    3-0. Odegaard. Trossard makes a smart run between the CBs and he puts in a cross that takes a deflection into Odegaard's path, who slots it home from close range.

    FT. 3-0.

    Pretty standard win and played a lot better after we got the 2nd goal, but there's a lot we need to improve on when it comes to our incisiveness, verticality and how we circulate the ball. However, 3 goals and a clean sheet, I won't grumble too much.

    We're currently 3rd in the CL league table on 16 points with our final fixture of the league phase to Girona away.
    Only Liverpool, Barcelona (the two teams ahead of us) and Atalanta have a better GD than us (+12).
    We're in a very commanding position to finish in the top-8, assuming Girona don't absolutely wallop us.

    We've only conceded 2 goals so far in the CL campaign (both from set-plays ironically), so defensively, that's impressive.

    Onto Wolves away now...

    Wolves are in a mess right now. Their captain wants out and so does Cunha, and it seems to have affected the mentality and performance of the club

    We should absolutely be going there and winning that game

    Will be interesting to see if Cunha plays. If he doesn't then I think that says he's off this Jan.

    Zagreb fans were mental last night. All dressed the same to avoid being identified. Non-stop chanting which didn't change when they conceded, didn't change when they attacked, didn't change when they had corners. Literally didn't seem to actually care about football. Main interest was throwing water bottles at Dec when he took corners. Knobs.

    Yeah disgraceful behaviour. Heard that there were around 1000 in the home sections too.

    How are they getting tickets and why isn't security stopping them from getting in, or chucking them out when they've been identified.

    Didn't see any where I was (high up clock end). So many empty seats and tickets available on exchange last night before box office closed. Just don't understand why the price of the tickets isn't dropped further and further on ticket exchange the closer to kick-off you get. If they were a fiver, you'd pack the stadium out. Wouldn't cost the club anything to do it and those who are listing them for sale clearly aren't going to go anyway so they either get nothing, or they get a fiver.
