That was not even a cynical foul and it gets a yellow it’s inescapable to conclude that it’s just because it was Messi on the receiving end

The only thing that stopping red cards being a dead cert is the fact that the ref has refrained from Booking people for what would normally be bookable offences

They’ve already started being dirty. Jed Spence looks lively down the left-wing.

Phew

Spence has been excellent

no way that’s a penalty

We really do not want to go to penalties now. Fucking concentrate.

Jude!!!

Time for Tuchel to earn his salary now

Oh my God, have we gotta put up with another half hour or more of this?

That was our chance

Problem is, you don’t fancy us surviving extra time if we manage to limp through normal time with it still 1-1.

98% of this game, from both sides, has been lower reaches of the premiership standard

Scary stuff. We seem shapeless.

Gordon off

Yeah, and the ITV studio pundits were crowing that they looked leggy after 10 minutes!

If we get through tonight, we have been very jammy

Pickford is having one of his nervy games

Excellent

Well, we’ve got to stay hopeful in that we could be three - nil down, but it’s only one

Norway have been clever. They spent the first period pre-hydration seeing what we’ve got - nothing - and now they’re going for us.

This is quite simply ragged.

We’ve totally lost concentration following that hydration break

That was absolutely coming.

We are now looking tired and Norway got a burst of energy after that hydration break.
