Barely got comfortable and Inter scored. But I dont think one will be enough.

[echappist]

I donno, Barça looks rather sub par...

[echappist]

Damn, Red Bull Salzburg manages to do what Barça couldn't: score a goal at Anfield.

And to think, Matip probably could have played a better match. So sloppy by Liverpool.

@wc1934, this group is a lot tougher than I expected...

Red Bull scored 6 against Gent. Today 3 more. Problem is D has given up 6.
They play Napoli on the 23rd.

Whisper it, but Salzburg might actually be good. That game at home vs. Napoli will be interesting.

you concerned that Matip is out? Gomez looked really shaky (especially on the Haaland goal). Vardy might steal his lunch money...

Not really. Gomez needs game time, but his contributions to the defensive record before his injury, last season, speak for themselves.

Well, Gnabry was a former Gunner...

edit: holy s***, in the span of five minutes, they scored twice more. This Spurs team in truly shambolic...

Game made Bayern look better than they are, could have been 3-1 Spurs at half time easily.. on the other hand, teams that function don't fall apart the way Spurs did.

Well that was a game and a half at the Kop.

LFC looked disjointed. Probably needed a break after having played that thriller on Wednesday. Hopefully Salah isn't hurt too badly. That was a really bad foul

Winning ugly, but winning.

I had legit forgotten about Dejan Lovren . . .

[echappist]

And oh my, how the might falls. And to think, this all sorta got started, b/c Laporte hurt himself while meting out City's trademark tactical foul. Instead, he injures himself, and Fernandino, the master of those tactical fouls, is forced to play defense. As the last defender, he very well can't foul as freely, as he may be shown a red instead, so we get to watch teams counter-attack.

I'm sure you'll remember better when you see this

Lovren took one to the noggin during some sort of free kick practice, and this is Klopp's reaction

Did you read where Petr Cech signed on as the goalkeeper for (Guildford Phoenix) 4th tier British ice hockey team?

[Gsinill]

The ceaseless reinvention of Bastian Schweinsteiger

Good summary why he is one of the most respected and regarded players of all time in Germany.

[echappist]

I was wondering if either resident Bayern fans was going to mention
him

Didnt realize how good he was at free kicks.

Did you watch him play for Chicago?

Nope, never watched a Fire or any other MLS game
