Scoring from corners isn’t that easy. The stats across the board are about 3% resulting in goals.Well considering how shite we’ve been with them, just taking a small win from today.
Then we need to find an alternative system for when Johnny B is out injured. Because much as I love him, he's made of biscuits and we're going to need to play plenty of games without him.Stones is just as important to our system as Rodri.
Agreed. Just not his finest dayHe can't do it every time
Great minds think alike :-) I said he reminded me of Otamendi back on page 67.Thought Otamendi had a shocker, needs to stop sliding in and giving away injury time penalties the thick ****.
He’s had an off game. It happens. He’s just about human.
Maybe Pochettino had told his players to chop back before shooting as Dias always throws his body in front of shots, which he did and being the reason for the 3rd and 4th goals.
Gvardiol cannot be expected to pick up their fullback. That's the wingers job. So yes, Jack would have done a better job.Doesn't matter if Doku or Grealish start when Gvardiol is so poor.
Good commentsI think we showed proper balls today. Ok you may not be at our best but we were certainly not giving a game up. For many a season ive supported city i have felt that we have not given our all. Ok Frizzel's team and Clark's teams obv didnt have the talent of say..today's team but they were also 100 miles away from the effort and desire that Pep's team play with. We did fight so hard today to win away v Chelsea..big change from City 1982 /3 to say 2010 Id take this fight to the end team all day.
The person you are talking too is a Manchester born Blue that lives in Manchester.You've asked it before and not received a satisfactory answer because it's such a fucking stupid question. Stick to watching ice hockey because you clearly understand f-all about football.
Not at all. You were (and are) 100 percent correct.I asked because I noted that (about 10mins ago) no one had voted for him for MOTM and last week he was the new Messiah (not Messi but Messiah) and I worried that we were putting him on a pedestal a little early. Just my superstitious nature again! :-(
Spuds on the slide.
Set the third goal up.Alvarez! Don’t recall him doing anything. Just a passenger
Not sure I agree with that. I think Pep played it right. Grealish didnt do too much when he came on other than retain the ball a bit, although he did that rather well. We lacked a bit of pace and punch without Doku. Love seeing Doku run at his defender, just wish he would take it on his left sometimes rather than cut in.Grealish should’ve started :(
Ake and StonesWhat injuries? Give them some inhalers and march them right back on
Thought he was good again. Linked up well the Phil.Alvarez! Don’t recall him doing anything. Just a passenger
Good post that. Get Johnny back fit again and we'll go up a gear especially with Foden in such great form.Short term view, gutted, we can’t be scoring 4 at Chelsea for a point.
Long term view, top without KDB and a patchy start to the season. I think this team is in cruise mode. When we really need to win matches, you’ll see the best of us.
