bit nervous about this match tonight

Stephen Paul · August 07, 2020, 19:29:49

fuck off Mcmanamanamamamam

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 20:08:43

I've actually got up for this one!

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 20:11:08

Nice!

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 20:12:29

Sterling's 100 goal for us is a gift

Stephen Paul · August 07, 2020, 20:20:38

Memories of Neville feeding the Goat came flooding back

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 20:27:57

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 20:34:15

Well that's annoying. You could see them starting to test us - trying to load up with the extra man going down the right. Paid off.

Hopefully we'll wake up now. Not been positive enough since our goal,

Stephen Paul · August 07, 2020, 20:44:49

we look shaky at the back again

gavin · August 07, 2020, 20:51:33

We've put them under a lot of pressure at the back with our pressing and it paid off big time. We need to continue it in the second half as they look likely to gift us again. Yes, we look shaky at the back but at least these have the players who would worry any defence really. Keep the ball better is the key here now and make it count when we get another chance. Could be a tight, nervous second half this.

who hit the long ball to Neville

Stephen Paul · August 07, 2020, 21:01:16

felix the fucker now starting to give a few dodgy decisions against us

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 21:01:50

Not sure I like this ref. Very quick to award free kicks to Real for the slightest contact. The one awarded against Sterling was a joke... then he misses the blatant shirt tug on KdB?

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 21:06:13

Okay, we need to be more alert and positive. Can't sit back against quality opposition like this.

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 21:15:05

How wasteful are we?

Rowley Birkin QC · August 07, 2020, 21:30:03

Great anticipation from Jesus!

Stephen Paul · August 07, 2020, 21:55:12

felix the fucker was alright second half

gavin · August 07, 2020, 22:04:04

A great win against a top side that has just won La Liga. Jesus really proved his worth and his hard work was justly rewarded. Top play for both goals, showing his real asset of putting defenders under pressure.

KunDB · August 07, 2020, 22:14:23

Fantastic Portugal here we come.

Hesperus · August 07, 2020, 22:32:55

Excellent game from us tonight. Totally deserved the win, second half we were by far the better team.

Hope Peps sticks with that defence for the next game.

Lyon wonâ€™t be easy. Need to,stay focused for that one.

Swiss · August 07, 2020, 22:38:25

Was a really good game for us, bit more incisive, but two wins against one of the best sides in the world is amazing.

Swiss · August 08, 2020, 00:18:37

Thought Walker played well too

Stephen Paul · August 08, 2020, 08:21:46

Great night

The smell of boiling piss is rife in Merseyside

Stephen Paul · August 09, 2020, 06:41:09

If Ramos had of played there would have been a few had tackles going in on the City players

Madrid lacked toughness
