Season 32 Week 7 processing...

Burnley 3 Banstead 4 Greg Leigh with another scorcher on 83 minutes.

Charlton hopefully parking the bus.....

Genk 9 ( nine ) Gent 0 Moussa Dembele header on 84 minutes, surely seals this for Genk.
Botafogo 5 Santos 5 Jean Chera as the tension ramps up again.
Coritiba 2 Fluminense 4 Giuliano.
Etienne 2 Lyon 3 Foti.
Celtic 3 Hibs 4 Gelson Martins with a shock in the making, will the leaders lose at home ?
Sevilla 5 Santander 0 Moutinho with yet another goal, certainly enjoying himself.

Roundup to follow...

Well a week to forget for Atletico but it was to be expected. Manager is considering whether to match the tactics of the other sides though...
Brilliant from Twente - what a win after last week's victory over Ajax (well I think it was win...)
Independiente clicking without their key man De Paul who may come back into the mix next week
Plymouth from conceding 4 goals a game now seem to have stabilised and a 1-0 and 2-1 loss to City and Watford away with players to come into the side bodes well for the future - get ready for the LSD to start terrorising defences across England and Europe!

Playing SLO/SLA always seems to be a nervy affair! One 'lucky' goal away from a different result. You won't win anything on goal-difference that's for sure, and the attackers don't seem to score the goals either!
I'm already missing the destruction caused by FAP/FAS, but pretty sure I will persevere with SLO/SLA this season...

4 wins out of 4 for my sides, been a while since that happened. Fluminense and Charlton very uncomfortable at the end but that seems to be the way they play. Flu winning away is a pleasing result whilst Charlton at a vastly improving Villa side was always going to be close but delighted to hang on. 

All teams winning? Just need to steady the ships as they seem to be settling in nicely, last thing I need is wholesale changes…..oh wait…..

Interesting Andy. I’m having a similar thought process at Barcelona and not really sure how to judge things ……. especially when I get things like a 5-5 draw with Real last week.

I think the score in the match determines what your team does.
If you're losing or drawing, your team will attack. Otherwise they will hold off and keep possession.
I'd prefer them to stop attacking when they are 2 up, but I think paul thinks that makes the tactic too strong...

Watford, Delighted to win! Even if got a little nervy towards the end! But considering last season Ben went CAD7 and played for a Draw.. Managed to get some more points on the board which is important due to Gary carrying on his sublime form! Fingers crossed can keep side settled and keep the team marching on!

Genk, Gulp.... Going to be a costly Goal Bonus this week ha! Good thing the infrastructure is setup to handle the income for the club. So hoping for more of the same! However, 5 points off the top off the top.. Gotta hope teams above start to drop points so can capitalise! 

Leverkusen, New German power? Looks like the the team have finally started to click... Scored more the one goal in the league for the first team this season! Looks like Hueng-Min has had a positive impact on the team! Also Lewandowski has decided to join the party! Good timing! 

Botafogo, A rollercoaster of a match! Losing.. Drawing.. Losing.. Drawing.. Winning.. Drawing... Losing.. Hard one to take, but the teams in Brazil have certainly stepped up over the last couple of seasons so the recruitment has had to be sharp at Botafogo and hopefully Saul can help the side be more compact in the middle of the Park.
