@LondonLUFC: “The translator sitting there subtly smiling. He’s actually so cute.”

@TingPaiTour: “SAVAGE!!”

@lewhartley89: “I am actually looking forward to seeing Dallas back at RB although would rather it under different circumstances.”

@GazzaThomas2: “Ayling will do a job at CB and Kalvin could also drop back which is why starting Rodrigo is clever. He can add the creativity in the final third that you would miss from Ayling not getting forward as much.”

@SikiaPehelwan: “Love the careless swag!”

@themadkvng: “Pep please learn from the best.”
