Any reaosn haaland didnt take the pen? Hes off so maybe has a knock

Precaution

 

[domalino]

Haaland off ffs

He was holding his left leg and getting thigh massages during breaks in play.

We have Arsenal on Wednesday and the CL the week after.

Why would we keep him on?

I wouldn't say Bernardo is playing centre back, he is playing what I would describe as the "give the centre backs options" role. He's just acting as an outlet and cover to free up the rest of the defenders and Rodri.

Dias and haaland off. Must be why he didntbtake the pen? Hope dias is ok and just cos of the yellow

 

[Blue_eyes]

Great first half, wonder if that little altercation over the penalty taker was a "bluff" to throw their keeper off, after all, he likes a bit of pre penalty shenanigans himself.

 

[wolviedinho]

Akanji and Alvarez on.

Must be to keep the Viking and Dias for Arsenal

 

[minimalistic]

Injured FFS. Hope he is ok for Wednesday.

 

[colorado blue]

Think Haaland picked up a knock. Might explain why he didn’t take the pen. after the collision with Martinez he had treatment on his thigh

 

[Chris B]

I demand Haaland hat-trick in the second half.

You’ll have to settle for an Alvarez one.
