Community shield Post match thread

Dippers on social media now claiming Jesus winning penalty was illegal , something to do with his run up , they are starting a petition and an all night candlelit vigil outside the town hall.

He does a little stuttering run without actually stopping.

But on this occasion he did a little stop, I noticed it at the time, so we cheated them out of a trophy! Which makes it even sweeter.
 
Stones can definitely play better,i agree.Once Laporte is back i honestly believe we will see the beginning of a very successful and long term partnership.
It's gonna be a massive season for Stones. We've three senior CB's & if we don't recruit a Kompany replacement, we need Stones to be back to his best.

Don't get me wrong, Stones didn't do a lot wrong today, but if you judge him by the player we all know is in there, this isn't the commanding John Stones we first bought.

He needs the security of knowing it's him or no one, so he needs to get back to his best because we need him. It's looking like this season may well be a defining one for him. I reckon he'll rise to the challenge.
 
Don’t know if anyone’s posted about it,what was all the bollocks with pep and Jurgen kock arguing then that other cock henderson waffling at pep,did it have something to do with De Bruyne cramping up and us wanting game stopped or ball put out ..

Think a lot is down to game fitness. In the mind, not just the legs. It's the same for everyone.

Victoria Wood and Robbie Fowlers love child.
 
Because he's a mard arse. Henderson that is.
Something to do with kicking a ball out when someone was injured I think. Henderson was moaning that we didn’t when Raz and Kyle broke away and should have scored when Origi was down so why should they when KDB was down . Have to say that Origi lay motionless for a minute then when play was stopped underwent a remarkable recovery. Henderson is a twat though and had no right to be in our technical area.
 
I don’t think he was all that, I just disagree with your synopsis as to the reasons why.

Like I said, his first game in this country, he was always likely to look a little jaded. The difference in pace between La Liga and the PL is remarkable and imo that is all we could see today. A man trying to come to terms with that.

I think the comparison to Javi Garcia, who was persistently shit, after one game is somewhat unfair.

Each to their own blue.

Hahahahaha you on the wind up mate hahaha,will say one thing is the rule for keepers staying on their line for pens been brought in to England,as if we had any of our pens saved then I would be expecting them to be retaken as Allison was off his line for all of them bar one I think,not that it mattered..

Yes , the all night vigil has been postponed
 
Enjoyed the day out but where to start. I mentioned before the game that they had fans in our end in shirts and scarfs but were allowed in. When they scored a few finally got thrown out. But why were they allowed into our end in the first place.

I am sorry but I thought they were thugs today and got away with it because of Atkinson. Some really nasty tackles on the two Silvas and Leroy.

I think we got a taste today of possible life without Leroy and it was a little concerning. Once Leroy had gone off we just did not have that raw pace to trouble them too much. They were delighted when he went off. We must try to keep him.

Bravo was again superb and will be very unlucky to lose his place next week. Cometh the hour... Stonesy you were brilliant! If only he can keep up that level of performance. He was purring like a rolls Royce at the back. Ota was also fantastic and hope he stays. Walker also stepped up today. Thought Rodders was excellent and loved his little post match dance and celebration.

Leroy would have caused them real problems today shame he couldn’t continue.

Raz could have put this game to bed second half, but for some reason started to second guess himself again.

Based on today’s game I think Phil’s time has come to be a regular starter.

The second half we were missing a leader and someone like Vinny to calm it all down. We missed Eric today.

Loved Peps attitude after the yellow card he just carried on with the same passion.

Very subdued celebrations but understandable really given the occasion.

Some Liverpool fans were looking for trouble both before and after the game, and they made the rags post game get away look quite slow!

Lots of positives, things to work on, but it still does not get old watching us win at Wembley and also beating the dippers in any competition.

Sterling and Sane had TAA for breakfast in 1st half. He's not a full back. However, we tired a lot 2nd half and were really hanging on. Providing Sane's injury isn't so bad, that's the only worry. We were way off the pace from the hour mark which should be a be a short term concern with the Premier League days away. Can we catch up in 1 week?
