Xabi kept working on his German after leaving Bayern, since Mönchengladbach also wasn't far from signing him in the past. Risky move by Leverkusen, hope it pays off.

    Oh man, Nagelsmann really doesn't learn.
    Zero dominance in our midfield/possession and the dude subs in Stanisic, Choupo and keeps Goretzka on the pitch for the entire game.
    Same with leaving in Mane for 82min although he was abysmal.
