Fuck u Mahrez!

Nowt wrong with Jesus’s finishing - lovely touch that.

Very nonchalant finish.

You wouldn’t think he’d not scored for a while the way he took it.

 

[pudge]

Mahrez you greedy c|unt.

Don't mind the shot, it was the needless 360° turn beforehand

 

[King Jay]

Typical Mahrez.

And he managed to pull off two Newcastle defenders before he slotted it in according to pointy man?

Love Gabby’s work rate and movement.
Just needs to start banging the goals in regularly and he’ll be amazing.

Attempting a half-volley on the turn with your weaker foot instead of playing your teammate in is a total dick move

Your young teammate who is desperate for goals and confidence and would have had a tap in.

That's the problem with Mahrez, he's very good but he's not a team player. Same with the penalty row when he took the ball of Jesus who was supposed to be the taker.

Damn it. When I was playing, all we got was a half time orange.

No.

It’s FFS Mahrez!

:)

atta boy Gabby. See how Foden took the pass and laid it off to David right away,( instead of stopping and holding on to it like Sterling always does and tries to beat a player for a shot.) keeping them off balance for Silva can find an open striker before they could reset and clog the middle.
then right away Mahrez turns and takes a wild shot instead of passing a sitter for Gabby, selfish again.

I don’t like to swear.

I agree.

As Sergio leaves I think we may see a new attacking approach to help him.

 

[cjn]

Foden is legitimately one of our best players. Love to see it.

From Sam Lee: "Guardiola shouts to Jesus after that Mahrez effort, telling him to shout for it and let Mahrez know he's there."

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Christ you wouldn’t want Foden running at you, sublime balance and timing on the ball

 

[WallyA]

Even though Foden shot, somebody should have made a run across to tap it in.

 

[ScottSinclair]

In Foden I think we have finally got one those English media darlings that is constantly in the referees ear, like United, Chelsea and the scousers always had and it we have really needed it

cancelo is pretty skilled at kicking the football

You can tell he is far more comfortable on the ball than Walker, making him very good at coming inside. Its the defensive side that Walker has the edge in.

Lol, imagine leading 1-0 after 15 minutes, being head and shoulders above the opponent and still finding time to insult their own players.
