Obviously we all expect Ronaldo and Messi to play well but, I thought I'd start a thread for the less heralded players who have put in impressive performances so far.
My two have been Australia's Aaron Mooy (who I also thought was Huddersfield's best player against us and was quite pleased when he was subbed off) and the Icelandic goalkeeper, Halldorsson. He did a great job organizing his defence and made every save he had to.

Do you think with the added presence of VAR, refs have upped their game.e17 wrote:Aside from a few of those mentioned, I’d add the refereeing in general so far
Or are English refs just that bad.
