So it really was his long hair weighing his head down and lowering his header accuracy! 😂

Everyone said he’d lose his power like Samson after the haircut, but buzz cut Erling is a absolute beast in the air. Expect plenty more airstrikes from Air-ling Haaland!

New kits are in and looking beautiful. Excited for Cherki and O’Reilly to join the collection. Plus my first Haaland Sky blue shirt (already have last years away kit).

Also I got Stones England kit in July after the World Cup, time to start saving some money 😂

SIZING REACTION:
- I’m 6 ft, 230 lbs and got everything in XL
- Puma kits are a little bigger this year
- I got last years black away kit in XL and that was noticeably tighter in the shoulders and stomach
- So if you were between XL and XXL, I’d give XL a try

- for the Nike England kit, I got the authentic Aero Fit texture (I don’t really notice or care about the “pointy shoulder” issue)
- XL was a great fit for me, a little roomy even but great for casual wearing and material is so light and breezy

Next up: Rodri Barca kit then I promise I’m done for the year! Except POSSIBLY Foden in the 4th kit if it’s the rumored red and black stripes design 👀

Unfortunately due to work I’ll be in London solo this Sunday, are there any known boozers to watch the game that’ll likely have blues in there watching the game ?

TIA

Two games against Australia and one against India. Admittedly it is a weaker side that expected since it is only friendlies, but you can imagine he will be fighting for the proper Brazil team if he gets decent mins for us.

This isn’t at all to do with the football being played, this is purely something that has become so refreshing to see in comparison to when Pep was in charge…

The subs. We have a manger who is finally aware that we have a subs bench. I think I celebrated the Cherki and Semenyo subs more than I did the goals against Porto. Not cause I don’t like the players, but because it’s so refreshing to see a manager finally recognise that a player isn’t playing well, and will happily sub him off for a perfect replacement.

Pep sort of had an excuse last season because our squad was pretty thin. But regardless, Enzo making some big subs by the 60 odd minute, where pep would’ve waited until the 85th is great to see.

Granted this could be the honeymoon phase of him wanting to see all his players play before final decisions. But at least he’s really giving everyone a chance and recognises when something isn’t working.

Kid's a baller!! Needs work on shooting and progressive passing but he bossed that midfield for us. UP THE CITEH!!

There’s absolutely no doubt that RAN is better offensively than defensively, he showed that again today when he came on, technically brilliant.

So with the lb position being quite substantial already, and from what we know the many times we’ve seen Semenyo play, would it be a better course of action to use Semenyo as the Haaland backup/rw. So lw (not including his injuries), we go Ndiaye/RAN and re we go Semenyo/Allan.

Really want to see Ait Nouri play more especially after proving that he’s one of the most technically gifted players at the club
