No way was it a foul, IMO. Ake needs to compete way harder than he did, and as Carragher pointed out, Rodri and Gvaridol need to be dropping deeper. It's what defenders work on every pre-match warmup.It's a foul for me, but I am biased.......
Not for me but he’s affecting play and does it brush off him so the attacker is offside..It's a foul for me, but I am biased.......
He needs to curb his enthusiasm!Antonio from West Ham. He looke like he's in disguise after being issued with a Fatwa!
Dias and Ake showing zero aggression against Toney , the goal conceded would be embarrassing at junior school level.Thank feck for that late goal. Ridiculous goal to concede by us, Toney again bullying our centre backs, just like the game at the Etihad last season.
Erling really needs to score one off these one on ones for his confidence.
Some sloppy stuff at the back from us at times. Gvardiol and Ake having too much of the ball up front so far?
Need to kick on 2nd half and win this.
He's Flekken brilliantThought it was a positive performance first half, weak goal to concede but we would have been ready to put the kids on now if not for a wonder display from an obscure Dutch goalkeeper.
Their goal was typical of Sunday League. Big hoof down the middle, centre backs too high. Comical. I did think Toney obstructed Ake though. Backing in is a foul.
I think we do. Lacking in composure just now.GET THAT FLAMING BALL IN THE NET CITY.
COME ON, YOU’RE THE BEST TEAM INTGE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!!!
We need John Boy. ;-) :-)
We are playing far far better than they are. And we are playing well. They just happened to score on a freak play and their goalie is ( hopefully was) having a blinder.I’m not watching as I don’t have Sky so I’m going off what I read on here. I hope we’re playing better than you seem to be implying. :-)
What? I've been praising him time and time again since last season.Ah, you’re the **** that always slags him on the performance thread.
We’re playing very well EB. Don’t worry 1-3 victory coming up :)))I’m not watching as I don’t have Sky so I’m going off what I read on here. I hope we’re playing better than you seem to be implying. :-)
I'm saying he's quietly continuing the excellent form he's had for the last 2-3 months, despite all the media and build-up focusing on Haaland and De Bruyne... Not really that complicated.
IMO, that pass has no right going past Ake. CB has to head it away, kick it away, foul. Whatever, but it can't go past him. No way anybody expected it to go past Ake the way it did.Should've tracked maupay
Nah could do with keeping him on. He could do with the match fitness. He hasn't been a liabilityThey are marking him out of the game, I'd take him off and put Doku on.
You have better eyesight than I have.Not for me but he’s affecting play and does it brush off him so the attacker is offside..
