Phillips is a lovely guy. Just wish he was better at football

Was at the match. I thought Nunes showed glimmers of a good player. Doubt Pep has given up on him. How we didn’t score more in the second half I don’t know. Ball was pinging around in the Young Boys six yard box. We still need a point against Leipzig to win the group. I’m sure we’ll get it,

Can't hit a cows arse with a banjo. Even with a massive banjo.

Mostly on target but had many blocked shots. Not saying he’s been great, and it’s been a low bar for certain players coming into this side, but having him, and others, there, has allowed us to rest key players like Rodri, Bernie, and the likes of Erling coming off early.

3-0, while giving other time, I’m all up for that.

Anybody watch on TNT? Thought they were effusive at times, like talking about a real European giant, or was it just me?

Akanji withdrawn from pre game warm up. Stones withdrawn at half time. Two worries. Haaland was on a hattrick so of course he was pulled!

Did Stones show any signs of trouble or was he and Haaland being protected by Pep?

Sounds like Stones is actually hurt and could be out for a little while

Fuck, he’s a big part of our new set-up!

Thanks, mate. Expectation management.

Ps. He is a bit of a sick-note, he could be one of the best without his time out.
