It wasnt a fluke win yesterday, it was a tough game but thought we fully deserved the 3 points

the number one thing you dont do is fuck about with successful centre back pairing . we've waited a long time for this.Who would you have played yesterday? Rodri for Fernandinho Sterling for Torres Mahrez for Foden Stones For Laporte Cancelo for Walker?
i would have Raz and Cancelo in to start.
get a lead then fuck about .
No problem with that but Dias and Laporte will probably be a successful centre back pairing too. Good to hear there is another Sterling fan as I was feeling a bit lonely sticking up for him.the number one thing you dont do is fuck about with successful centre back pairing . we've waited a long time for this.

Reckon Foden sits this one out and we bring back Mahrez, Rodri and Sterling.
Rodri thrives in these physical games.
The result here dictates how we approach the rough run coming up. Get a win and we can afford a few dropped points in those.

no doubt we'll put a shit team out again. hoping for another fluke win.
Especially Laporte eh, what a plonker to play him at Centre back.
Tough narrow win.
Hopefully we dont get the shit kicked out of us for 90 + minutes and get an injury or two.
What i hate about Burnley.
Their players always target our influential players Metatarsals with foot stomping .Ref never seems to see it.

Just Pep being Pep.
No idea why he does this.
Got to say i was like wtf before the game.
We won though, so it is all good.
He did it a fair amount in 18/19. Worked out ok then."you dont do is fuck about with successful centre back pairing"

Trouble is Bill, players need a game break now and again. We have a run of really tough games coming up including dipshit and Gladbach. If you cant rotate against Sheff Utd who can you rotate against ? Besides laporte and Stonesy are like for like in terms of quality. Same can be said for Cancelo and Walker at RB although cancelo has been incredible of late. I also think the fringe players need to have a chance at getting used to this new fluid system we're playing at the moment.the number one thing you dont do is fuck about with successful centre back pairing . we've waited a long time for this.

Another tough day out but one we must win (pretty, dirty or otherwise). Tougher games looming afterwards so it is essential that we go all out to grab 3 points with the skip rats up next Sunday!! 0 - 2 :)
