The ideal game and a great atmosphere as well.

Anyone seen the disallowed goal?

Not had chance to look for it yet...was it correctly disallowed?

Yeah Stones was a good yard off.

He is on course now to beat a record that stands since 1946 3 hattricks in 3 games. A record held by Liverpool player Jack Balmer

Who cares? I've been excited about him arriving since we signed him. I followed him when I first heard we were interested, and many in S. America think he's better than Aguero, or will be. Haaland is just the icing on the cake.

They clearly dont remember sergio !

It is not really the same other than having five attackers. The 1960s formation was pretty rigid. The current one is much more mobile and flexible. Summerbee could come inside sometimes (and play number 9) but Coleman was an out and out left winger. Colin Bell was the one who had the freedom to roam a bit like Gundo or KDB last night. They used to joke that Young (who was brilliant technically) never moved far from his inside left position. Franny Lee was a world-class striker. Very aggressive, fast, and with great movement. But that 1968 team was pretty weak defensively compared to the current crop.

George “The Colossus” Heslop says: Weak defence? Not me mate. It was Mick Doyle’s fault; always wandering off to kick someone or pretending to be a striker.

Alvarez must start every game.

Apologies to Grealish, Mahrez and anyone else.

It was like watching a young Sergio.

Both goals were that of an elite striker.

So much intensity, great in the press, fantastic link man, quick.

Very excited.

If anyone gets a chance, go look at the replays of the second Alvarez goal. He had no more than a balls space to hit it in too, bending it around the defender, whilst running across the box, and he did. Really, really, superb strike.

Don’t want to talk bad about Sterling, but he’s never scoring that goal.

If only Alvarez got his head on one then it would have been two ‘perfect’ hat tricks in the same game. Not sure that has ever been done

Loved Phil little dink for the first. Boulders leap after the head tennis was ridiculous.
Cancelo with a thunderbastard and Alvarez second was a great hit.
So much to admire.

It was if the ball came off Haaland's head but I thought he may have missed it which may have put Stones onside when the ball was played in. They didn't show it properly on TV.
