[Strike 7,596]

Only the 3rd teenager to score in his first 3 CL games - Other two are Mbappe and Haaland

This is without palmer btw 

In all seriousness if you look at our goal ratio this season his absence was never really felt. His position is occupied by Estevao and Neto and both did great.

 Post match interview of Estavao with Chelsea fan Alex Aljoe.

True but he does turn up in the big games which is a sign of a great footballer. His obviously not a Pele or Maradonna but who is ? Maybe Messi only.

Confidence will be high v the North London Mongrels

On last night's showing Arsenal are significantly better than Barcelona.

Also, that embrace between James and Enzo when the former was subbed off, was great to see. The pair of them have shown great character in the past few matchweeks.

Between them and Caicedo, there seems to be a spine of a team taking shape.

They bought well and they have enough depth to go for the PL title this season

Fully expecting them to beat us by 2+ goals in the next PL match 

[Special Juan 28,293]

Estevao has fans off their seats, not seen the like since Hazard

We are watching a superstar

The entire world knew Estevao is special before we even got him tho.

That is not true. Otherwise it would have been a fight. 

Like I been saying your just a hater on the board and coach.

Most likely a 0-0 after all the build up...

Outstanding performance. That’s what I want to see from our club, passion executed with skill and precision. Every single player was superb.

Love Cucurella.. what a player.

But this also taught me a lesson, sometimes you need to give some time and patience to player. 

Because even I was wanting to get rid of him at the beginning. 

So I was wrong at that and since then I don't judge players that rash, we need to give them time as shown by cucu. 

Hence I'm not complaining about Gittens and garnacho right now as many are doing because I learn my lesson from cucu.

Barcelona wanted him before Yamal showed up and stopped going for him because it made no sense having both and PSG as Romano confirmed said they weren't willing to pay the money Palmeiras wanted, don't remember exactly but I think Bayern wanted him as well but probably didn't want to pay the asking price as well.

We were the only ones willing to pay what they wanted. I mean fair plays for putting the money on the table but it's not like they discovered him, I'd say the ones they really discovered and no one knew or believed in them were Santos, Guiu, Cucurella and with others that look interesting prospects like Satpaev, Essugo, Penders, Anselmino but remains to be seen how they do.

Well if that's true then it's so dumb then, why not have two good players?

It's like saying no, don't buy him because you have Palmer.... And it's insane that Palmer has been out and we are doing well. Imagine Palmer and Estevao, wow insane. 

I'm still not sold on Santos. Yes he did good against burnley but I rather wait for the end of the season to have a better grasp of him.

Right now I will change him to Elliot from Forest. 

But let's see how he does by the end of the season. 

Guiu so so. Might need more time, a loan or sell with a buy back clause. 

The others, not enough data to give information.

Mainly because they play the same position and same age group coupled with the financial restrains they switched priorities and got Roque.

Guiu is a better player than Delap in my opinion just needs to get more chances to break in the first team. Hope the rumours we want to sell him and invest more time in Satpaev is not true. Need to develop both.
