[Tugay One Cup]

These were shit.

 

[blue by birth]

Considering how hot it was today I thought we were fucking amazing...once we got 3 up we just toyed with them and conserved energy .
Thought Haaland caused havoc in their defence..they were just tracking him everywhere and leaving so much space for our other players.
Was in car on way bk and rags were 1 down..got in turned on tv and it was 2.. fucking hell it's 4 and we'll deserved to Brentford.

What was Bernardo’s body language like?. Did he seem happy or was he sulking.

He can't fail to have been touched by the rousing reception he received. He was his normal self on the pitch.

- Last week there was chat that we shouldn't become reliant on Haaland, this week we've spread the goals around another four players. Some special things to come from this team imo.

- Laporte might struggle to displace Ake on current form.

- Walker's passing has become really good. When did that happen? He was basically in midfield again.

- One of those games where you don't notice Rodri as much, but how good is he. Tactical awareness, positional play, and always looking to see if he can have that shot from outside the box. So important for us.

- Five subs is going to be really useful. That half time sub will be something we use a lot I think.

- Fuck it was hot. Wouldnt want to play in it.

- New bar in the south stand is alright. Quite liked it.

- United ahahahahaa

Just caught the highlights now. Why didn't Phil square it across to NMS for the tap in?

Clapped and acknowledged it after the water break as well.

He is not here to make space , he is here to score goals , we have plenty to make the space for him

And with that comment you’ve shown your football knowledge. There’s a reason Gundogan, KDB and Foden all scored and that’s due to the presence of an out and out frightening centre forward. Half the goals we score all season will be down to him just being around the area.

Wtf was that smith bellend doing at the end there?

Lovely stuff that.

Smith was carrying on with what he was allowed to do on the pitch.

 

[eversince 76]

Mad that this needs explaining. He set up Gundogan, but his movement basically allowed Kev to get his goal, and if Foden had passed he'd have scored one himself..

Foden definitely should have squared it for Haaland to score. I think Pep wasn’t very happy with that. It’s simply important to get Haaland going at the Etihad.

Overal a very good win in warm circumstances. Controlled it completely and in 2nd gear from 2 up. And what a brilliant goal by KdB that was. Simply made me say ‘wow’.

Point two is a good thing as was John Boy coming on for Ruben, Keep then centre halves keen as they will all get game time this season.
