💐 | So many players deserve their flowers after last night…
Two massive saves from Jordan Pickford when the tide could have turned.
Declan Rice booked after a minute and then proceeded to not put another foot wrong all night. Shift.
Anthony Gordon’s relentless running caused them all kinds of issues and won the penalty that was ultimately the difference. That lad who got done by him on the byline, by the way. My word. What’s Spanish for “sent for a hotdog?”
There might be a headache at right-back but no such issues on the left. Young Nico O’Reilly was absolutely unreal again.
Lads off the bench did well too. Went to bed dreaming of THAT Djed Spence tackle. Genuinely believe Dan Burn would head away a breeze block if he had to.
That’s before you get to the headline makers. Two goals in as many minutes for Jude Bellingham. That’s five World Cup goals now, only Lineker and Kane have more. Lad’s only 23 for god’s sake. And Harry Kane, what a man you are. Another assist. Another goal. It’s just what he does. Relentless consistency. Best player in the world, surely? Even if he did sound like Mickey Mouse in his post-match interview.
Thomas Tuchel got his gameplan spot on and his in-game management was brilliant. Proper gaffer.
No doubt we’ll have another week of hearing all the reasons why we apparently can’t win on Saturday. Sod that. There’s something special about this team.
