I noticed this too, as both Jackson & Madueke gave Kyle a run for his money.I thought yesterday he was showing signs of losing a bit of pace.
Fair enough. Worth noting that Linford Christie is the oldest ever winner of the 100m Olympic gold at 32.I noticed this too, as both Jackson & Madueke gave Kyle a run for his money.
To be fair though a few years & miles on the clock than either, & he completed 120 minutes 3 days earlier, so that's probably a bigger contributing factor in regards to his pace.
Tell that to Vinicius JuniorI thought yesterday he was showing signs of losing a bit of pace.
She makes porn films, so a friend told me.You just knew that what she was about.
It's such a shame that modern day football fans base players football performances on a week to week basis.After seeing the goal a few times today Bernardo looked very emotional after his initial outburst of celebration
Really pleased it was him who scored after Wednesday
True City legend
It's a different discipline. You put your foot on the gas for 10 seconds & then you're done. Walker has to complete tens of shuttle runs every game. Alongside twisting, turning & stopping, it's far more difficult than running in a straight line.Fair enough. Worth noting that Linford Christie is the oldest ever winner of the 100m Olympic gold at 32.
After the penalty given in the final vs the rags last season, I was convinced that they would have given the one yesterday.
It only emphasises further still what an absolute bent decision that was in the final and how, if you are either the rags or liverpool, those are given for you.

Probably down to playing again after 120 minutes on Wednesday after being out injured for 2-3 weeksI thought yesterday he was showing signs of losing a bit of pace.
Agreed 100%. It was a display of Champions. Now the lads have nearly a week to rest & recuperate. With only the league & a cup final in front of us, my hope is this will now benefit our squad which is weaker for the absence of Gundog & Mahrez, the loss of form form Haaland & the injuries to KDB, Stones & Jack.
It's also great to see the real Jack back too. He's made a huge impression over the last two games, & I hope it continues until the final kick of the season.
Including many of our own. When Jack was being slaughtered by City fans of not being worth £100m & for his first season performances, I supported Grealish throughout.Agree RE Grealish, he and Bernardo are very different to each other, but both bring control in their own was and when on form contribute enormously.
Interestingly the FA's Instagram page recently post clips of Grealish at 19 for Villa in a semi final. Lots of the comments were from Villa and neutrals saying how Pep and City have coached him to the point that he isn't as exciting. Watching the video was very similar to Grealish now, clever passing, good ball retention and unselfish. A mature performance and no doubt the attributes that led to us buying him, people really are blinkered when it comes to City.
It was more an age pointer. Christie’s win surprised many at the time.It's a different discipline. You put your foot on the gas for 10 seconds & then you're done. Walker has to complete tens of shuttle runs every game. Alongside twisting, turning & stopping, it's far more difficult than running in a straight line.
I’ve been tough on him & think he’s been outstanding this 2-3 games. Within 10 mins of him getting on the fullbacks are down with the physio on.
Dead right about assisting the assister.Including many of our own. When Jack was being slaughter by City fans of not being worth £100m & for his first season performances, I supported Grealish throughout.
Jack didn't put the price tag on himself, Villa did, but regardless he's only worth what a buyer's willing to pay.
The interesting stat with Grealish isn't his sparse goal-scoring & assists, it's that he's head & shoulders above other PL players as the one who assists the assister.
The main progress I'd like from him is to quicken up his play when City switch to rapid 1/2-touch football. When we're in this mode, he sometimes holds onto the ball too long which breaks our momentum & gives the opposition time to set themselves in a low block defensive formation.
Now he's seemingly over his early season woes, I hope he kicks on & continues to develop this side of his game.
I like having him & Doku as options, as they bring different things to the table. Recently it's been start with Jack to soften up & tenderise the opposition, & when they're worn out from running side to side, bring on the Count to twist them inside out & put them to the sword.
i don’t think global draw is an issue here.City vs Chelsea is more of a global draw than ManUre vs Coventry. If I was the BBC & had the first pick, our match is the one I'd have opted for in terms of viewing figures.
Granted, the FA must look at potential fixture pile ups like this in future, & come with something more joined up.
