Spot on. Also to add sometimes a disappointment like this can be a catalyst for the whole clubThread is absolutely mad.
We were clearly the better side.
Should have slit their throats in the first leg but missed several chances.
We handled them superbly for 90 minutes. The Pep masterclass eulogising was being readied. The pundits were wanking over a City v Dippers showpiece.
Then it just went completely pear in an absolutely mental last 2 minutes. You cannot blame Pep or anyone in particular for that. Shit happens and it can be a very cruel **** when it does.
We are literally on the verge. Get some actual strikers in, man the fuck up, and go and win the **** next time.
I thought the referee was similar to us last night..
Was very good for the 1st 89 minutes but shite for the rest.
Succinctly put.. Looool :-)Chin up, we win our last 4 games, chelsea win the FA cup & Real win the Chumps League & its not been a bad season.
He can't be blamed for playing in a team where he doesn't have that many shots to save. Of the saves he does make, his PL save ratio is just under 73% which makes him 6th in the PL and only a % or two behind those above him with the exception of Jose Sa who has shit loads of saving practice and is a great keeper (but not as good with his feet or distribution). The reality is that when Ederson does have shots to save, because the team are so good at protecting him, it is likely those shots are from the best players in the best teams. It's a shame there aren't stats for goalkeepers distribution/passing because that's where he stands head and shoulders above other keepers. All in all, he is a keeper made for our team. He's also hardly put a foot wrong in the Champions League, yes he has made a few errors but any goalkeeper does and when they do it can be costly, that's the name of the game.What's laughable is people like yourself who think if a keeper can ping a ball with his feet that he's a world beater.
We might aswell play Kev or Mahrez or any other outfield player in goals, they can also ping a pass but would be equally as shit with their hands.
When Ederson came, he was a breath of fresh air, but he's regressed massively, he saves fuck all, and above all else that's what I want my keeper to do, passing a ball is a bonus.
For overall keeping I wouldn't put him in the top half of the Premier league, he's protected by the team who concede very few chances, which with him on net is a good job.
Top 3 in the world, you need to go and have a kip and clear your head.
Haha yet he was one our best player over the past month and back to his best. Stop looking for a scapegoat. We’re all hurting badly but there’s no need for ridiculous comments.De Bruyne played like a shithouse last night. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Pep would have preferred to see Ward-Prowse out there instead.
De Bruyne isn't the game changer he should be. We need fresh legs.
Interesting Stat.
This one makes me feel sick. In an ironic way it is so fucking City of old
We're not absolutely awful at it. United still changing managers every 5 minutes and still harping on about needing the next Vidic and Ferdinand or Scholes. Even going back for Ronaldo to try and solve their problems. That is awful succession planning.
Arsenal to this day still long for a Sol Campbell or a Patrick Vieira.
Win all our league games and we get 95pts. 5 less than the 100pt season. Without a striker. We have one identified and that problem is solved. We brought in Rodri and he's stepped up and certainly isn't the reason we lose games in the CL.
We had an issue at CB when Kompany left and then moved to resolve it the Dias and Stones partnership was excellent last season.
David Silva? I give you Bernardo. Yaya Toure? De Bruyne's not bad.
We've done incredibly well to freshen the team and replace players and aside from this season I'd say we've probably kept on improving.
He was shite from the start. How he never booked Casemiro is an absolute joke 2 blatant yellows for fouls then a clear dive, Sterling wins the ball off him he goes down get Sterling booked.
He was absolutely shit.
Obviously the hoards of lurking bin dippers bringing their cookies with them. I’d personally like to say a big fuck off to all of them.Very poor timing on this advert isn't helping me get over the game when I logged on here..
