Fucking hell mate we won !!Akanji really is the £16m defender he is.
Doesn't get touch tight, Pep screaming at him repeatedly to do so.
Can't win shit in the air and positionally weak.
The drop off is huge which is a shame, because he looked composed on the ball when he first arrived.
Walker has defo peaked and, dare I say it, losing a bit of pace.
De Bruyne continues to frustrate and be careless, while Mahrez played for himself.
Decent first half from Bernie, Gundo and Rodders, and job done by then.
A second half to forget, such was the boredom.

I actually like Riyad for nicking the ball off Håland. I'd like to see more of that kind of cussed hunger from him. We don't see enough of it.
I like it for the same reason that I liked Rúben getting himself booked. Both were a little bit stupid, but it's exactly that kind of desire that we need to see if we are going to push Arsenal and that we haven't been seeing for weeks.
And no, I don't think Mahrez had a bad game. He was a threat on the wing, and I certainly hope he's picked for the game at the Emirates. In central defence I'd say Aymeric Laporte and Rúben Díaz picks itself. But that's another story, for another thread.

Agreed about Akanji. Thought the Kompany comparisons were absolutely miles over the top when he first came. He looked good and for a bit he was our best CB, but he's reverted to type recently. Dias, Laporte, and Ake should be in front of him permanently. Akanji a decent fifth option but nothing more.Akanji really is the £16m defender he is.

Sort of agree about Walker overall but thought he was back to his usual self for most of yesterday. On the right-hand side, not having to drift centrally, he looked way more comfortable. Same with De Bruyne, who moved across the grass yesterday with a freedom I've not seen since last season.

Not applicable?No fanning around with the defence. CW RD EL NA.
I’d play Bernardo there again, his energy and ability to keep the ball will really help us with the midfield battle

Wouldn't have counted anyway, Alvarez was offside in the build up i thinkI've been Mahrez's biggest fan this year, but fuck I was cursing him after that miss. I had Rodri first goal 4-1 to win 450 quid. To make matters worse I had Mahrez to score first and 3-1 on my other bet. :(

Do you mean like the one he saved from coutinhoGot to agree. Also needs to be a more settled unit. And if Ederson could stop the odd shot it would do us another favour!!
