Weird game, uncharacteristically poor performance from us, really right up until the subs. Then we got going, with the pressing and tenacity from Alvarez (what a little whirlwind this lad is!), Foden and Silva changing the game for us. Happy with the three points, top of the group.

Wow... watching that really got to me, in a way I could not foresee. Christ I love that man and will for the rest of my life remember his character, his playing and what he did and meant for our club. Forever.

The Swedish King.

I've grown up in a monarchy, I've guarded my King and his family on multiple occasions, I have spent time with the King alone several times, because it was part of my duties... but I have absolutely no sympathy for the idea of any monarchy, royals should get NO respect or special...

Well, that goes to show that without VVD and Allison, they are indeed vulnerable. But with them two on the pitch they would have kept a clean sheet and likely scored 10.

Very surprised about this. Something must have been going on behind the scenes.

No need to apologize, bud! It's worth repeating.

Why didn't he START Alvarez? Clearly our best wide and deep attacker.

Not a good start to this season from the otherwise reliable and consistent Kyle. He seems to have lost some pace, which is the one feature that makes him exceptional. Denying Haaland our first goal yesterday was one of the most monumental brain farts I have ever witnessed, right up there with...

Walker stood out for sure, but not in a good way. Seeing him choose to deny us a clear first goal was (and still is) infuriating.

My pick as well. Alvarez with Haaland is a privilege to watch, and must be a nightmare to be up against.

I'm equating the current market value of them two, that's all. And those are not my numbers, so it's not bollocks. As for qualities, they both have aspects of their game in which they better the other one, and they do not play identical roles in a team so it would be hard to judge them side by...

Well my post was directed toward a hypothetical scenario, and not in any way describing what I hope/wish for. My understanding is that Barca value De jong at around 80mil, correct? And I would think that's a good price for Bernie as he doesn't want to stay considering our policy of not forcing...

Touché. :)

Today's' game can't exactly have helped Barcelona's attempts of getting him at a good price. Still, I'd accept a straight swap, Bernardo for De jong, just because Bernie rather leave us than stay.

He already has 13 hat tricks... and he's 22 years old. That's gotta be quite decent.

I hadn't seen this before... - what an absolutely disrespectful thing to say (and the manner of it) from that old failed fuckwit.

An amazing player, that's unquestionable, and I don't see how he would be anything other than perfect for us and for Pep.

That I don't agree with. Me being Swedish, I hope you're right and I wrong. But I suspect I might have watched him a bit more than the average football fan, and I don't see him as ever becoming better than let's say Richarlison for example. I would not give him the epithet Top drawer.

Silva, due to 1 assist and 1 goal.
