What a fun game for an Arsenal fan today. Everyone got involved in a 6-0 win. Havertz is starting to find the back of the net too.

It was pretty wild, and that made it a lot of fun.

Again, tactically United were all over the map. They had a strangle-hold on that match and yet over and over they let Galatasaray off the mat. At 2-0...you're in control, lock it down. Nope. 3-1...LOCK IT DOWN. Nope. Leave giant gaps in the midfield and let Gala overrun you.

I enjoyed the discussion about United moving on, they need a win against Bayern and a result one way or the other in the other match.

And then the talking heads were discussing whether Bayern would travel to England for a match that is meaningless to them with a full starting squad.

Good question. I think they will.

I think Bayern travels with a full squad. I can’t find it but I’m sure there’s a quote from Müller about how they relish the opportunity to eliminate big teams

The only caveat to that is injuries. They’ve had a tonne of injuries so depending how those go the next couple games will impact their squad

Right, and they're going to be staring at a long winter-break, so get some guys some minutes. Also, you'd have to think Kane would be up for it.

But if I'm Ten Hag right now...?

Ten Hag: "Ring. Ring. Uh hey...are you still doing nothing?"

DeGea: "Uhhh...new phone...who dis? Click."

Well, that was a fun match to watch. It was all over the place, LASK really put in a good effort and fun performance and their fans are pretty cool as well.

Especially in a competition where you can face them again, there's no room for taking it easy on another big club.

Precisely, theres a chance they could come back around later and punish you, if you get a chance to put them down you have to take it.

Stuttgart completely dominate Dortmund yet again and comfortably beat them 2-0 in the DFB Cup. Bayern, Dortmund and Leipzig have all crashed out now, it's a beautiful thing.

Stuttgart-Leverkusen is a fun game. Easily the two best teams in Germany this year, it's not particularly close. Stuttgart deservedly up 1-0 at half ... they have a 3.35 xG after 45 minutes. Ridiculous.

Both teams dropped points. Can’t be doing that in a title race against Bayern

It is going to be interesting.

Bayern are wounded after the Frankfurt debacle but United are desperate and also wounded after the Bournemouth debacle.

Ten Hag appears to have sucked up his pride and made nice with Varane, but I cant even remember the last time that guy played.

Let's see. Bayern have nothing to lose and United have everything to play for.
