Sevilla (H) | Post Match Thread

If only Alvarez was good enough for us…

Sometimes the performance threads make the match-day threads look calm and reasoned.

He won't play a 17 year old twice in a week.

Yeah the odds are against it, but you never know

I’ve just been waiting for Alvarez moment. Tonight he showed what a player he is. No doubt he should start in the forward line with Foden and Haaland.

And Rico, damn what a player. He really surprised me.

We are bound to get PSG in the last sixteen

Without de bruyne there was a severe lack of forward passing.

 

[Dazzle84]

Rico Lewis has played himself into proper contention

 

[Burtonblue]

Alvarez was outstanding tonight
Ran his socks off and never gave up hope
A proper Argentine striker in the Tevez mould
What a brilliant alternative to Haaland
We are truly blessed
Brilliant to see our youngsters acquitting themselves so well

We are bound to get PSG in the last sixteen

Did they not top their group

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Did they not top their group

No!

Well done lads, that must've been some half time bollocking by Pep though. Great that Rico and Alvarez scored, start both on Saturday please Pep

I think it was the change in tactics-full backs staying high and wide and a double pivot. Created much more space and balance to our play.
