[Tourist since 1971]

MOTM tough call. Really happy for Nunes.
Haaland goal will be replayed for decades. His second was a thing of footballing beauty.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Too many daft teams in this new format. I’ve seen better Sunday league teams.

Love watching Savinho and thought Mcatee looked slick in his cameo.

Good to see Nunes shape himself. Needs to start doing it against professional football teams now.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Brilliant, City performance. That goal will be the talk for some time.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Job done.

Another record taken off the rags as a bonus point.

I like that new tactic from the centre halves just waiting for them to push up

I actually thought of that, too. If teams want to (understandably) put 11 behind the ball, then just hold it and try and make them press us. I feel away from home could potentially be even more effective, as their fans might get on their backs if they don't get forward.

Is it ok if I preferred his 2nd one?!? I just love me a team goal like that.

 

[manimanc]

Chuffed for Nunes. Savinho is going to be great for us.
Great win.
Roll on Saturday.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

It was an odd game. Very dull 1st half after the early goal. 2nd half was better...

Sparta is a good team. I'm happy with the performance.

 

[Macca77macca]

Jonny Stones. Makes this team BLUE.

I wanted a goal fest thanks lads :)

This woman on TNT doing my nut in. Nunes looked a bit confused by her too.

 

[SWPISHOME]

That was a really good display, Absolutely delighted for Nunes I thought he was really good tonight along with making a good cameo against Wolves.

Good night all round.

Nunes is like shit off a shovel, no idea he was that quick.

Erling getting another permanent champions league highlight.

I've only heard the radio commentary and looks forward to seeing it later.

 

[WyongBlue]

Good result for us, Nunes played well and good to see O'Reilly make his debut tonight...........

Erling getting another pregnant champions league highlight.

I've only heard the radio commentary and looks forward to seeing it later.

1st, 2nd and 4th goals are all things of beauty.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Low block, counter threat and still come up with 5 goals.

The "Akanji" as I'll call it, of just standing perfectly still until they push out, will work really well away from home.

No way a player can just stand still with the ball and the opposition not start to press, without the ground going mad.

 

[SamBlue]

I like that new tactic from the centre halves just waiting for them to push up

Pep to Akanji:"Play like it's 2064 and you are 69". And Ruben you are already there, just stick to it."

But Rico is continuing to be Pep's player of the season, embodying the essence of Pep's game.

Not even bothering to comment on Erling's goal.

Pragues manager is Rob Beckett

It was good. If Hoddle doesn’t calm down he will be back in hospital.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Nunes needs to start at the weekend, brilliant performance, brings energy and work rate.

Behold, a player discernibly improving in their second season under Pep…
