Why is the Europa game on Wednesday?
Because two games can’t be played in the same city on the same day as Locomotiv Moscow play on Thursday and can’t collide with CL fixtures so is played at 3:30pm..

I was trying to be positive in hoping we get to the semis or final.
We could win tonight and if Villarreal draw then we'd be 2 points clear at the top of the group. Lets just wait for tonights result before going all doom and gloom eh?

Leicester I think could afford to draw this game and still not be too bad. They have 2 home games next and then an all or nothing tie against Napoli away as their remaining one. Bad result if they lose though. Is Vardy carrying a knock or has Brendan decided he isn't first choice material? @FriendlyFox

This Daka may just turn out to be a quality striker read he has really good stats..

Probably. Leicester is the kind of club these players can thrive. They are given time. Manchester United the pressure can be immense.
I’d love for us to unearth a few gems but we never go that route now, I think if we had a bit of success we’d go back to those types of players but just so much pressure as you say these days.

I think neither - Vardy is still first choice, but probably just still knackered from playing 90 minutes at the weekend - he is 34 (I think) so has to be managed.

Daka has a hattrick so probably justified to be fair, haha

You wonder if Martial put them off.

I feel really bad for Vitesse that got cheated out of a draw because of no VAR (CB was fouled in one of Rennes' goals). I doubt they can recover.

Also feel kind of bad for them that they actually sold out there stadium for the first time ever for Spurs and Spurs decided to send their C team.

Mourinho underestimated this team who are flying at the top of their league. He’s rested too many players and deserves what he’s getting.

Think he has to prioritise the league. Losing this game isn't such an issue if they can win next week.

Roma being dismantled by a team that costs Tammy Abrahams left leg and right buttock

Imagine being Jose. Imagine traveling to northern Norway in October for an European game. Temperature barely above freezing, snow, wind and rain...

...and then you get battered like that. On a scale of 1-10, how miserable is Jose right now?

I’m delighted by the Roma score. I hate managers who turn up arrogant thinking they’ll destroy teams from smaller nations. Show a bit of respect.

Roma aren’t even that good so making all those changes deserved the 6-1. Hope they score again.
