No big-time matchups this weekend but this being the last matchday before the international break, several teams will be looking to recover or increase their momentum. United have a tricky away game at Burnley, while City will have to solve Newcastle's hyper-defensive formation. The final game of the weekend sees Spurs go to Watford who have surprised many by winning their first three.

Milan looks... good? Surprisingly good. Calabria, Kessie, Çalhanoğlu, Rodriguez all looking outstanding. Bonnaventura is a rock, just a dope dope player who does a little of everything and Higuain will presumably be the goals. They're gonna be a factor.
Or maybe it's just that Roma is just such utter shit (today, anyway). Which, defensively at least, is now developing into an actual trend. To a man, everyone in the back has been terrible but a special shout out to Federico Fazio, who hasn't played anything resembling a decent game since before Argentina bombed out in Russia. Easy to be a prisoner of the moment, but these first 3 games have us looking like a team that's gonna be in a dogfight for that last Europa spot.
6. "excellent Lyon-Nice matchup" In response to Reply # 0 Fri Aug-31-18 03:40 PM by nighttripper
Hoping Nice holds because I’m rooting HARD for Pat Vieira and Mario, plus fuck Lyon. The kid Allan Saint-Maximin is on fire.
In mercato news, last minute Ganso to Amiens (cause why the fuck not), Moussa Dembele to Lyon & Nacer Chadli to Monaco (solid move) but more importantly HATEM IS FREE AT LAST & LIABLE TO PLAY ARSENAL IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE AND I REALLY REALLY HOPE HE FARTS ALL IN UNIAIS EMERY MOUTH.
In short, ligue 1 got all the plot lines. I know you see it.

have Nice found a good replacement for Seri in Tameze? Dude is smooth. Also l o l at Lucas Tousart throwing everything and the kitchen sink at the goal but coming up empty. There's a reason you're in the back son.

21. "the middle 50 minutes of this game were terrible" In response to Reply # 12
that gaffe was just the icing on the cake before we brought some stability back with shaqiri and keita. i don't want to see the gini-milner-hendo midfield again any time soon. we gave up our creative thrust and couldn't link up for attacks at all.
gomez played phenomenally well, at least. and the two real goal-scoring opportunities we had, we made the most of.

>Rabiot was garbage today. So was Marquinhos.
And we let Lo Celso go right at the transfer deadline? TT said he didn't want him from the start, why did it take that long and how did we not focus on that position rather than a freaking forward or defender

23. "fuck it, let’s rock with Bernede. Kid looks promising." In response to Reply # 20
Not gonna miss Lo Celso. But yeah, Henrique’s handling of this transfer window was a head scratcher. The Kanté pipe dream was a waste of time, when they could have had Nzonzi. Maybe they got the money from the Guedes sale too late too. They should have kept Flaco.
29. "Good/ok? He started nearly every incisive attack in the 2nd half" In response to Reply # 27
Dropping into the channel and then finding the first pass or dribbling into a spot to create the passing avenue. He did exactly what we need him to do with PAE and Laga in front of him, giving them the platform to work their skill.
