Pep very chipper-love to see it

 

[Tricky_Trev]

That Pep interview was one of the most enjoyable ever.

 

[DMA's]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen pep that excited in a post match interview Haha enjoyed that

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Pep's really happy, has he been on the wine already?

Getting a into the Manchester way of a party is Pep

 

[remember arthur mann]

Never seen Pep so excited lol

It's a Spanish thing.

 

[SWPISHOME]

That Pep interview was one of the most enjoyable ever.

A very expressive Pep giving significant incite to a player which he wouldn't really normally go to that extent. Really enjoyed it.

 

[dobingsdobber]

Ake much better overall in the 2nd half.

Think we should judge him over a longer period,especially as tonight he was partnered by a bloke who doesn't really want to play for us.

Listening to Pep after match talk Torres just nailed on a start in the CL final

As striker ? Pep will do it if he feels theres a goal to be had.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

82%+ possession and 919 passes, 1089 touches.
Bruce was happy with 17% possession at home, fuck me.
We literally passed them to death.
Just a bit soft at set pieces and our 4th choice centre halfs didn't control the counter as well as Stones and Dias would leading to 2 pens, including g another Walker brainfart.
I didn't think the 2nd was a pen. He stood on Akes leg.

 

[xgorton]

Another record for us 12 consecutive away wins in the League,first time done in the top 4 divisions.

 

[Gobshiight]

For who though

Fantastic performance by him and he deserves a slot but can’t see who for

If De Bruyne can't get fit then I know who I'd put in there

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Listening to Pep after match talk Torres just nailed on a start in the CL final

I’d say there’s a 0% chance of that. Literally none. But what Torres has done is made himself the go-to sub should we find ourselves trailing in the 2nd half.

 

[chaddblue]

Sounds like we're going for Haaland :)

Haaland and torres as strikers for next season, come stop us world!

With Delap getting better and better too

 

[Decepticon]

Pep sounds very excited about Torres :)

After today this kid's potential.. wow!

 

[Burtonblue]

We'd be spunking fuck all if that money goes on an already incredible Haaland.

Absolutely no doubt Haaland is a talent.
Question has to be would Haaland fit our style of play and be worth the vast outlay?
We’re not doing too badly without him after all.
I’m sure we will be trying to sign him but not at the prices being talked about.

 

[paulsimpson]

Ake has hardly played this season. Far too early to make judgements ( people have written off Mahrez and Stones). Jesus is a brilliant squad player. No lack of effort from Raheem but it’s not happening at the moment. He may have peaked but he deserves our respect.

Good point regarding Mahrez and Stones

 

[wattle]

If De Bruyne can't get fit then I know who I'd put in there

Good point

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

For a dead rubber game it was quite entertaining. Nowhere near our best starting 11 but we still played alright. It would have been ace if we'd scored after that period where we kept the ball for over 3.5 minutes.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Outstanding finishing from Ferran.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Newcastle put out their strongest team, we put out our circus/frankenstien 11 and still won, and made history!
Good entertaining game, and it achieved the desired effect - we know who can rise to the occasion, and who is still in the doldrums.
No real downside to tonight. Just confirmation of problems already known.
