Sit him down now while his love for the toon is full to the brim. 

 

He now knows he can win things here and we have the opportunity to get champions league again in these final ten games. This guy is the one we build it all around he's our elite.

Feel very reassured about his future here given how happy and proud he looked during the celebrations. 

 

As much as he might be happy here, you couldn't blame him for having nagging doubts about us being a club that just will never win anything. That was put to bed yesterday. It proves there are no limits.

The more I see of his disallowed goal the more I think it should have stood. The side-on angle is deceptive and implies Bruno is stood in front of the keeper, restricting his view. In fact the keeper had a clear view and fumbles it. He was very poor today, I know some were looking at him as potential NUFC target. No thanks.

I'm sure we'd have seen more discussion of it had it been an equalizer for them. As it was, we barely got a replay. I would imagine the flag went up seemingly mistakenly for Isak, not for Bruno who the lino can't have known was in the keeper's eyeline. Unless Isak was clearly offside, it should have automatlcally launched a proper VAR review.

They said on commentary we'd hear from official the decision, and as they was communicating that the game was back underway and they continued talking like they didn't realise the game had restarted.

 

Was worded by Mike Dean that it would be offside because Kelleher had to dive to side of Bruno, and not able to go forward, but what keeper dives forward in that situation?

This 100%, but I think what will make him stay first and foremost is the spirit of camaraderie we have in the squad. He looks genuinely chuffed to be an integral part of this group (as he should). Him, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon, Hall, Tino, Sven is a very solid base to develop from and I imagine it’s just simply a joy to get in to work with this group and under this manager and owners. We are truly united at the moment, and unless he is entirely money driven I doubt he’ll easily find a better place to ply his trade.

I think it should have stood, but I'm also glad it didn't because then we might not have scored his second which was a lovely finish which no one could argue with. It all worked out great in the end.

Totally. On a similar note, given that camaraderie, they must have similar thoughts to us fans re: will they get forcibly broken up if we don't get success soon. Well, we're well and truly on the road to getting it now.

 

He's said before that he doesn't underestimate the significance that his best form has come while he's here - he's seen several other clubs and countries already, so he knows the grass isn't necessarily greener.

The speed of the decision was at odds with the complexity of the situation. The international feed thought that the offside was a wrong call and that the goal would be given. When it wasn't, their reaction was "oh it must have been Guimaraes", something which hadn't occurred to them from watching the action. The VAR decision looked like it was nullifying an incorrect flag for offside on Isak, but finding a different offside on Bruno which may or may have been correct. He was a yard in front of the keeper, so not impeding him, and not actually in his sight when the shot was taken.

 

You can find the whole match with international coverage (US CBS) online. It sounds like the commentator was Jon Champion. When Isak does score, Champion or whoever it is reminds us that Isak also scored against Arsenal and Chelsea in this tournament. Bravo!
