I don’t know. Normally I’d agree, especially since Guirassy had three disastrous seasons with Köln a while back, and since this is his first season where he’s scoring like that.

However, having watched him play, I’m actually not sure. He’s not just scoring, it’s also the way he links up with his team and plays in general. It’s like something clicked in him. He’s so much more confident than before, his presence in Stuttgart’s attacking play is amazing. I am not so sure that he drops off this season, unless the entire Stuttgart team drops off hard.

Roma fans, how is Ndicka doing for you?

Very nice finish!!

Wow man, the Gent defenders and the keeper are all really bad at football, wtf??

If Paxten had just looked up, Baum might’ve scored in his debut!

Aberdeen fans, is there any chance I can get one of you to help me get a ticket for the Frankfurt game in Aberdeen?

Nacho!!! Excited that he’s managed to find his place. Very exciting player :)

Wtf is that ref doing? Lucky for us I guess.

Fucking hell…

Thank fuck Aberdeen!

WHAT A STRIKE CHAIBI!!

Aberdeen :(

Get in!!

Trapp with his movember mustache lmao

Is matchthreadder broken again? Anyway, let’s goo!!

So two years in a row, this game has been greatly influenced by dismal officiating. I’d actually argue that this year was worse, since he fucked over both teams. That’s no bias, that’s just gross incompetence.

My takeaways:

• We are really really fucking good.

• Marmoush is in great form.

• RKM who? Thanks for the €95m.

• imo the first penalty was correct. The arm has no business being up there, and even though it’s pretty clear there was no intent, he makes his body broader by putting his arm into an unnatural position. The ball hits his hand. It’s soft, but it’s fine to give a pen.

• the Meyer contact should’ve been a pen. There’s absolutely no excuse for looking at this and not awarding a pen. It would’ve been the 3-0 and likely decided the game. Bummer.

• Our defense had an off day. While they weren’t really bad they were…leaky?

• Dortmund played like shit. Wtf???

• The referee called multiple offsides against Dortmund that were in fact onside when they were through.

• The ref decided that some things were found seemingly at random. For/against both sides.

• The ref should’ve looked at Larsson pulling Schlotterbeck’s shirt in the box. With his “line” (if you can it that) he should’ve awarded a pen. Or not, who knows? Dude was completely intransparent and unpredictable.

• if that wasn’t clear so far, the ref Robert Schröder was a farce. I have never seen an individual fuck up a game this much. Dude needs to quit football.

• Hauge is an okay player, but his decision making is so bad he’s a hindrance.

• Buta was better than Dina Ebimbe today

• Larsson is the real deal

• Tuta’s forward movement is fantastic

• Koch makes his fellow defenders better. What a player.

• Chaïbi is wonderful, as is Skhiri.

• Our finishing needs to improve. We should’ve been up 5-0 at half time, we were that much better.

Karlsruhe, how has Matanovic been for you so far?

That is a wonderful goal wtf?

Glad to see Matanovic has found his footing. Dude deserves it.
