Aside from the long trips out east, i think this is a very favorable group. anything other than finishing 1st would surprise me.

most interesting group will probably be group A with Ajax (NED), Celtic (SCO), Fenerbahçe (TUR), Molde (NOR)

It's actually a terrible group for BVB given that Thursday/Sunday rhythm and with those away games being really long travels.

thats why i said, "aside from the long trips out east". of course, its no fun traveling there and we might only get a draw here and maybe lose one there, but these are all teams, that dortmund has to win against. considering the group could have consisted of liverpool, fenerbahce and say trondheim, this is a very favorable group.

Yea the road trips will suck, but Dortmund should run away with this group. Wouldn't be surprised if Tuchel rested players like Reus and Auba (who he rested yesterday) on those Thursday road games in Azerbaijan and Russia.

I'm actually ecstatic that Spurs drew Monaco and Anderlecht

Those are proper European clubs. It won't be easy but the atmosphere should be great at the Lane.

Who knows, I've seen Spurs lose more embarrassing matches than this.

That said, Qarabag lost to Celtic. Celtic.

Bundesliga is killing it. Only Gladbach has been a total flop so far.

He only played 60 minutes at Sunderland before this, so this is only his second match.

Looks sharp, though. He spends a lot of time in closed space, but when he gets the ball he always looks eager to cut in and shoot. I like to see that from a winger who can actually shoot (ie. not Townsend).

Sometimes he overshoots, though.

Maybe. I haven't seen that too much yet, but it's early days.

He played a lovely ball for Alli earlier too, very silky touch.
