I get that the team likes him, but United can do so much better than Solskjaer. They've already wasted a lot of time with him.

Dear Ronald,
this ain't the Europa League.
Scrubs like Luuk de Jong will get you nowhere here.
Yours sincerely,
Manuel Neuer

You won't see much worse tackles than De Bruyne's just now. A leg breaker that should have been an easy red.

He won the ball. It happens sometimes on the follow through.

Lots of diving by both City (Sterling) and PSG. It was a good to get a competitive preview of them, though perhaps City was a bit hung over from the Chelsea match. City looks worse in the final third than last year with yet another midfielder and their striker set being a bit more off form.

PSG's mids were slightly less ball dominant but were very intelligent with their ball progression into space. It looks like Pocch is pushing for a more specialized player set to rotate between the front 2 lines to cover for the bad defensive workrate and efficiency of Neymar and Messi. It wasn't a coincidence that Gueye played as LW for a lots of phases of play. On the other hand the creativity and ball progression of the wing players needs some work.

Crazy. N'Didi sent off last week for nothing like that tackle!

Everytime the pressure gets huge, Ole gets a lucky break.
Got to love it. Please keep him, it's better for all of us.

Shakira attacked by boars, just while her husband was being attacked in Lisbon yesterday...

Ajax completely destroyed BVB. Truly amazing football from the pride of Amsterdam. I'm proud of you all.

Some good games tonight. Liverpool vs. Atleti was a blast, albeit ruined by a sending off and an idiotic penalty, but still very enjoyable to watch.

Benfica - Bayern.

No Davies tonight. Let's see how my Reds measure up to the best of the best.
