    It’s the perfect penalty to win in a derby for the lols.

    Pound for pound, Salah is the signing of the summer for me. Hopefully he keeps it up.

    Juventus - Tottenham is fascinating. Real Madrid - PSG the main event.

    City should destroy Basel.

    PSG Vs Real Madrid should be the highlight of the round.

    Sevilla are no pushover, but United should be able to beat them.
    Likewise Liverpool with Porto.

    Certainly compared to the £75million waste of space that is Lukaku.

    Salah is a bargain in the modern football market

    united and liverpool drew beautifully, they'll both be fine. porto got smoked at home by the current 4th best team in turkey.

    i agree with inty, that spurs-juve matchup should produce a great tactical battle between two superb managers.

    epic, SithLordDarthRichie

    Can you help me get excited about Europa League? Drawing from your recent experience. Atalanta just doesn't excite me, I think Atlanta would have more appeal ...

    Well, BVB has a new manager, and finally managed a league win for the first time in ages. A bit more excited now, Inty?

    Watched that game last night. Was satisfying to see a win, finally. A good sign to see Kagawa involved and influential, too. It's been too much of a two-man show in the attack.

    Inty, any idea on how to get Mkhitarian back in form?
    He's a confidence player, and seemed to struggle with that at BVB sometimes also.

    He's out of form for United, but is dropping him going to help?
    He was great at the start of the season, and can be one of Europe's best attackers when on form.

    He had a decent start at Dortmund but his form slipped more and more. Klopp stuck with him by and large, but moved him around a lot and clearly didn’t have full confidence in him. His turn around really only came when Tuchel arrived, who really injected him with a confidence boost.

    So dump Mourinho and hire Tuchel.

    Not much good if he only plays well for a manager briefly & then loses form.

    I don't have much faith in José getting anything out of him, but with Pogba suspended he's the best creative outlet.
    Would've been good to at least try him against City

    I feel like "hire Tuchel" is advice that would help 99% of players and all but about five teams around the world.

    Found this nugget quite impressive:

    Pep Guardiola now holds the record for longest managerial win streaks in the Premier League (15), La Liga (16) and Bundesliga (19)

    The Guardian posted its Top 100. DeBruyne should have been no worse than 3rd. Cowards.
