Yeah id have thought switch Kev on the right if he wanted to get Alvarez on. As there was absolutely fuck all being created down that. At least he’d have whipped some crosses in and stretched them more
Disagree with that one mate. His first touch was superb. Didn’t have the pace Erling but if you took Erling’s pace away you’d be looking at a pretty average player technically.
Yeah Bernado has done so well for us but you watch him these days get the ball 40 yards from goal one on one with someone and you just know he’ll do a few jinks before knocking it sideways whilst the other team then getting everyone back in position. As poor as KDB was yesterday i’d have stuck...
I kind of disagree but take your point. Was the only way they could win and they did it well. Still didn’t create as much or really match us at anything other than digging in. Reminds me of when we were shit and dug in the odd time to beat a top side. People would say they deserved it today etc...
Correct. He can certainly improve a lot but he’s never going to turn into a great technical player. He’s levels off Kane as actual footballer. Never mind putting him in the same sentence as some of the best players ever
The other team lost a freak game against Spurs. Last year we were pretty lucky in the final.This year we couldn’t break down the rags or Real Madrid at home despite having plenty of control. I’m not trying to knock this side they’ve done incredibly well and have the records to prove it. I just...
Yeah can’t say in the first half when we were shite i was sat thinking get Jack on. It was just get Doku and Akanj on. Would have maybe put him on on the last 10 minutes centrally for a defender when it was shit or bust time and we had so much of the ball around their box. Not something Pep has...
We’re definitely not as good to watch. I don’t think we’re as good a side either. Yes this team won a treble but as we know cup comps can just come down to a bit of luck on the day or a bad decision. The league shows how good a side is consistently over a season and that side did something that...
Couldn’t disagree more. Utd defended like fuck all first half too. The major differences 2nd half was we had a player capable of stretching them and beating the fullback and also had a centre back quick enough to beat them whenever they hoofed it forwards.
Did we even create a chance first...
Fucking hell. I suggest you rewatch the 2nd half sober if you don’t think he made a big difference. They ended up having to put 2 and even 3 on him. We had 3/4 great chances 2nd half after none in the first. The bit of brilliance by Foden to put a Silva like pass through for Alvarez happened 2nd...
Agree the Akanji one was mental against a side that just play on the counter with pace. He got it wrong not starting Doku too but the Akanji one is what’s still pissing me off because if that game was to win the league we all know he’d have started.
Kova did nothing wrong really but the line up...
We probably were overall but that’s not saying much. They had a game plan and it worked a treat. We were shite but had more chances, shots, corners, possession etc. We all knew that would happen before the game though because they’re fucking shite.
Well, as he’s the only one that’s great at going past people what did you expect? The amount of space he created for others against a completely parked bus was chalk and cheese compared to the first half.
We had a right sided attacker who doesn’t have any pace at all to attack his man unless...
Showed them far too much respect today. Foden drifting in is a waste of time without a wide man to help create space. No Akanji smacked of give everyone a game. All they have is pace on the break. Anyone seriously think he’d have started that back line for the league?
