Gvardiol seems to be consistently targeted by opposition teams, with the ball hoofed over his wing, and the winger often outpaces him to dangerous areas, leading to assists or goals.

I think he showed some great stuff going forward though so baby steps.

You missed a little bit. Maupay is a ****

It’s his superpower!

Tricky? They've had four home wins this season against Burnley, Luton, Forest and West Ham, and they've now lost five at home. It was tricky because we made it tricky.
They are 15th in the table FFS (and would drop a place if Everton get their points back) and some are treating it like a trip to the Nou Camp. They may have been decent last season, but not this time.
We were comfortable winners in the end, but a bit more composure at both ends during the first half would have meant we could control the pace of the game for the entire second half.

tbf mate they are a different team with toney playing

The only way to beat us is to play quick ball over the top of our high line. It happens regardless of who occupies the full-back positions, so the only way to judge our full backs properly is on their overall contribution, and Josko's has been excellent. How we play is how we play, and the players are not individually responsible for tactics.

I loved the way Phil kev and Alvarez go where they want no set pattern to there play very difficult to mark

It's just a consequence of how we play. If we sat deeper, we'd lose some of our sting going forwards. It's a bit of a gamble at times. The only saving grace is that teams have to be spot on with their final pass, because if they get it wrong, we can counter.

Still no leaks re what Maupay said to Kyle. I see both managers were remaining tight lipped after the game.
