    Haaland though! You can’t defend against that

    They'd better not copy our 7- 0!

    Wonder how Trafford does today, he was great in league one. Big step up for him though. Certainly against his old club!

    He's very young. A lot of being a good goalie is mental, baptism of fire!

    Haaland can have 4 touches of the ball in a game and somehow score 5 goals

    Brave playing a keeper who's not played above division 3 level against the PL champions.

    Brilliant, yes. Ruthless, yes. Like watching paint dry, yes. If they play perfect football then I'd rather watch it flawed.

    That finish from Haaland though.. I take your point re watching paint dry at times, especially when they have so much possession, but that adds to their ruthlessness.

    Totally agree boring football so slow even Haaland having a go at someone at half time whistle. He is not getting the service now. Off to watch FC United of Manchester v Worksop Tomorrow and can guarantee it will not been like this. Interesting to see our our young keeper on loan Adam Hayton copes in a league match with a fair size crowd. He has been really impressive in the friendlies.

    Mebbes in England, but playing against Europe's best is where you really see their quality. Last season's Champions League Quarters, Semis and Final were tactically brilliant and hugely entertaining. Whatever you think about how they were assembled, they are phenomenal to watch.

    I agree it can be very tedious at times. But when they switch it on, they blow teams away. That Bayern result and beating Madrid 4-0, they were absolutely sensational. I don't know of any teams who can look so mundane one second and then 10 seconds later they've scored with about 56 passes

    I think that Burnley may struggle more than Sheffield Utd. They are very poor

    PL refs playing by different rules to EFL refs. No bookings compared to the 800 that an EFL ref would have dished out :D
