If Maguire played this game instead of Tuanzebe we would have conceded 4.
And we all know it. This wasnt a game for a defender with no pace.
Tuanzebe what a performance. We do have a pretty good CB after all eh.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Have we? Maybe? Breathe.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Fantastic performance. Having a pacy centre back as a partner is bound to help Maguire too. Still, he's a relatively inexperienced centre back in a somewhat unsettled back line so it'd be best to temper expectations.

Rather exciting to see how Telles and Tuanzebe fare and hopefully they can force their ways into the first team. The defense could definitely use some sprucing up.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Immense. First game in 10 months and he handles Mbappe and Neymar, good on the lad.

 

[KM]

Genuinely unbelievable performance. Plays his first match in UCL. Comes back after ten months of injury. Absolutely bosses Mbappe and Neymar. Ridiculous.

 

[Fortitude]

Please stay fit, kid.

Exactly what we need back there.

 

[mu4c_20le]

He actually looked really good last season against Arsenal, until he made a mistake and gifted them two points. The potential is still there, if he can overcome the injuries.

 

[El-Manos]

Colossal.

 

[RedIan]

Is this why we didnt buy a centre half? Looks very very good.

 

[Utd heap]

Quite frankly ridiculous performance,

How do you do that

 

[bosnian_red]

Absolutely brilliant. The way he tossed Mbappe aside like 3 times was hilarious. Dominant performance. What a change to have that recovery pace at the back to be able to push up a bit too. Please stay fit.

Was brilliant. Never panicked. Great pace. Let's hope he stays injury free and gets a few games this season.

 

[Chillosophy]

Brilliant type of CB to partner Lindelof or Maguire.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Impressive from him. I know everyone rates him and has done for a while but nice to see him holding his own in the CL after such a long time out.

 

[Giggsyking]

waw

 

[Ekeke]

He actually looked really good last season against Arsenal, until he made a mistake and gifted them two points. The potential is still there, if he can overcome the injuries.

I agree with this. I was very impressed with him covering at left back and with his passes despite being right footed on that side. And then he made that error leading to the goal which ruined the performance

 

[Adamsk7]

Please stay fit. That side when AWB is playing like he did tonight is pretty fantastic defensively.

 

[Wayne's World]

He's been out for 10 months and put in a performance like this.

Van Dijk type performance tonight and long may it continue and he stays fit

 

[Samid]

What a performance. Please stay fit champ.

 

[kundalini]

Wow. Astonishing performance. Superb against Mbappe.

 

[Superunknown]

Huuuuuuuge performance.

Wrap him up in bubblewrap. QUICK!

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

I have been critical off him, but fair play to a really good performance. Think 3 man defense suits him too.

 

[bdecuc]

So many times you'd see Tuanzebe one on one up against a forward in the youths and reserves and you'd know the poor striker would come out second best. Pace, timing, composure. It was almost impossible to get past him. And you wondered whether he'd be able to do it against the best in the world. Proved tonight he can.

 

[GledTheRed]

Phhwoooaarrr

 

[MoskvaRed]

Hugely impressed with him tonight. Just need to get him out on the pitch more often.

 

[yamo123x]

Stay fit Axel

 

[admrf]

I did not watch him during his Villa spell but his composure and strength were so good in this game - saw these glimples as well before and hopefully he can get more minutes as well, also curious how he can play in 2 central defenders tactic.

 

[sullydnl]

Please stay fit.

 

[sillwuka]

His composure is fantastic, seem like a bit of a Rolls Royce of a defender

 

[11101]

Very good performance, repeatedly going 1v1 on pace like that was perfect for him. Now needs to stay fit and string a few of those games together.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Wow. Incredible. Stupendous. From out of nowhere.

 

[Jeppers7]

I have been critical off him, but fair play to a really good performance. Think 3 man defense suits him too.

Why ? The kids barely played

 

[Annihilate Now!]

That tackle in the first half on Mbappe(?) was hilariously nonchalant

He looked like the coolest fecker on the planet.

 

[Jeppers7]

What. A. Player

 

[dbs235]

Hope he keeps his place after that.

 

[RedTiger]

I have been critical off him, but fair play to a really good performance. Think 3 man defense suits him too.

Don't know why you were critical bro, he hasn't played in a year!

 

[Sweet Square]

Unreal performance.

Potentially another gem from our academy.

 

[Kopral Jono]

Godlike.

 

[ashneel]

Tuanzebe and Koulibali would be quite extraordinary together..
