You watching every game simultaneously again, Walter?

Watching City/Porto and the goals show.

Zapata has given Atalanta the lead.

Bayern leading through Coman goal. Lovely Kimmich pass after Felix jumped out of a challenge.

Some finish by Mane :pac:

Mr.Nice Guy

Comical stuff from Tagliafico. Gomez meanwhile has scored a beaut off the underside of the crossbar to give Atalanta a second.

Goretzka makes it 2-0 to Bayern. Coman again involved.

Muriel has made it 3-0 to Atalanta. Keeper fumbled Zapata's shot. Very wet conditions in Denmark.

Champions of Europe starting as they mean to go on at home to the stingy Athletico Madrid, leading 2 nil and getting into their stride.

Mr.Nice Guy

That was a brilliant goalline clearance by Fabinho.

Half-time. City been very disappointing. Having most of the possession but not threatening much. Porto looking dangerous and Walker had to clear off the line. Suspect Pep will be giving them an earful.

Turtyturd

Champions of the World leading 1-0 at half time. Adrian being the biggest danger to that lead.

TheCitizen

Liverpool so lucky to be ahead. Hopefully Ajax get a bit of deserved luck and win the game

TheCitizen

Keith Andrews analysing a Liverpool game is a joke

TheCitizen

Worrying actually that Andrews is in the dugout with Stephen Kenny, he does not come across as very intelligent

Mr.Nice Guy

Lukaku makes it 1-0 from close range.

Turtyturd

World champions denied a clear penalty.

Firmino? Should've been carded for diving

osarusan

Ajax play lovely stuff at times, just nobody finish off moves.

Mr.Nice Guy

Klopp taking off his front 3 before the hour mark is unusual. Were they playing poorly?

Thuram has won a pen for Gladbach. Bensebaini converts it to level the game.

It wasn't a peno but if they carded players for that we'd never see Fernandez again.

Mr.Nice Guy

What a goal by Tolisso. Absolute rocket.

Gundogan with a peach of a free-kick to restore City's lead.

Honestly, what is that other than a dive. There is never enough contact to make him fall like that. He fell over wanting a penalty.

PsychoPete

That was a lovely free kick from Gundogan

Mr.Nice Guy

Great solo goal by Coman for 4-0. He turned Felipe inside out.

Sub Ferran Torres makes it 3-1 to City. Skipped by Pepe very easily. Hard for Porto to come back now.

Mane was good, the other two not so.

Still, Klopp has 5 subs to work with and good replacements to bring on. He will have an eye on resting the 3 lads for the weekend.

Mr.Nice Guy

Gladbach have turned it around to lead 2-1. Long VAR check for that. Hofmann on the break and finishes through Handanovic's legs.

Miranchuk with a lovely goal for Atalanta. Olympiacos meanwhile have taken the lead in injury time.

Lukaku has equalised for his second of the night.

Pepe is mad. Surprised he didn't get a card for that clash with Sterling.

Shanotheslayer

Ajax keeper has been excellent from the bits I saw

osarusan

A bit weird to have 'You'll Never Walk Alone' piped in for the last few seconds there!

Good result for the World Champions. Overcame Adrian and some poor officiating and shocking decisions.

8-10

If you listen to Brian Kerr, Klopp was angry at them

Common sense opinion: this was pre-planned like every other Klopp 60min sub

Salah doesn't get hooked for poor performance EVER. Klopp knows he can score in a heartbeat no matter how poor he is in a game.

Liverpool finally have decent replacements in Taki and Jota so the lads getting a rest will become more common ,

As you said it was quite obvious Klopp tried resting as many as he could last night,

Milner, Gini, & Jones didn't feature against Everton bar 4 minutes for Gini and then taking front 3 of at 60 minutes, Even Trent didn't venture to far forward, The whole game was played in second gear

I reckon Saturday you'll see Thiago, Naby and Henderson in midfield and everyone let of the leash again ,

Mr.Nice Guy

Really interesting game between Shakhtar and Inter. If Shakhtar can get a win they'll be on 6 points and will have a great chance of taking one of the qualifying places.

kksaints

Lokomotive really should have scored after 3 minutes. Free header straight at Neuer.

DM_7

Unreal goal from Bayern. Like a video game.

Mr.Nice Guy

Barella unlucky not to put Inter ahead. Lovely technique on his strike that hits the crossbar. Lukaku absolutely bullied the Shakhtar defence to set up the chance.

Sensational save from Shakhtar keeper Trubin to deny Lukaku's free-kick, tipping it on to the crossbar. Lukaku stunned it didn't go in. Won't be many better stops than that this season.

0-0 at the break. Inter the better side and Lukaku causing lots of problems. Tete looks bright for the home side but they struggled to get out of their half for most of the half.

Cracking game..Ref letting loads go...

Nice to see fans back. Interesting wall from Lokomotiv for the free kick

Great chance for Lokomotiv to go 2-1 up, lad went for glory himself

And then Bayern go 2-1 up, lovely finish by Kimmich

Mr.Nice Guy

Ends goalless in Kiev. Frustrating game for Inter who were the better side. Lautaro missed a sitter from a rebound. I thought Lukaku should have had a penalty, although the BT commentators and VAR didn't think so.

4 points from games with Madrid and Inter is a grand start for Shakhtar.

Mr.Nice Guy

Torres gives City the lead. Marseille with a gift via some awful defending. Rongier passes it back towards Caleta-Car who stands there like a statue.

y0ssar1an22

these lads vs liverpool are sprinting all over the place! no way they can that up

Quazzie

Fabinho off. Pulled up, and didn't look happy. Not what Liverpool need right now.

all the best to rhys williams.

did i hear the commentator say that Henderson might drop into CB?

y0ssar1an22

oh, that could have been a red on Henderson!

Madrid losing at Gladbach.

Under pressure now.

Mr.Nice Guy

That was a superb strike from Thuram to give Gladbach the lead.

Ajax continuing their good form and lead Atalanta 2-0.

Mr.Nice Guy

Atletico in a spot of bother. They've gone 2-1 down to Salzburg. Both Madrid sides in danger of back to back defeats.

Joao Felix equalises to lessen the bother. Thuram meanwhile has got a second and Gladbach are on the way to a win.

Kiith

Real 2 down now. Shocking defence for that goal.
