Felt like we avoided it because nobody talks about it for the first week. voice-verified

But Joe Hart's analysis of it is really interesting, just how... voice-verified

Mbappe in particular is finding this shot that isn't placed in the top corner, but it comes on the keeper very quickly. voice-verified

And he scored twice through that now. voice-verified

And I just wonder whether he's found a little nick on this ball that he's able to just, I think he's attempting these shots more often. voice-verified

Interesting to see whether that carries on through the tournament. voice-verified

I think it's been Messi's tournament so far though. voice-verified

Well, I think the first thing to say is that Manchester United, Elliot Anderson was absolutely the number one midfield target for them from the autumn onwards, to be honest. voice-verified

And who knows whether he would have preferred United if they were willing to get up to the price, which Nottingham Forest are demanding. voice-verified

I can see why they need that because of the position they're in after the relegation. voice-verified

I think there's been a reluctance to do that on their front. voice-verified

So do they have the discipline to stick to that? voice-verified

Well, you know, the Anderson thing suggests that they are willing to walk away from targets if they feel that they need to. voice-verified
