I have no idea who thought it was a smart idea to buy players coming off serious injuries. The number of players who fully recover or get close is so small.

Time has moved on, and players ideally mature as they get older. If Maresca is no nonsense as is led to believe, Felix will remain a Cup player, provided everyone remains fit. He obviously wasn't alone tonight in this way. Nkunku undoubtedly shown that, despite his superior talent, he will remain Jackson's understudy.

Is VAR on a night off tonight?

If the latter occurs, his advisors' counsel will appear to be dumb. The prospect of squandering your formative years betting on "a mystery club" and hoping they are still interested in two seasons.

I was against the signing as soon as the rumours started to circulate. He's here now, so the manager should be instructing what's required from everyone.

Felix just jogging after the ball is lost. I can't stand see that sort of attitude.

A shambles. So many players to blame for that goal. Our attack won't be doing a thing to help out, so it's hard to see us coming back already.

I have no faith in any of our defensive block to pass the ball around & that's exactly why.

We was named UEFA Men's Player of the Year that year, tbh. The voting system for most of these awards are based on popularity anyway.

Last I read, he's on contract till 2026. Is the player and his entourage really willing to waste away almost two years for whatever may be waiting ahead for him?

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.
