100%, could have won, might have lost but the intensity and guts were back. Need to play like this against all teams really.

Leicester level

Hammers level with a scruffy goal from Soucek

Freely admit I don't think I realized just how good Mbeumo actually is, he's had a great start to the season.

What a goal by Mbeumo in the first minute

Got plenty of time for him actually, generally pretty complimentary of us, hope he does well

Me dad will be there so he's my proxy, think he got a ST

Barnes is something else like

Not seen us play worse than that since the very early days under EH. A defeat I can handle just fine, not playing well happens, but showing a lack of desire and in a couple of cases just seemingly not caring at all...that's alarming like. Once you get a couple not playing for the gaffer, that's a slippery slope. Can't understand why he won't start Tonali either, maddening. Apart from the results in general, just about everything else has felt off since the summer. It's a kind of joyless vibe.

Always happens

You can see why he flashed in the championship with his speed but he's never once been particularly convincing as a PL winger and I still can't believe Spuds dropped 50m on him.

Outrageous confidence from Endrick. Not sure Carlo would have been happy if that hadn't gone in mind

Guler on for Rodrygo, ridiculous the level of player Madrid can just casually bring on

Great header by Undav, think they deserve it overall

Mbappe tap in and then he's clean through and picks the wrong option...again

It's filtered down to every level of coaching. Lower league, even the women's game is filled with it.

Weird one. High quality individuals everywhere. Not sure Mbappe was the right choice for them. I think he's low on the tactical intelligence scale. Can't and doesn't want to think about anything, just run fast and dribble. Often picks the wrong option or pass. Think they're a bit wonky defensively as well.

Mbappe is such a strange player. So much raw speed and dribbling ability, needs a free role. If you put him in a position where he needs to think, he almost always fucks it up or picks the wrong option or just runs into players.

I loathe Carvajal, what a creep

Rudiger cons a pen. Bernabeu worse than Anfield in the 80s Edit - well done ref, ruled out

Hate when a player from a "big" team demand a FK and the ref gives it after initially not, Rodrygo this time, great player but it's pathetic man

Stuttgart hit the bar, great game, end to end

How the fuck Stuttgart haven't scored at least 2 at Madrid, I don't know. Absolutely all over them.

Good to see Tripps and EH walking off sharing a laugh and a joke, let's not report on positive stuff like that though, much more fun to dribble on about civil wars etc

I hope that is true, it was all over social media yesterday that he had passed. Good news!
