Loving Gvardiol’s Fonz tribute

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I thought the big lump couldn't head a ball :-)

It's great that he got that leap just right. If he starts getting that right regularly, believe it, he can increase his goal tally by half as much again. Especially last season, his timing was just slightly off. It has been the one and only weakness in his game. He can be an absolute monster.
(His pressing can be a bit half-hearted, but I honestly don't care about that).

As for Nico O'R, this lad is going to be some player for us.

 

[Blue and true]

Airling.

Running out of superlatives. Best striker in the world. And Foden is starting play like Foden. Thoroughly enjoyable first half.

 

[wattle]

A happy wetter or a bed clapper?

Mmmm not sure which one I fancy. Probably a bed clapper in the week and a happy wetter at the weekend

 

[Revolver]

I think we are playing really well against a team who always do well against English opposition.

Slightly feeling of unease when they attack means I would strengthen the midfield. But what do I know compared to Pep.

 

[Sky Blue]

Always been a **** as a commentator, decent player in his day though

Praising us quite a lot. Not been bad for Glenda.

 

[paulchapo]

That's one of the best headed goals I've seen in a long time.

Yes, a throwback to Mark Hately, Ron and Wyn Davies etcetera.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Playing well. Any **** moaning ?

It's the match day thread.

Of course some are.

 

[BluestBlue]

John Stones in a wheelchair is better than Nunes.

Between Haaland and Álvarez so far this season. A shame it isn’t with them both still being with us.

You guys know Kane has 4 goals in 2 games in the CL and 10 goals in FIVE league games he’s also got 3 assists.

Mbappe has 5 in 2 CL games 8 goals in 7 league games

 

[geoff hammond]

Well on top but Monaco are dangerous exposing lack of pace we have at the back. But hopefully we’ll be too stupor them . 4-2

 

[eyalluvitt]

That's one of the best headed goals I've seen in a long time.

He Nialled it

 

[Gray]

What is it with Spanish referees

Ole.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

The guy's a cheat code

[Stoned Rose]

Haaland is ruthless as fuck when in the mood.

That aside, good control, typical Pep CL away type performance that half.

No drop off now. Get the points and fuck off.

 

[SamBlue]

another player - mostly of London clubs - from that "golden age of talent" which never qualified for an international finals competition ( see Charlie George, Gerry Francis and others for confirmation )

Pretty decent punditry, even sees our ball schlepping as a secret weapon. :) Better than anything TNT can offer, as a former baller appreciates segments of our game.

 

[Gabriel]

Some very good young talent in Ligue 1, even if a bit raw. Be quite happy if we keep shopping there rather than overpaying in England.

 

[jollylescott]

Overall we've played very well. Haaland is in superb form, and Phil looks dangerous. We've hit the cross bar, and both Reijnders and O'Reilly have had chances.

Speaking of O'Reilly he's also in great form. I notice the only two games we've lost he didn't start. He's a lucky charm for us.

 

[denTTony]

Decent first half, deserve to be in front, hopefully get an early 3rd then get rodri and maybe Foden off

 

[TinFoilHat]

He Nialled it

Erling disco pants are the best...

 

[Mancity1980]

another player - mostly of London clubs - from that "golden age of talent" which never qualified for an international finals competition ( see Charlie George, Gerry Francis and others for confirmation )

He was in the 1982 World Cup squad aged 24.
