I just finished watching the arsenal vs bayern match. What a thoroughly entertaining game, chances everywhere.

Douglas Costa is dribbling as easy as Hazard used to last season, only end product is keeping him from the same level imo.

Proper counter-attacking from arsenal, even though lewandowski should have scored twice

Costa was a menace. But he can only do it in the Bundesliga, he couldn't do that in the PL. Home of real defending and all...

I love Bellerin. Granted, Costa got the better of him quite a few times but Bellerin is so talented. Arsenal have struck gold.

He's fastest in EPL. Tactically not great, but the reason why he can match up against hazard and costa well is his pace.

For a 20 years old player I think he is alright. Player tend to get better tactically as they get to older.

He is just is quick and and his overlapping run is just fantastic.

What game yall watching?

Currntly watching Sevilla vs City..

PSG - Real.

It's sad PSG can't put in a convincing performance at home against a Real side without Carvajal, Modric, James, Bale and Benzema. Sad because you expect more from PSG but more sad because it's worrying and embarassing how far ahead the big three are of the rest of us.

Real aren't even close to struggling. It's impressive though. They have a real system so players like Vasquez, Jese and Casemiro (Kovacic, Nacho in other games) come in and don't look the slightest bit out of their dept.

F U to blanc and Rafa for making the PSG-Madrid game a bore.

FU to Allegri for making Juve play like shit.

You thought that game was boring? Good and interesting game if you ask me. And another high intensity game.

Matuidi is Essien. Aurier is awesome. My favourite RB.

I will keep saying this: Hulk is underrated.

I dont think Hulk is worth 40m but if he was cheaper he would be worth a risk in PL. Suits the style perfectly and has probably the best long range shot of all players in today football. His personality is questionable tho as he doesnt seem to be ambitious enough.

But I dont get so called football experts on this forum who say Hulk is overrated he plays in russia etc, but then they go with Yarmolenko as great player and so and so on despite he plays in ukraine...

No doubt he was overpriced, but some people act like he was total shit, and for me he would be perfect for a Mourinho side.

Okay, he plays for Zenith in Russia, but his record in UCL is more than decent, specially for someone playing for a non top european club.

To other side, he might be a the kind of player that is good for an average side, but can't live with the pressure of a bigger challenge. For example, playing for Brazil NT its clear he is fell the pressure and he produce some very bad performances.

For me, Hulk is a good player but the hype back in 2011 was crazy. He was made out to be the new Cristiano Ronaldo. Extreme price tag as well, eventually joining Zenith for €64 mil (that was a far more impressive figure back then compared to now).

His performances for Brazil were bad. He was so easily nullified. I read an article not too long ago about he how he changed his style this year (no more constant shooting from all angles for example), reaching a new level. And how his first few seasons were poor and the fans didn't love him but now they're changing their tune because he's finally started to carry Zenith. Maybe he can carry that form to Brazil.
