Did anyone notice the hoffenheim centre back the ither night (their captain) . He played very well against us. Big, strong and crucially- he was quick! He must have leadership qualities if he's their captain.
Keep an eye on him during the return leg.
VVD alternative?

Did you notice he kept giving the ball away?

{Ed001's Note - and that he was slower than an asthmatic snail at the end of a 15 hour shift.}

I don't have MOTD fever like OP and don't think he's that great at all but he caught up with Salah pretty effortlessly who had a huge head start on him, can't discredit that Ed.

{Ed001's Note - no he did not, watch it again, Salah took a bad touch and never sprinted as it makes it difficult to control a shot if you take it on the sprint. I can discredit it because it simply is not true.}

Caught Salah didn't he on the 1-1?

Just teasing you Ed.

{Ed001's Note - don't you start!}

The real standout player in the match was Demirbay, he absolutely dominated our midfield, pulled the strings for Hoffenheim, put in some fantastic dead ball deliveries and in general looked a cut above our CMs. If we are willing to put £60m up for Keita then I'd be delighted to see us put in £50m for Demirbay.

Do any of the Eds know if there's any interest in him?

My MOTD fever is over Nice's Saint -Maximim or whatever his name was. For 20 he looked strong, direct and able to beat a man.
