    Great performance from every starter except Alaba and Nacho. Such a shame we didn’t get the clean sheet and were robbed of 2 penaltys. Loved the Vini Calma celebration and the Rodrygo SIU

    They should name the Ballon D’Or the Camavinga D’Or, he’s the defensive goat and I’m not going to hear any arguments to the country

    Looks like this supposed “tough and difficult” team are a bunch of scared little lambs without their racist ultras in the stands.

    Guys, please don’t forget to take a moment to laugh at Mamardashvili.

    Not so tough without his racist fans enabling his behaviour, is he?

    Happy to see several players slowly getting back to form again. Happy about everything except our defense. Nacho and Alaba struggled a lot. And too bad the international break’s coming up too.

    Camavinga is just getting going. He’s already so damn good but just wait till he gets more experience under his boots. Vini was laser focused today and it showed. I’m excited to see what the squad can do if they can put together more performances like these with Jude in the squad.

    Man I so much hoped for a Vini masterclass, I said in the prematch that it would be a world-class player revenge. And he’s done it

    Also, I’ve been saying for a month Rodrygo just needs to be trusted, that he’ll get his form back and adapt to the new system

    I believe that now, when Vini and Rodrygo start to understand how to coordinate, one of them to play wide, the other in the box, we can be very unpredictable
