Matchday 6 (Group B) - Tuesday 5th December, 2017

[Stan]

Bayern vs PSG, 7.45pm
Celtic vs Anderlecht, 7.45pm

Permutations
Bayern have to beat PSG by more than 3 goals to finish top of the group
Both are guaranteed automatic qualification to the next round, while Celtic need to avoid defeat by 3 goals to be sure of a Europa League spot

I should feel confident but I have a feeling it will be like Hapoel all over again where what is meant to be a procession will end up being needlessly stressful. But ultimately I don't see the worst happening.

How can you lose the ball with the first kick off the match 

[Stan]

1-0 Bayern. Looked ridiculously offside. 

[Asura]

Yeah it did but the replay confirmed he was on... it was PSG with the upper hand up until that point

[Stan]

2-0! Bayern halfway there.

Delicious cross from Rodriguez and Tolisso is on the end of it to head in

[Stan]

PSG get one back through Mbappe.

[Stan]

Anderlecht take the lead in Glasgow. Looked to be an own goal by Simunovic. 

[Stan]

2-goal parity restored for Bayern. Tolisso again. 

[Inverted]

Pretty shit performance, but Europa League is secured, and there's a lot of games including a winter break to tweak things before the first knockout game. 

Dembele was a bit disappointing, when the team was struggling he was still taking bold touches and trying flicks that were really too ambitious, rather than getting the team up the pitch. The build-up got a bit better as time went on, which is good as I expected the heads to go when they scored. 

[Viva la FCB+]

Overall very good performance. This team under Carlo is a fading nightmare. Even with a heavily rotated squad they looked hungry. Overall mostly encouraging signs, Kimmich had a rough one and my love child Rudy didnt have it easy either. This was the performance Tolisso in particular needed as hes fallen under some criticism and scrutiny. Coman has continued his outstanding play, Süle had a solid bounce back. Things look good for the time being.
