That day at WHL was great the slight deflected pass of Gaz Baz for Edins third was a thing of beauty :-)Great hat trick by Phil. Made me think of previous HTs by blues,away from home in London.
Ron Futcher at Stamford Bridge ,1978 iirc,which included a superb stooping diving header ,Niall Quinn at Selhurst v Palace ( left foot right foot and great header) and of course Dzeko bagging four at WHL ,left foot, right foot ,and a superb back header....shut spuds up good and proper.
Any other capital hat tricks by Blues ?
Why were they removed?There was absolute fucking nut job female city fan below me getting the stewards involved in removing City fans, at least 2 she got removed, one did call her a woman though, bus seeing how she behaved towards others she deserved it.
Not from David Lloyd book of best sledges ?To be honest that’s quite funny, and Walker would have been better off laughing and replying with something like ”I did mate, your mum’s in our dressing room”.
One called her a woman, he had some grief from another city fan,that didn't go down well, he got removed, she had a go at the first guy, he called her woman then removed, the other lad found a seat next to her then started banging on about show me your ticket, the seat was free.Why were they removed?
Mrs Ewing came back from the game and told me she had to get a couple of stewards involved and complained she was being pinned up against a crash barrier! I told her before she went that that area is a bit 'iffy'!There was absolute fucking nut job female city fan below me getting the stewards involved in removing City fans, at least 2 she got removed, one did call her a woman though, bus seeing how she behaved towards others she deserved it.
EXACTLY!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.
Now yes, but you replied to the poster, who underlined a development aspect. Very interesting, because:He is a great player, his touch is excellent. He would walk into any football club in the world
Shirley you remember Sergio doing it numerous timesI had no idea. But then I didn’t go on to be a smarmy, pointy cheeked, ridiculous accented spitter and ask someone a question clearly there to set the kid up.
Overall a really strong performance in an attacking sense. Still think we were defensively poor at times. Not so much structurally but just individuals not playing at a high level of not showing composure.
Phil is quietly morphing into Gundo in terms of his ability to affect games both on and off the ball and his overall maturity. He was obviously MOTM. KDB is getting there too. Rodri is immense. Walker had one of his best games of the season. Dias I thought was quietly poor. One good block but a lot of nonsense in terms of his passing, decision making, etc.
I don't really understand Alvarez in this side with Jack, Bobb, Nunes, and Kovacic sat on the bench. Yes he's a penalty box killer, but he is nowhere near technically good enough to play in tight spaces, his first touch is poor, and he has the turning circle of a 192 bus in a Tesco Express car park. Don't get me wrong, he's obviously busy and he's obviously got that work rate Pep loves and I'm sure he's one of those happy faces who never gets down about not playing. But considering how much Pep loves control, weird that Alvarez plays so much with the other options he has.
