gotta love that panic new manager bump ;)

 

Leicester lol

Hard not to root for them in CL. I love it.

 

I missed the Leicester match to watch Kong. What a horrendous mistake.

 

lol Rostov have been banned from playing home games because their pitch is shit. grand timing.

 

Maybe Michael Oliver will be sacked this week.

 

Could do with it

 

In all fairness it's bonkers that Rojo got away with that stamp!

 

In fairness, it's amazing he gets away with being a football player.

I've not seen what he did, only Mings' tweet about it.

 

he's been quietly good this season at centre back and i'm one of his biggest detractors. horrid left back though, one of the worst I've seen. should have 3+ bans this season and has somehow managed none though. crazy.

stupid by mings, he'll probably get an extra games ban for that.

 

Man I must have missed that Gotze has a metabolic disorder (apparently myopathy) that will keep him our for the near future. BVB say it's completely manageable though, which is good.

 

Eeesh. That's nasty.

 

Yeah it seems like he realised he fucked up and tried to pull out/fall to make it look better. But it's bad. Oliver said he saw it and didn't think it was a stamp so no retrospective action. Stupid imo.

 

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Middlesbrough), Tim Howard (Colorado Rapids), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

Defenders: John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), DaMarcus Beasley (Houston Dynamo), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Omar Gonzalez (Pachuca), Michael Orozco (Club Tijuana), Tim Ream (Fulham), Jorge Villafaña (Santos Laguna), Walker Zimmerman (FC Dallas)

Midfielders: Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas), Alejandro Bedoya (Philadelphia Union), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Jermaine Jones (LA Galaxy), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Sebastian Lletget (LA Galaxy), Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers), Dax McCarty (Chicago Fire), Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund)

Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Toronto FC), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders), Jordan Morris (Seattle Sounders), Bobby Wood (Hamburger SV)

 

Yedlin's injury is huge. Lack of Besler, Birnbaum, Klejstan, and Feilhaber is surprising. Think Greg Garza may have been a good option to call in at LB.

Think we see:

------- they all good --------
Cameron-Brooks-Omar-Beasley
Bedoya--Mikey--Pulisic--Fabian
------Jozy-----Bobby--------

JJ is suspended for the first game, but he probably doesn't start the second one, I'd think. Lletget may get the start over Bedoya, knowing Arena's LAG connection.

 

Love that Monaco-City picked right back up where it left off.

 

Monaco 2-0!

 

What a team Monaco are. Pure attacking football, love it.

 

Afraid to turn on the City match. Did that last time and they came back and won.

 

Mendy's cross for Monaco's second was so pinpoint and delicious.

 

Stay away! I'm enjoying this too much!

 

That was one of the stupidest yellow cards I've seen. So lazy from De Bruyne

 

I was wondering why City were beginning to look better.

 

Never thought I'd be this happy to see Monaco winning a match

 

Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm trying to remove it.

 

Alright, Nick. Turn off the tele.
