Wasted under Pep. Man is playing him at right back, which is pretty outrageous. Especially as he doesn't even seem to be inverting. In the right side he'd be looking like Morgan Rogers does at Villa.

Offside. Such a shame. PSG have been so good.

What a goal that was. Man City defence was shredded. PSG look so much better without Mbappe strolling around.

He was on the left of Rondon, and Ayoze was on the right. He was much more effective on the left too. Prior to joining us he mostly played on the left or number 10 at Atlanta. Only got to see him on the left from Jan till the end of the season though, before Rafa and Rondon then left that summer. Thanks to Mike Ashley.

Interesting. Missed that game myself so didn't see how he fared. I really like him though. Think he's quality.

On the other hand Gyokeres continues to look an absolute stud. What a goal.

Some of Sesko's general play man. So loose with his passing. Could see Arsenal fans absolutely hating him after their delusions of thinking they'd get Isak

That's where he played under Rafa.

They probably saw Man Utd talking about £70 million for Garnacho, which literally made me laugh out loud. With each passing day the fee we paid for Isak looks more and more like incredible business. And what we can get away with asking for him now, can be more and more outrageous. Hope our scouting across Europe and South America is being beefed up, because it's daylight robbery getting players already playing in this league.

Agree. Should have done better.

Monaco lead. Wilfred Singo header.

Akliouche starts for Monaco and about to go up against Villa. Should be interesting.

Ah, okay. Interesting. That's pretty cool. Cutting costs in those areas certainly makes more sense than the everyday workers.

City have had to play Inter, Sporting, Juve and Feyenoord alongside Sparta and Slovan. They unsurprisingly hammered both Sparta and Slovan, who are the sort of teams they usually have in their group. They would have qualified already by now. They don't get off that easily this time around though.

They still are in this format though. Think it's a much better balance overall. Instead of always having them in tough four man groups were the bigger teams always have it easy.

Sheesh. Didn't realise the £20 million had been confirmed. Oh well. Would have easily got that back from Saudi too. How annoying.

Do we officially know what we paid in the end?

We would have been able to justify a decent fee for Vlachodimos. Greek number 1. Previous Champions League experience at Benfica. Would have been a great look.

Yeah, I hear you. That's what I was trying to say It's just such a long table.

I see. But do they have to make appearances etc. on behalf of the club or anything like that? Or is it just a lifetime title and benefit.

The previous groups were getting so diabolical, with just a few having teams that had to compete to get through. Was usually just a couple of teams that everyone knew were going to come through, beating up on some minnows. The table for this format looks a bit mad with do many teams in it, but it's pretty straightforward to understand. A lot more less obvious teams seem to at least be in with a shout of progressing, and the bigger teams are getting more of a test that some are in danger of failing.

I didn't realise all these guys were still getting salaries. Do they all still do work for the club in some capacity?

Oh my goodness! We could have made some really decent money with such a move! Such a shame. Dangit!

Yeah, been far more interesting.

This Ait-Nouri is an air head.
