Also - I’ve literally not seen us score a penalty that sure since Balotelli and peak Yaya.

Fuck me, maybe we’ve finally got someone who’s not totally shit at it.

Pity that’s the last penalty we’ll get all season.

Personally think cancelo been really good with the ball. Petulance aside he has been vital to our build up

 

[doobyedoobye]

Powerful performance so far..

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Spam have 10 behind the ball in their own half. Of course it’s a slow game!

and every time they get the ball with one of our lads on their back they take a dive, unbelievably boring and negative tactics. Stop start is what they want so that we can't maintain any tempo.

But it's 1-0 though, so fuck'em!

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Fucking love Gundogan.

 

[oldius]

Pep once again has a set up in a really different formation with the ball. The guy never fails to amaze me

Gundogan's comments about him, this week, reveal how unique he is.

Seemed to look like he enjoyed the process even.

This is why there should be a dislike button!

Can I point you to the ignore button instead?

If / when we go 2 up, would like to see JWE on as well as Kalvin, then around 60, Alvarez on for Grealish to RW Foden to the LW

 

[wolviedinho]

Like to see Kev pop balls into Haaland early but West Ham have decided to sit back and not give us any space to run into

 

[Keeper!]

Jack doesn’t belong in the front three. For me he has always been a midfielder. I know he has to bench both Bernardo and Gundogan to get minutes but he doesn’t offer much on the wings. He doesn’t have the speed or the dribbling skills to beat fullbacks.

Totally agree with this , a CM all day for me, the only issue is stamina

 

[Goater=Legend]

Grealish hasnt been that bad but theres times when hes had the ball to run at Coufal and decided to play it back which is frustrating. We have someone in the box now

 

[Bluescholar]

Wait and see when both are on the pitch to find out who takes them.

Is this tongue in cheek?

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Yet he’s been twice as good as Kev.
Not many calling him out.

Kev has been off the pace since the end of last season.

 

[kun]

The Stablo flourescent yellow shirt with black marker stripes is actually growing on me

Same. I didn’t hate it originally but I’m growing to really quite like it.

Quite a few have actually. Its just that jack has had the ball in very promising positions and done nothing.

 

[heslops barnet]

So has Mahrez lost his penalty duties :p

Thank fuck…..

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

My stream just pointed out a glorious opportunity to play Haaland in and he played the safe pass instead. He seems to take way less risks for us than he does for England, for example.

Almost as if he’s playing in a different team, with different players, in a different competition, being given different instructions by a different manager.

Have you borrowed your mate’s username?

 

[Summerbuzz]

Another winner.

SMILE!

It's infectious.

I agreed with one HT comment. I do think Haaland is expecting a faster ball in so some of his movement looks too early…..very minor issue to fix tho.
