I was kinda hoping Tierney would see the field today ngl but that was never gonna happen after Zinny came on. Still, good to see our fringe-r players get minutes.
Forgive my hubris, football gods, but might be nice to rack up some goal differential for tiebreaker situations…
We look so comfortable. No surprise our 2 best games in months have been when all our key players are fit.
…and Man C draw at home to Feyenoord 🤣 Edit - after leading by 3 goals 🤯
Stay humble, eh?
It’s enjoyable
Great game!!! 🔴⚪️
Obviously I know nothing, but Rice looks super gassed. I’m glad he’s getting a break.
Was not expecting this scoreline!
BEEN A WHILE, GABRIELLLLL
I gotta say, Sporting have some nice passing combinations.
Oh that’s BEAUTIFUL
Lol I thought for a second we were going to get another pen
Christ, all of that and Gyokeres still manages to get it on the post.
We really should look into him if price is right
If rumors are true, we inquired but they didn’t want to sell. I doubt they budge in January either.
O . O TROSSARD
LEGGO ETHAN
Great save!
