5 goals/2 assists against this 'super' defence in 9 games, though. Not too shabby.

You would hope that they must have done, but which itself is strange, considering how unadventurous Pep generally is, certainly of late. Why do you think that he doesn't give the same latitude to Cherki? Presumably they scouted him as well?

It's true - that was shambolic defence-wide. But as far as RAN was concerned it wasn't a one-off. I highlighted his role because it was typical of his play all season. The ball is like a magnet to him, at the exclusion of anybody he should be watching. There is simply no excuse for being so...

I hesitate to ask - would you place Aberdeen above or below Bournemouth and Brentford? :-/

Because of an earlier conversation, I watched the goal and timed this: Ait-Nouri went 9 seconds without looking behind him, which at today's pace is a lifetime. That image shows where he is when he looks behind him. The next time is not until after the ball has hit the post and Vinicius - who...

That was depressing, reading that :-) Just checked - actually in 2003, so not so bad

Yes, I know that the first goal was the penalty - that's the passage of play I'm talking about. Don't worry - you clearly want to avoid the question, or you have never seen a proper defender. In what way was he possibly displaying any defensive instinct whatsoever?

Ok - but what about that first goal - watch it again and tell me why you disagree? None of what you posted addressed it. I've been 'pointing the finger' at this all season, whether we've won or not.

Tbh, you may as well treat the league phase as just one extended random draw - don't expect to be rewarded for finishing higher than another team, because there are too many variables. It's a cup - you should be prepared to have to beat everybody. PSG finished the league phase in 15th last...

All season I've been slamming Ait-Nouri for being too easily drawn to the ball, like watching an under-10 match - he did it again for the first goal. A proper left back would never have allowed the shot in the first place. No penalty, no red for Bernie. You just can't compete at any serious...

It's been happening for 18 months - if we haven't picked up on it in that time, just one other example last week is hardly likely to be any sort of epiphany, really. I shared your frustration at that moment, though - it really makes you wonder what sort of preparation goes on during the...

20 years ago, you'd have been making a valid point. I thought that the non-interference aspect had been all over the media, since it was introduced - and every time that a decision is being VAR'ed? Which channel have you been watching?

Surprised that so many didn't realise that you meant Vinny K!

Give him to any other coach at a top team and I think he'd score 40 in an average season

Why on earth would City fans want a video of Vinicius Jr on their phones? Embarrassing.

What's the highest percentage ever to win the MOTM thread?

This was genuinely on tonight - I hadn't thought so, but it was. Even now, a second and it would be interesting, the number of chances flying about

Pity Khus wasn't triplets

I wouldn't want the toxic little shite anywhere near our place

We could have scored 4 and you want to change it??
