The Korean pundit on my Tele makes more sense than Spitty and I don't even speak the language.

 

[Bald fraud]

Haaland on his heels all the time lately

 

[Aba452]

Listening to it on the app, sounds like a library there!

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Fuck off Haaland. Another abject display.
May as well take him off and save him for the world cup.

Ape man returns - what a twat !

 

[NQCitizen]

Can’t see any early changes from Pep but I wonder if he’ll move Bernie next to Rodri and bring Cherki on for O’Reilly

Bet we fall apart if we do that, the Rodri / Bernie / NOR midfield is what's giving us solidity

 

[madloaf]

It's great to see the panel on sky. Scouse Spitter. professional mercenary, clown arsenal fan, giant **** united fan. Thanks for the representation sky.

 

[SamBlue]

Just hope the dressing room door has been locked, so this lot didn't sneak in for a HT talk.

 

[jamielowndes]

I feel like there's going to be a story about Haaland playing through the winter with an injury planted in the media near the end of the season. Not saying its legit or not, but he's definitely not all there.

 

[wolviedinho]

Really good. Much the better team. Nice balance. Shame we couldn‘t make it count in terms of goals.
Bernardo has been ace.

Bernie like a ballerina with the ball

 

[citymad]

Lee Dixon to be fair has made a good analysis about Semenyu. Really weird tactics from Pep. Doubt any other coach would think about putting a big natural winger in the middle.

 

[Tevez City]

Cherki to replace either Semenyo or Marmoush

 

[PragueBlue]

Decent enough half and we are the better team so far. Not created too much though.

Nunes and Bernardo have been our best players so far. At some stage I'd like to see Gonzalez paired with Rodri though.

Question is whether or not we can keep it up 2nd half (unlike recent games). If we can, then we should win this.

 

[paulchapo]

The dreaded second half coming up....

 

[Ajm1985]

Very very glad I don't listen to comms or the half time twats. What a fucking lineup that is

 

[Zenmanc]

Better off taking Haaland off for that sub.

Semenyo and Marmoush are grafting and still offering more of a threat.

Pep too afraid Erl will pitch a fit

 

[malg]

Ape man returns - what a twat !

Not sure what game he's been watching. Haaland hasn't been that bad.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Joleon on the international feed saying salah is not one to go down and it was a penalty wtf?!?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I don't feel he is - his pressing is still poor

There's more than one way to work hard. Our pressing structure is actually working very well and it involves Bernardo or O'Reilly leading the press so Haaland and others can pick up any loose balls.

He's being asked to fight for a lot of long balls over the top and doing pretty well against two massive centre backs.

 

[Zenmanc]

The dreaded second half coming up....

TBH you don't actually have to watch.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Hopefully we swapped the dippers inhalers for laughing gas at half time.
