Arsenal have so much pace on the counter. Anita and Colback need to be very disciplined

Fair play decent side that, I'd drop gini deeper personally but that would be risky given the opposition. Hoping Mitrovic can control his aggression and give Arsenal a really good going over

Small outage just now.

I'm really hoping Mclaren makes the right call. Aye, hopefully not long distance. That would be fine, maybe we can ship him off to the Kazakh league.

I'm really hoping Mclaren makes the right call.

Cabella starts for Marseille in 10 minutes. I'll be interested to see if lemina is as impressive this week as he was last.

Actually finding myself looking forward to games at present. It's a weird feeling, and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be accompanied by an erection. Exactly, it's been such a long time but I'm really looking forward to the Arsenal game.

What about the hope flag?

Good to see Thauvin having a great debut, let's get Mitrovic on and get him a goal too

If 9 changes are true, that's a bit concerning especially given the rhetoric of we are going to give the cups a real go

Who thought that?

A lot of us will be watching nice with great interest Hatem left a big mark on those Newcastle fans with a few brain cells. Please keep us updated regarding Nice.

He impressed me as well. Got up and down very well, seems like he'd be an upgrade on colback

I like Rafa a lot but he's completely unsuited to managing Madrid. James Rodríguez on the bench was a head-scratcher for me; he was comfortably one of Madrid's best players last season. They need to buy a forward, or at least do some business like Chicharito last season. There's nobody to replace Benzema or give him rest, and Ronaldo is better coming from the wing. Everything Madrid have done this season has been bizarre. Was good to see Varane start though so Benitez did get something right. I thought Bale was awful though.

Correct. So typical of Perez

4-0 Marseille overhead kick from O'campos

Cabella just came central and was involved in some lovely interplay which led to a very nice through ball from him. Too bad Marseille's striker fell over his own feet

Cabella playing? Aye playing out on the left, he's been pretty quiet to be fair.

Some assist it was too

Marseille 3 up. I can see why we were linked with Lemina hes got a good engine and gets involved in central midfield both offensively and defensively as well.

I like Rafa a lot but he's completely unsuited to managing Madrid.

Liking the look of Marseille's fullback Mendy. Quick and strong looks decent going forward too

Wow Diarra has just hit an absolute screamer for Marseille

Think I'll have this and the Madrid game on then, interested to see what Cabella can do.
