Lol great. Now Zagadou is subbed with an injury. Reus is down after taking an elbow to the head from Kobel.

 

Feels bad man

 

Neto's back. Great to see (unless he's playing v Everton).

 

Marco Reus with 3 assists and 2 goals.

 

Dortmund with 6 goals today and a clean sheet. They looked stellar today which, is par for the course this season. Can't wait to watch them be embarrassed again in an upcoming match.

 

Reus is just a machine. Looked awesome today.

 

He looks like a player reborn. :grimace:

 

Glad to see him get a new club. Hope he kicks on in the Danish Superliga.

 

This was given to Auba for the deflection I cannot find so he had a hat trick, @SamLevi11

 

The Basque derby not really setting the world alight as it stands.

 

...and now it's 4-0 Athletic Club.

 

I am both happy and sad. Knew he still had it.

 

Fiorentina lost Vlahovic to Juve, and replaced him with Piatek (and Cabral).

Since then, Vlahovic has scored once, Piatek has scored 5 times already. And all for a casual 50m profit.

 

Still (wrongly) won’t get picked for the WC squad though i suspect lol

 

Lukaku touched the ball 7 times against Palace, including once at kick-off.

I could do that.

 

In fairness to Lukaku, they talked about this on Motd and it's not just his fault. The team just aren't playing to his strengths even when he is in good positions.

 

Good call. I mean, theoretically, Lukaku could score a hat-trick with seven touches. Unlikely, yes, but still. So is the seven touches really such a problem? More so than Tuchel's tactics anyway? I don't think so.

 

Conte's Instagram, correctly pointing out these aren't counter attacks.

That pattern of play on the first two goals, with the centre back forward pass between the lines, is his specialty.

 

Love it when defenders and keepers can't fathom the possibility that they just didn't do a good job of stopping a goal. They have to cope by throwing up an arm in protest, claiming someone HAD to be offside before being proven wrong. At times it's almost as satisfying as the goal itself.

 

Looking like UEFA is going to move the UCL Final from St. Petersburg in response to the Russia-Ukraine situation. But they don't want to announce a stadium until more teams are eliminated as a lot of the major stadiums still have teams in play. (Cough, they could have it in Barcelona.)

 

It’ll be Wembley.

 

These videos are genuinely brilliant and funny, alongside supporting local Arsenal-related businesses. Cool to see non-Arsenal fans talking about them too, great PR for the business.

(also, great chips)

 

Reports Abramovic could be sanctioned in the UK, and that would include Chelsea.

 

So what exactly would that mean for the club?
