Roberto clearly appreciated it too, He got a big, long hug at the end.

I hold my hand up and admit I thought City would target him mercilessly tonight and he'd be the weak link.
How wrong I was!

biggest insult i have ever had.....Alright Gareth
More that he was given a job to do on Haaland allowing Colwill to be an out ball when we had it. That’s basically how we scored our first goal

My MOTM. If it's a confidence thing, he had bags of it tonight against the champions of England and looked a Premier League player.
Sorry man, no offence meant.
30 yard thunderbastard excepted of course. But no City player can cope with our space creation from the moment Steele gives it to Colwill
Yeah I was dubious at best on the mod WhatsApp about missing Dunk against Haaland

Quality tonight.
If that's his standard this club is getting silly.

I thought he had a shocker of a 1st half against Newcastle and might not be up to it. Absolute redemption tonight (perhaps could've kept their goal out if I'm being harsh). Gave Haarland a tough time, outjumping him more often than not and sticking really close to him. Well done JPVH.

Super performance from JPVH. Well done him

I had a severe case of the willies when I saw JPvH starting and Dunk on the bench, given his performance at Newcastle. But he proved a lot of doubters wrong - me included - with that performance against the most fearsome striker in the PL. He beat him in the air, he beat him on the ground, he dealt with his physicality all night. I lost count of the times he got a crafty toe in to just nick the ball away, and he did so well to prevent it being a straight 1 on 1 in the first half, when Steele came out and gathered.
And what about RDZ pitching in him in to this of all games, putting his total faith in him against the Champions, the best team in Europe, after he'd had a bit of a 'mare at Newcastle ? That is SUPREME man-management, and will have been a huge boost to the lads confidence. I think he may have come of age tonight, he must have come off the pitch feeling 10ft tall.
I'm just left shaking my head at this season. I've never seen the like.

Great game tonight. He will be dreaming about his performance tonight. Pleased for the lad.

I think it was because we had less of the ball. He's clearly a good defender, just needs some time to improve to the RDZ way of playing out from the back.

Isn’t he out of contract this Summer?
Seanaaa Paul was brilliant tonight. Should have stopped their first though.
Absolutely showed he might be worth a place in our squad next season
From the social media stuff online he seems a well liked and loved member of the squad I hope he does well.

Club has a one year option. But after yesterday it is pretty obvious he needs a longer one. And with much more football being played next season(s) - he will get one.
I thought he was pretty good at Newcastle until the last 15 minutes when he seemed to completely run out of energy. Fantastic last night. Must admit I didn’t think he was up to it at all after his first couple of games but seems like that was wrong.
Strange it hasn’t been sorted already . Maybe the past couple of games were a trial ?
If so , he passed for last night alone.
Even before last night we had a major talent on our hands . He was immense in the championship.
I reckon we will recruit at cb (one of rdz’s old players ) . Hopefully that won’t be at the expense of van hecke’s development.
Agree. I think after Newcastle, a decision May have been made, surely last evening reversed any negative thoughts.
Re recruitment, yes think you may be right, though I do think the club like Turns, whether he is ready is another question.
