[Tuearts right boot]

Marmoush the difference for me..

Such an outlet..

Let him get a few games under his belt before we start getting giddy

 

[Beanhead]

Where is the MOTM thread? Josko by a mile. Magnificent.

Yes, although Haalands second half was impressive. And his hair at the end.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Much improved from Wednesday and a good recovery after the first few minutes. Enjoyed the more direct style and Marmoush did well.

But it’s still obvious where we need to strengthen.

Chelsea were disappointing. The next two matches will be a proper test for us.

 

[MMA]

Ive been so critical of Bernie

But fuck me he did kova and gundos running and then some ...

Unreal shift

If I was Bernie I'd be in the dressing room demanding their wage for that week..

Go on Bernard.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

After first 10-15 mins thought we played well and much better team. Couldn’t really see them scoring and we were much more of a goal threat. Thoroughly deserved win.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Where is the MOTM thread? Josko by a mile. Magnificent.

He was solid today.

I actually thought Bernie had a good game today.

 

[PrezIke]

FotMob's rating of Khusanov: 5.5

A bit harsh.

What was it after the yellow?

He came into the game, looked more composed, showing resilience needed, under A LOT of pressure. (Liked encouragement from Ed & Gundo)

Yes the error(s) poor, but thrown in

2 key defensive actions I recall that saved high Xg chances by my observation.

86% passing 40/47, 1 block, 1 clearance, 2 recoveries

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

I'm on holiday.
And like I've said before I gave my ticket to a mate this season.
My dad's ticket is next to mine I put his on the exchange a couple of weeks ago as he's gone to watch buxton.
I just got a text off the lad who has my seat.
The club have sold my dads ticket to a Chelsea fan.
Lucky my mate is chilled.
If I'd been sat there I would have gone mental and probably banned.
This has taken the gloss off a great result and proper got my mad up.
Anyone any idea who or where I complain to as I'm not letting this one go.
Up the blues

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Where's the motm thread?

 

[Haaland94]

Much better, nightmare debut for Khusanov, but he will get better, impressed with Mamoush

??

Mistake aside (communication definitely an issue here), and watch Akanjis movement for that as well, he saved us from a certain goal, made some important interceptions, won duels. 6/10, decent. It was only his debut as well.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Bernie’s energy levels today?

 

[mancboy]

Gary neville is a ****, i know its nothing to do with the game but he is and it should be said as much as possible

 

[blue moony]

More like it, still some issues and weird subs but we have fight and also show we are willing to adjust to get points on the board.

Khusanov balls of steel for not crumbling after that start, that will make him a champion in time. Also perfect management from Pep in that situation letting him do something good before being taken off

Gundo and Kova very lucky that prime fucking Bernie turned up, and imagine if he can channel that level for the rest of the season! But we absolutely can't carry Gundogan anymore, I can't remember the last time we have had someone so out of their depth on the pitch regularily?

Marmoush will be mint. Haaland is mint. Foden scoring but still not as involved as I'd like him to be but every goal helps and I think we will see him back to his best soon.

Gvardiol amazing for the duration of the match. Huge credit to Matheus Nunes. Runs his socks off and is slowly growing into a role he is not used too. Maybe just maybe the individual mistakes will be fewer and the positive contributions will multiply over time and suddenly we are looking at one of the first players on the teamsheet? He is a warrior.

Bang on pal

greay yo see us go direct and make Erling more involved

Ive hammered him for getting bullied because he can play like that today and it should be the norm ...

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Let him get a few games under his belt before we start getting giddy

Best Egyptian in the prem

 

[borassic]

It’s great to actually see us play to Haalands strengths. Going long through Ederson really works

 

[Briggs1969]

He had about as bad a start as you could possibly imagine, but I thought he bounced back really well after settling down.

Thanks pal. I saw that, first game he'll be fine.

 

[akrh215]

A completely deserved victory. Gvardiol was excellent, and I’d especially highlight Nunes and Berna. Marmoush looks like he’ll be good, although his work rate didn’t seem the best yet. We’ll see as he still needs more training with the team.

 

[Dicko69]

Merson will be disappointed. Think we have to stick to this style now. Plays to the strengths of Foden, Marmoush, Haaland. Also gives us more presence in midfield with the 3 instead of 2 in there. Hats off to Bernardo absolute legend. Also thought Gundo was excellent today, played some really good through balls in for Haaland. And we’ve got a real player on our hands in Marmoush - better version of Alvarez.

With the threat of that long ball, it's stops the high line against us, meaning if they press us too high up the pitch it stretches them and we cut through them. We need more varied play, we have become far too predictable

 

[eyalluvitt]

The difference this lad Marmoush makes in being a threat up top is huge ..

He’s rapid, he could catch pigeons

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

What did he say?

Droning on about Chelsea not converting their early pressure. Endlessly yammering on what Chelsea should do to exploit City. You could hear the pain in his voice.
