bloody enjoyed that last night. Second half was like the city we’ve been waiting for the last 3 months.

That first guy gives a pretty good commentary actually. Looks like Ferdinand with hair though, the poor bastard.

And his comment "The best referee in the world!" What! Taylor? He's probably not the best ref if he's the only occupant of a telephone box!

edersons biggest fan since he came, but i would happily see him dropped for a prem game and ortega go in. Ederson gets better every season at passing the ball, that gem to an offside mahrez was class. But his position to stop shots is way out, one of the arsenal players headers that went wide, you couldnt even see ederson in the same clip !

I do love Eddy for sticking with it. He clearly is a frustrated CM, doesn't seem to like being shoved in nets....He is quite athletic and does save some long range efforts but 1 v 1 forget it... and a lot of shots from 18 yards and slightly closer - forget it...his positioning is pretty poor for a prem standard GK. I think he adds character the squad mind you and that helps...and is used as a way to draw the first press = very useful. As the lad in nets though... always said - possibly our weakest link

Just been watching the highlights again and noticed how for the second goal when Bernardo wins the ball back Haaland looks across and takes a step back to put himself onside. Brilliant awareness. KDB kept running and would have been off if the ball had gone to him.

Thought we got away with one, Bernard struggling at LB, was giving fouls away like it was going out of fashion.

I think against an elite team we would have been behind chasing it and is why in my opinion we will never win the CL under Pep. That and the keeper unfortunately.

However a big plus was Diaz return with Gundo, Ake and Rodri having great games along with Pep reverting to a back 4.

I was also pleased to see Phillips come on with Rodri towards the end, good to see, shut up shop.

It was nice of Tony to allow Kev to do a victory lap near the end. Nice touch.

I think the FA will realise that exposing a player for such a lengthy walk with around the ground may endanger player and that rule will be scrapped

 

[RayCTID]

I wouldn't bet on the FA in changing that rule.

A guilty pleasure....

Hehehe, after each goal they're very defeatist about the league too, not just the game.
Highlight for me is after the JG goal, "it's all over, the calf-monster has finished us..."

Got away with one is a bit of an overreach. Arsenal had one attempt on goal and it was on a PK...let's not get carried away...

Wow got away with 1 really? We could have easily had 4 or 5 Arsenal had a penalty that was pretty much it.
