The one thing I’ve taken from this game is that we’ve got goals everywhere again
Big earl better fucking shape up and he knows it judging by his face at the end.

How did kusanov play?

Fully committed but looks like a mistake /booking in him - true to form clattered someone in their half with no real danger and got a yellow - subbed off soon after

 

[phargrave]

Lots to look forward to next season I reckon.

Now you’ve jinxed it!

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

And he will still get 30+ again this season

I want 50

Cherki is insane which I knew he was always gonna be. Linked up great with Air Nouri and made the goal with Bobb. Then linked up again Haaland for that beautiful weak foot goal.

Nunes is incredibly underrated because he give us a lot of balance in attack. We end up having a right hand side presence which is so important cuz we’re so left side heavy.

Haaland knew he costed us the game cuz he slapped the ground at the final whistle. He was really poor in front of goal but there’s still lots to be hopeful about.

If we can just get a RB we’d be set. To think Marmoush, Savio, Doku didn’t play.

Bernardo x Gundo turned back the years and looked unplayable. Bernardo should’ve had 2 assists. Gundo with 2 chips.

Nico G x Haaland were underwhelming

Ait Nouri is great in defending not sure why people kept saying he can’t defend.

Hopefulllh Echemessi and Gvardiol aren’t injured they did well. Especially Echeverri

Am I right in saying a draw against Juve will be enough to win the group as our goal difference is 8-0 and theirs is 9-1?

Anyone going back to bed is a lightweight....a coffee then off to work....someone has to drive the early bus. Bobb & Cherki finishes really good. Haaland unselfish which is good but I want him to be a lot more aggressive and use his weight...but not foul players just put himself about.

That would be me if I wasn’t on the pat and mick

 

[MCFCFanTX]

New players are good. Laughable competition but still. Nouri and Reijnders are going to be nailed on starters soon. Cherki has so much ability. Great FK goal by Eche. Hopefully the injury isn't bad. Hopefully Josko is fine too.

Khaldoon needs to have a talk with that emirati club. They were kicking too much in the first half.

They've scored more so no

Now you’ve jinxed it!

Not really, I might be talking about the new stand ;)

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Gunda is unbelievable,love him to bits

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Haaland was shit he’s got his 10 year 400 k a week deal

Hopefully it's 50k guaranteed and 350k if he scores 4 goals a month.

 

[BluestBlue]

How did kusanov play?

Really good. Won all his aerial duels, good ball playing. Still aggressive. Pace is very helpful in transitions. Solid 7/10.

Are you a liverpudlian?

 

[Nelinho]

Good run out. Unfortunate Phil didn’t make it 7 to allow us to finish top with a draw against Juve but I’ll take it.

Yeap, the team gave everything for it, we wasted a lot of energy. Pep will rotate again, a lot of relatively fresh legs will appear vs the Italians, hopefully we will be OK. If not, doesn't matter, we will fight against Franco's team. Come on City!

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Hopefully it's 50k guaranteed and 350k if he scores 4 goals a month.

I’ll settle for 5 goals a month

 

[Bay Area Blue 93]

Haaland was shit he’s got his 10 year 400 k a week deal

I actually think his holdup play has improved and he had a couple of nice dribbles as well. His shooting however was indeed a bit amiss.

 

[trueblue1972]

Really good. Won all his aerial duels, good ball playing. Still aggressive. Pace is very helpful in transitions. Solid 7/10.

I felt his passing was better today also

 

[Eccles Blue]

Bar Liverpool, the best squad, and possibly team in the PL.

Errrrrrr. MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD BAR NONE!!!!

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Pep incoming on Channel 5.
