Wonder if da looming CL tie against United had to do with Sevilla's 0-2 L at home to Valencia

Valencia are now +11 points on Sevilla for the fourth place trophy, which basically seals both of their European fates for next season

Giroud has had hella chances this game

**** I really hope tolisso didn't just break/fracture his shin direct full power kick directly into another players shin. can't really put pressure on it, needed help back to the locker room

Looked nasty, never fun clashing shins in that manner. By the looks of it, could be a long spell out for Tolisso.

Separate from injury, I implore Bayern supporters to remain patient with "Coco." I realize a premium fee was paid to Lyon (second-highest amount received behind Lacazette), but he often plays in a formation that doesn't best suit his style or talents. The 4-2-3-1 that Jupp Heynckes prefers doesn't maximize Tolisso's playing style. Instead, a 4-3-3 or even 4-1-4-1 help to unleash "Coco's" box-to-box skills. He becomes more comfortable roaming the pitch with Javi in a deep-lying position behind him. Plus, Tolisso has performed well in Champions League and from what I understand, has the full confidence of Rummenigge moving forward.

Since you're the resident Bavarian fan, I'm keenly tracking how Bayern will transition from Vidal, Ribery and Robben to more youth in the form of Goretzka, and perhaps wide players like Leon Bailey and Ismaila Sarr.

Wow.

Incredibly hard to pull off. Not the first time he's done something like that either.
He once pulled this off against us:

Dembele looked great on the field today. Hopefully his confidence starts building up moving forward.

Suarez needs to get used to adjusting to Dembele's pauses and speed switches too. Dembele had some great crosses, but it seemed like Suarez was thrown off a bit and got frustrated. If they get on the same page it's gonna be a deadly combination.

Wow.

I love these over the shoulder volleys

That Rooney to RvP one is insane

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Nice one two from @jape’s man & Coutinho...

West Ham has fire as kits for them to be in shambles like this.

I'm not. How are the other kits so fire, and then these look like the shirts you find on discount at Ross? Smh

 

[whtascene]

That Vardy finish was sublime.

 

[ROYGBiV]

These WC kits are a letdown for the most part.

Wilshere was doing some talking prior to this game so I hope Arsenal can back it up
