His legs are not gone

Knew last match was just due to him not playing for a long time..Man does not age.

That was three points and eight up on Chelsea, thanks to Danny. Too nerve-wrecked to care who is next.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Tough, which was expected. Not our best but the importance of that win can’t be underestimated. Well done boys

Never threatened us in the match apart from our making in the 1st half
Some pretty sloppy passing from us
Had to battle to win that one, shows the other side of City...
Grealish getting the boos throughout the match despite hardly giving the ball away, unlike Silva, Gab, Cancelo....we need to get behind the lad
Chelsea dropping more points again...tee hee.
They were diving around all over the place in the 1st half
Great result

I think we should all know by now Pep does this to keep players fresh for the next game, especially when there’s a few games within the space of a week.

And we weren't exactly being overrun. The players on the pitch were in complete control. No need to unsettle that if they aren't making chances. Both Jesus and Grealish weren't great but they held up the ball and worked hard in the final 15.

Very sloppy at times but you can’t complain about 10 wins on the trot.

A good win considering we didn’t play well. We will have to play a lot better than that on Saturday though. Some very average individual performances tonight.

 

[mccity]

You know, despite everything, Brentford only ever came close to the goal during that brief flurry before we scored.


They weren't playing for anything other than to nullify us tonight.

 

[stan bowles]

When we play below our normal levels we still get over the line with a win. Same can't be said of the rest.

I’m just sitting here looking at the table.

Well done blue boys and Pep!

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

8 points clear bitches.

Always a tough game 48 years later.

Yeah, imagine having to play 2 games in 48 years, inhumane that ;-)

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Don’t care what anyone says. Ake was excellent

 

[hilts]

Another win, again against 12 men, awful cheating officiating yet again

Bwahhhhh

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Aké was amazing, great to see

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Not pretty, but sometimes you have to grind out results when not at your best.

 

[Stelea]

As poor and frustrating it was, I don’t think Ederson touched it with his hands in the 2nd half

Can 'boat' be replaced by 'trophy cabinet'?

 

[A57 the snake]

The headlines are .. there isn’t none . We’ve won it’s another 3 pts to the total which will hopefully lift the pot in may .

10 minutes doesn't tire a player out, they do longer warm downs but 10 minutes rest has a big impact on the freshness of the starters come the next game.
