I like PSG's chances against Liverpool. Think they might be in trouble there.

Ruined what was looking like being a great second half. Terrible.

Dybala strikes back for Roma. Good game.

What a goal for Samu and Porto. Having a great season for such a young raw prospect.

We have the foundations of a very strong team, that really just needs filling out with more quality. I think this can be achieved by bringing in young players with high potential that can contribute, but don't come with the big fees of more proven players. Focusing more on adding the more proven players will not bee affordable if we are to keep key players. To do that we will need to sell one of our key players for big money, which would then likely have to be Isak, Bruno or Gordon. Brighton do not have the quality of established players we already have at the club, and so I don't think it's comparable. It's about adding to the current group in order to give us a better chance to compete, without losing any of them. This will mean some element of risk needs to be taken, and so the scouting will need to be on point.

The transfer approach makes sense if we are to keep our main men in the team. Think we'll see players come in for much more reasonable/lower fees and wages to supplement the current squad. I like the approach as I would like to see most of the current group kept together, and I think with the right additions to beef up the squad we could be right up there competing at a high level.

The best you could hope to get from Hojlund at the minute is getting the ball forward to him quicker, down the channels and in behind. And limiting any balls into him where he has to hold off defenders, as he's just not good at it right now. Ironically, a partnership of Hojlund and Zirkzee would be really interesting I think, as Zirkzee dropping into those spaces to hold up the ball, link play and also thread runners through, is very good. Unfortunately, Amorim's setup and style of play doesn't accommodate any of that sort of approach.

Again, with Amorim, clearly a talented manager. However, you've put him in the worst possible situation by bringing him in at the wrong time against his initial wishes, and then not even getting him more players in January too. Now your fans have started turning on him because the results are so poor, and it's going to be very hard to turn it around if that continues.

I have never tried to justify spending £50 million on Elanga. The ship has already sailed. I thought we should have taken a punt when he left you lot. The issue I have is with the typical direct and quick winger always being written off as not good enough because they are not really good technically, even though they are still very productive. These sorts of players have always been a staple in the Premier League. I can share the fbrefs for other similar wingers that I'd gladly have that don't look anything special, but their production and threat cannot be disputed.

Where have I said I believe Nunez is going to get it right? This is not the discussion that was being had. Nunez has already showed at Benfica what he can do as the main man. He still had his bozo moments but played major minutes week in and week out regardless. He ended up with 26 goals and 4 assists in 28 league games, and 6 goals in 10 games in the Champions League. He didn't look as skittish there because they just kept playing him regardless. That is what I said. The inconsistent playing time and lack of confidence in him is bringing out the worst in him IMO. As for Hojlund being written off completely. I'm pretty sure I haven't said that either. However, I cannot see him turning it around at Man Utd. You've put him in a terrible situation. Hojlund prior to joining you had never been the starting striker for his team in an even half decent league. He has the raw physical attributes and potential, but should not have been thrown straight in at Man Utd. I think that has set him back big time, and he will need to go elsewhere to rebuild his confidence, Man Utd has been terrible for him, as they have been for plenty young players they have failed to nurture.

This Juve team is a joke defensively. No support or protection for the defenders at all.

Really found it weird they've had Veiga at centre back and Kelly at left back in their games together. Makes more sense switching them around.

Yeah, most teams aren't playing this high line against Real and Mbappe. He's making the most of it. No idea why we couldn't have similar joy with Isak on Saturday.

Man City are actually embarrassing. My God Unacceptable how we performed against them at the weekend. Gvardiol

Why on Earth is he playing at right back against Vini Jr.?! Pep can be such a goof ball. Be interesting to see how this Man City move goes. Seemed more of an uncompromising centre back from all the reports I read when we were linked, not one of Peps play everywhere types. Don't think it's going to go well.
