I'll be honest and admit I knew little about him before we signed him... but if youd told me at the start of the summer that wed sell Isak for a British record fee but wed replace him with someone of this level, id have probably accepted it. Hes not going to score Isak numbers (maybe he will) but hes gonna take us on a lovely footballing journey that Isak couldn't and we might become a better all around side.

Yeah looked bright. This isnt a criticism of the manager but I do wonder if weve over complicated his game through coaching. Hes an instinctive player, who likes to drive at players and either cross or shoot. Hes been playing within himself, sideways and backwards. He needs to play his game.

Aye i noticed Trippier just looking for him every time he got the ball.

When we signed him, i said hes like the stereotypical foreign player who single handedly destroys England in International tournaments, like Modric or Pirlo or Rivaldo or some shit. Hes a monster. Hes everywhere and nowhere all at the same time.

Its also very rare that the fans are unanimous about a player. Anyone with eyes and a brain can see what we have here. Hes a special, special player. If this guy can add elite level numbers to his goalscoring, he will be a true great of the game.

For once we saw the strength of our squad and Eddie used the 523 at the right time, with the right players. Bringing off Joelinton and Bruno shows he was watching the game.

Nice that weve really turned the screw.

Thats an important moment for Osula as any of his goals. Thats what we need from him.

Actually looks like wing back.

Hall being a sub makes much more sense now hes gone CM.

Weve been much better than them, without being great. Europe is always messy.

And Gabriel's wasnt a handball?

Class pen.

Almost like Burn isnt quick enough for LB.

How the fuck have we landed on our feet by getting this fella.

Sorry, totally wrong, was absolutely Nick.

Mind for all we gave the ball away a bit. We battered them first 20 before the goal.

Both Thiaw and Botman are class. Burn has been average at LB. Thats our weak area no surprise. Get Hall on.

Sometimes looks like he cant control a ball but hes also put 3/4 beaut crosses in and won us a pen and was involved in the first goal. Id be telling him to knock it past their fullback every time and run.

My initial viewing of the first goal was that Woltemade got the flick, however when they showed it again he motions to flick but misses and it catches the toe of the defender. It does look like he flicks it but im convinced he doesn't. It keeps showing that down the pitch angle which isnt the one we need. Needs the side on one.

Need to stay calm because these cunts are capable of 2 goals.

Good lad ant.

Theyve given the goal to Woltemade?

These cunts cant cope. Resorting to fouls.

Weve got a quality 11 like. actually sometimes have to pinch myself.
