    What do you think of the Italian, Gabbiadini? That was my first time seeing him.

    EA's Peter Moore appointed as new CEO of Liverpool, wtf brehs.

    You'll need to buy DLC to watch the final minutes of the games.

    One of Italy's biggest talents (25, but that's young for a striker) imo, nice skills and vision for that position.

    That quick turnaround strike in a crowd got me. Not many can do that sort of thing or have the vision to attempt it.

    Barca's Enrique stepping down as head coach after the season, seems to have lost the support of his team.

    Bayern looking great again tonight, we've really stepped up our game for this crucial part of the season, exactly as Ancelotti predicted.
    Robben, Ribery and Lewandowski playing brilliant this season, also love how Thiago developed. Barca looking like complete morons for not keeping him.

    After that heavy defeat in Paris I already thought Enrique's probably gone at the end of the season. Will be interesting to see who they sign as his successor. Koeman already declined.

    The Arsenal game was kind of a game changer. But I'm still cautious, no title in the books yet. HSV pissed in their pants before the match even started and today Schalke played from the beginning with zero confidence as well. Let's see if Bayern can beat up Köln like this on Saturday.

    i've mentally checked out of this thread.

    will be back once liverpool fixes itself. klopp's "no big name buys!" policy is stupid.

    This is not true. I posted an interview with Klopp a few weeks ago, he did want to sign big players during the winter period, but it came down to a) players not wanting to join and b) clubs not willing to sell.
    Klopp targeted Draxler for example, but he opted for PSG and didn't want to join Liverpool.

    Bayern with a nice offense-minded starting XI today and Coman&Müller starting as well, should be an entertaining match.

    Good win, Ancelotti really seems to have found the right moment to unleash the beast. Now let's hope we can keep up to this. Müller and Coman both did well, hope they will start against Arsenal on Tuesday.

    True, although Coman could increase his efforts on defense a bit, rarely comes back on defense. Also surprised at how well Bernat performed today, great assist for Ribery.

    In general, most of our players are in peak shape atm, especially Thiago and Vidal playing great consistently.

    Just a shame that the CL Quarter Finals are more than a month away.

    And just like that, they beat Arsenal 3-1. Although that's not too special these days.

    when he was with dortmund, did klopp sign any marquee names? i only hear about him developing talent (only to lose them a bit after).
