Give him credit for trying.....he's a good manager.

Credit for humble response after the game too... could you see Klopp, Mourinho or Wenger being as graceful?

Appeared to signal to the bench. Might have imagined it.

it definitely happened but it didn't seem that serious hopefully it puts him out of action for the internationals and that's it

 

[Newtoncc]

Just beautiful. How football should be played.

Where are the Delph naysayers now then? he was awesome yet again but everyone was to be honest

 

[Dribble]

Lets wait and see haha. I m trying to read him. Trying to understand Pep, isnt that worth. David is excellent in his own terms but he belongs to a different mind set. Its in the mind, Pep wants players who thinks like him.

David Silva is the closest player we have to Xavi. Is Xavi not a Pep type player?

Great post mate

Spot on man

 

[WEMBLEY76]

We have set a new standard in English football with that performance.

Chelsea were chasing shadows long before the end,punch drunk,didn't know how to cope with our style of play and hunger to keep and retain the ball.

Big credit has to go to Delph, he is solid. And he is clearly fit as a fiddle, which is great when we press teams

No you're right he did. Hopefully just a little niggle which keeps him out of the Belgium games and gives him a 2 week rest

But but but you can't win football matches in the premier league playing possession tiki taki pretty football. It's too fast and physical this league. No team lies down like they do v barca. Pep will be found out in this league.

 

[razman]

great result going into the break

 

[Tevez City]

Outstanding performance with 4-3-3 formation.

Thank God we didn't sell Delph, its hard to find a LB who is as good as him :)


KDB as usual, big game player

 

[george22]

To a man they played their guts out!They met the opponents intensity and surpassed it on the away pitch. This win will bloom their confidence further! So proud of the team and manager! So excited for this team this year and the future!!! 3 more years Pep sign the contract

 

[johnmc]

Probably asked already but why did we sign that Chelsea reject?

 

[Dribble]

I love him, but he had a fair few detractors early on this season. I remember one specific little "discussion" about him earlier this season.

Some people only see the hardliners, while some of us understand who and what breaks down other teams so we can allow the headliners the ball to play. Fernandinho plays CB, CM, CAM and covers both full backs ALL FUCKING GAME, yet some people don't see him on the score sheet and call him bang average! Joke!

I know we have a difference of opinion on Kompany but I think we're in agreement on this one. What people tend to forget with the fantastic performances from his teammates is that Silva will always be the first name on Peps team sheet. He knits everything together and allows us to play the fantastic football we do. Some just expect too much from him I think.
