Grealish looked pissed off

Yeah, he was deservedly taken off after 62 minutes because he wasn't performing, in an easy game, where he should be shining, the "sulk" was even worse.

I still don't think he fully understands what Pep expects.

I' m say nowt until ive seen Akanji and Gomez play when were under the cosh against the top teams

Swerved the ultras and back in city centre bar…. Not a big turnout and very quiet tonight

Obviously getting too expensive nowadays to attend every champs league awayday. How many blues travelled?

Interesting. I thought he was right up there with our best performers in the first half.

Must say that's the worse away end I've ever been in

 

[Impeccable One]

Wish we’d got a couple of goals more, just in case that third place Europa league spot comes down to goal difference.

Think Akanji is much quicker than Matip ever was
Tbf as a free from Germany iirc he was a brilliant signing for them
What impressed me most is that Akanji wasn’t at all shy as some can be on their debut for a new team, he was demanding the ball and was very progressive in his passing
We have had some great recent signings from Germany - Vinny, Nigel, Gundo, KDB and a certain striker (not seen enough of Ortega yet) - and surprised we don’t buy from there more often
Gomez also really grew into it after a slow start. As his confidence grows he will be a great asset, his natural left side crossing will be a real weapon

I hope you’re right about Gomez and players should always given a season to Integrate into Pep’s squad but I thought his positioning whilst defending definitely needs to be worked on. However he showed some great touches so fingers crossed he can do a job, only young so promise there.

And Fernando and Rekik…
Send Telles and Janujizz back to the odd lot while we’re at it

Great result. Only 23 pages so far. Defeat tonight and we’d be on 150 by now
