If we'd have finished our chances it would have looked a lot more comfortable.
Decent performance but a little sloppy in front of goal and a couple of defensive errors made it seem closer than it was.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Good win that

Much needed confidence boost for Haaland ahead of the derby

 

[knuckles]

That'll do, good win, doesn't look like we had any injuries, could have had 5 by half time but great to see Earling scoring, still can't believe Alvarez goal disallowed, how a handball was given, looked 2nd phase and certainly didn't directly lead to a goal scoring chance, hey ho 3-1 well done Blues!

I thought Nunes made too many mistakes

He gave the ball away too much but he did show some genuine quality as well. Mixed bag so far.

3 wins out of 3 and top of the group. Good performance on the whole. Bit wasteful in front of goal and defence looks a bit too easy to get at presently, so plenty of work to be done still.

 

[The perfect fumble]

I didn't know Morrissey managed Young Boys!

 

[willipp]

Some good, some not so good. Good result and Haaland hopefully takes a bit of that missing confidence back after two goals. Second one was a cracker.

 

[Phoenix900000]

That Grealish lad looks alright..

Thought he was excellent

MOTM for me

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Meh but job done.

I’ll tell you now, Nunes is a mistake.

I feel about him like I felt about Mahrez signing - didn't think we needed him. Good old FFS proved me wrong tho so just trust the process

 

[herrock]

Big upgrade when Bernie and Alvarez came on.

 

[axlgod]

Lovely stuff, not my words Michael, the words of Shakin’ Stevens.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

That will do. Hoddle must be one of the worst co commentators around. Soft penalty perhaps but a penalty. Shut up.
Job done. Some rested. And a thunder-bastard from Thor. Jacks back. Rico immense for such a young lad. Bring on Sunday

 

[discopop]

Professional and should have had a good six or seven, think I might be hearing that verbose stadium announcer in my sleep.

On we go to smash the filth

 

[tregyblue61]

ooohhh I say,

Young Boys Wankd orf

Rather splendid, what?

Haa Haa

All you had to do was Ask

 

[BringBackSwales]

I thought Nunes made too many mistakes

I thought he was very good tonight

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Dodgy pitch ,we rested players and we win away from home in europe 3-1 , we are going to take some stopping this season and we havent reached anywhere near our peak , a fully fit and fresh KDB returning will be a massive boost.

Hoddle was keener on the possible pen for them (the hand ball on Jack), he really is a ****

If we win every game in the UCL 3-1 I fancy our chances of winning this again.

If we win every game 3-1 we’ll definitely win it

I thought it was a clear penalty. Trod on Rodri''s foot. Free kick anywhere else on the pitch and so rightly given as a pen.

 

[chesterbells]

Meh but job done.

It had crossed my mind too.

On the plus side, Alvarez just has to (and I’m sure will) start on Sunday; he’s on fire.
Rico, their goal aside, was brilliant. As others have said, maybe it’s a safer bet playing him in midfield, but overall it worked out tonight in terms of resting Kyle.
Jack looked much better too.
