its the trick everybody uses now vs Manchester city, get a player to go down, stop the game in its tracks players get drinks gels fuels it drives me crazy

Just play on and stick the ball in their net while some soft twat is rolling around pretending to be injured. That would stop it.

His opportunity to help his old club was last May, this result will make not an iota of a difference.

He needs to save his own neck. Managers arent petty like fans. Its their career on the line always

We are lucky he barely has a shot to save most games

Yeah, it’s just pure luck…

% o

% of shots saved by Eddy is very low i imagine. Just like the kid who goes in school for his ten min stint but is dying to get back out on pitch. Ive always said i dont think his ability to chip a ball to a full back beats being a keeper. His 1 v 1 save shocked me today ,

He’s about average in the PL on shot stopping, despite us conceding mostly “big chances” only.

He does more than fine and there’s nobody better on this planet to play in our goal than Ederson, however much you newbies try to change the rhetoric.

Said this at the time. He took the wrong winger off.

In a tight fought game, you shouldn't take Bernardo off.

That said, Pep's got more than enough credit in the bank.

I would have liked to see Gundo off with Bernie moved into midfield after we scored. Alvarez on down the right.

Thats why he's picked..so he can 're cycle' problem lies if we get pick pocketed on CM...every chance a shot = then goal......i think with a more competitive league we do need a goalie at times

I didn’t see or listen to the game coz of work, but going off the stats they didn’t deserve a point..

They did we were shite

 

[Shaffer92]

one thing I will say is Phil Foden is wasted out wide, the lad need to get on the ball and drive this team on in games like today, so would have played Foden in the gundogan role today

Amazing recovery from their keeper too wasn’t it?
They way he suddenly collapsed after Mings had a word in his shell-like, looked really serious, a stretcher job, but his recovery (after a few minutes) was truly miraculous.

Never seen a resurrection like that since Jesus moved to the Arse :)

If we had drawn against the great Liverpool sides of the past at home, we would have cheered too

if we had kept the score down to three or four goals i was pleased :)
