Oh yes, specially during the games.

Ah well if you go into matchday threads you have only yourself to blame, in there it’s a handful of people, not many,positing shit every eeek and saying half the team is useless and the manager clueless.
That thread indicates nothing at all.

He would have had a tough time falling asleep had we not pulled that out of the bag. A couple of really good chances that he should be putting away.

If a striker plays too much in the midfield he will lose a bit of sharpness in front of the goal in most cases...

time for Julian back in full no 9 job. Rotate for a spot with Halaand. So we will not burn out Halaand and will see the old good killer Julian again.

Decent overall but couple of chances he should be finishing today that almost cost us. Developing a good understanding with Phil. Always impressed with how precise his freekicks are. He rarely hits it over or into the wall and frequently hits the target. I'd have him continue as freekick taker ahead of kdb if both are on the pitch.

This was like opposites day for Alvarez.

I thought his buildup play was much better than it has been, but his finishing left a bit to be desired.

Back to form but he snatched ar chances , not like him usually clinical , but he was all over the Geordie defence like a rash and didnt give them a minutes peace , we've got our pesky Argie back.

Alvarez, Bernardo, and Foden all snatched at chances, almost as if they feared another wouldn’t come, yet the chances kept coming all afternoon.

So true , it really should have been ten , Haaland would have filled his boots today

Last season’s Haaland, yes, but this season’s iteration has often been just as profligate. Need to hope that when he does come back that he is as rejuvenated as de Bruyne appears.

Agree , but he would have walked away with the match ball today.
