Cherki gets the nod after a decent game midweek.

Decent line up

Good to see Rodri on the bench

We should have had a third really despite that utter rag cnut reffing.

Loved the resounding chorus of "Fuck off Taylor" just before half time.

[KunDB]

Haaland is on fire, unstoppable.

Love the edge in this game, great prep for Liverpool.

Need one or two more goals, this is a very tough opponent.

[KunDB]

Best performance of the season so far. We are building nicely and hopefully we can continue to improve.

Cherki I love. Haaland is a precious gem. Nico is outstanding (both).

[gavin]

An enjoyable game. Two sides contributed to the game. But the best side won. That man Haaland is a beast. Cherki looks incredibly positive, two assists and even before that you could see him trying to put Haaland through at every opportunity. About time, too many of our players don't seem to realise that we have a great striker to play through to. Good on O'Reilly too though, he could have passed to Erling but had the bottle to take it himself.

[Stephen Paul]

Great performance 👏

[Vickki]

A good game, we should have scored more. We can't rely on Haaland to do it all. Others need to step up and score more regularly.

[Stephen Paul]

The red media now saying we are a one man team

Boiling piss
