    Despite being frustrated, I’ve learnt through the years of “suffering” to find some positives. There were actually many about this week, once I had a think.

    • Away at Topspurts Hotspurts, Atalanta, Man City in the space of a week and playing on Thursday in Italy…we’ve done pretty well.
    • All this with no Ødegaard (or Merino for that matter)
    • We’ve definitely got in the heads of the blue side of Manchester. I def detect that their crowd knows how good we are. We are on their level, no doubt
    • Defended superbly against The Best Team In The World™️ for 55 mins despite the shit interpretation of the laws of the game by the Howard Webb Referee Travelling Roadshow
    • Califiori’s banging debut goal
    • Timber and Califiori at fullback at the same time. Looked great.
    • Trossard only misses the Bolton game, I think

    There’s more, but I’ll leave it there. This is so much better than the dark, dark Mustafi days.

      Does Trossard not miss the PL game? I mean it’s still just Leicester. Ngl I don’t remember how cross-tournament suspensions work.

      Along the thoughts I had this morning too. Tough away game in Italy. Fly back for an away game in Manchester against City about 2 days later. That’s a tough turn around
