I thought Southgate was a shoo-in all things considered.

I'm okay for players other than attackers being recognised, but if we're giving out individual prizes based on "undefeated" records, we may as well do away with it. Cannavaro and Modric earned it after their performances at the World Cups. Palmer was ranked 24th 😄 and bias aside, is more deserving of this. Madrid is going to be Madrid. Petulant behaviour is not unusual for them or other renowned Spanish teams. They have CWC duty to prepare for, so that's a timely excuse.

It always appears to be the same. Hopefully, they can take their frustration out on Leicester before our encountering. Having said that, they've missed 22 big chances already this season (just watch Dalot's miss yesterday if you haven't already). No manager can work miracles.

Deservedly? I definitely wouldn't go that far. If rumours are true about tonight's winner, it would have come down to the success at the Euros. I'm still of the mindset that unless it's a WC year, international triumphs shouldn't have a massive bearing.

Sterling hasn't been 😉

Semi-automated offsides can't come soon enough.

Huge win combined with other results. Pleased we didn't drop more points at home.

Where was that for Burns' earlier challenge? As I stand previously, this gets on my nerves.

Mudryk should be tucking that away. A little bit more composure to take it with his right, and the game could be over.

How isn't that a red? I can't stand the inconsistency. Wrong is wrong regardless of the onfield decision.

We've been on the backfoot since scoring and gotten lucky until now. VAR to the rescue, tho?

Unreal from Palmer. Great goal!

Colwill is very lucky. His positioning is always an issue.

We have started off bright

I'm pleased to see a bit of a shake up front with Neto getting a start over Sancho. Guiu is the most worrying one. No natural CF's, and he's still disregarded. The less said about KDH, the better.

They have been a mess for most of the season. Outplayed by Stuggart & Dortmund (to name a few) but were bailed out. Barcelona are humiliating them.

If Ipswich get relegated, we'll be after Delap.

Every time this topic comes up, all I can think about is that we once had Thibo & Cech vying for a starting spot. Our current selection of GK's are multiple levels below that standard.

And there's the inevitable goal for the opposing side. I really hope we don't try to coast, 3 goal lead or not.

Nkunku wasn't having any of it. He has been very quiet. Enzo has the perfect chance to field a few more fringe players.

Felix to seal his hattrick?

Starting Muller and fielding Guerreiro at RB provided Barcelona with a significant boost, which they capitalised on in less than a minute. I'm still left scratching my head as to how Kompany got a side relegated yet ended up getting that position. So bizarre.

Your man is at it again for Lille, @Vesper Five saves so far. They are on course to do the double over Madrid sides. 3-1 now

Bring Mbappe back home. Ha ha!

You're spot on with Vini. Racism is probably the only thing that would force him to leave RM, as he clearly loves the club. I'd be very surprised to see Haaland end up at Barca, all things considered. Mbappe has mentioned his fondness for the EPL, so a swap deal could potentially become a possibility unless City finally get what they deserve.
