Good result with a team full of 2nd choices and youths. Certainly a few have given a very good account of themselves.

That wasn't too shabby. Well done and a good result with a scrarch team.
Bonus that we got to rest a few and the kids did themselves no harm with that performance.

A comfy 6-0 with a whole team changed. What is going on? Loved that performance.
Tracking back is overrated.

Very positive. Very.
Standout for me, among many, is the manager knowing when to make changes. He’s changed the game every time so far. Something Pep was shit at.

Agree and we are also seeing some very good attacking patterns develop. Maresca is a big fan of playing a ball through the lines to the feet, doing a quick layoff, then repeat. Saw that pattern for Cherki's goal yesterday and it's damn exciting to watch

Hasn;rt progressed over the last few years. Against Norwich he should have stood out as being one of the more experienced players but he didn't
