could end 5:5 ...

cant watch 2nd half, gl!

We need to sack Paul Clement and get someone else in..

Not saying it's his fault but to have a chance in staying up I think we need a shake up and different approach...

I'd take big sam

2:4 vs gladbach
they scored 3 with their first 3 chances in the first 20 minutes
1x counter
1x pen that the VAR gave to them
1x banger from raffael from 30m

we fought back with 2 goals and had a lot of chances but a few minutes after our 2nd they ended the game with their 4th

How good has thorgan hazard been?

they played bad offensive wise - he did nothing special
they had 5 shots on target with 4 goals

Shame, he needs to learn more from his big bro then

like parking a bus? no thx...

Mallorca will be playing home against 2nd placed Elche tomorrow morning.

Elche is historically a Segunda club, that occasionally plays in Primera (in fact, they were up there just 3 years ago, until they were relegated for violating La Liga's financial fair play rules), but can also drop to the third level when things every now and then. So, like Mallorca, they are upset to be down here.

Their team is pretty strong on paper, and they were supposed to fight for the title with us... but so far, they've been a bit underwhelming, and are 11 points behind us... which has led to the sacking of their manager last weekend. It's not that they are doing terribly, I mean they are 2nd after all... it's just that Mallorca has been amazing, and so far dropped only 4 points.

So this should be a big game. Elche is theoretically the best team we will face this season. I don't know how the change in manager will affect the players... let's hope it doesn't fire them up too much. A victory would be amazing as it would give us a 14 point lead over our strongest opponent.

Fc Metz is still 20th of Ligue 1 with 4 points after 13 games after drawing with Toulouse yersteday. ( Diagne had a red at the 23th minute, furthermore he just came back form a red so.. )
Amiens and Lille are both 18/19 with 12 points and playing today against each other. We will be facing Amiens next week, so I hope they lose today and we'll be able to win against them next week. Otherwise the little hope left of staying in Ligue 1 or at least getting to the play offs will be lost.

RCD Mallorca 2 - 0 Elche

Another easy win

First half was more or less balanced (although we were still the better team over all), but as soon as we pushed a bit harder in the second half, the game was all ours.

We're 14 points ahead of the 2nd placed with 4 games of the first half of the season to go, giving us the honorary (yet meaningless) title of "winter champions". It's obvious that we are miles better than the rest of the teams, and only a crazy turn of events would stop us from finishing the group as 1st placed. The only thing that worries me is the potential relaxation this might bring, making us lose part of our competitive edge by the time the promotion playoffs start. We need to stay focused.
