Considering the ref gave us absolutely f*ck all a decent result were do they get these officials from ? Its like they are obeying an instruction to try and even a game up , he virtually booked every player who committed foul , he was a f8cking clown.
Very impressed with the new signings they just slot in like they have played here for years a testament to a brilliant coach at his peak , its a real pleasure to watch this team , even on an off night they put teams to the sword with disdain.

Just want to remind people, before the inevitable scapegoating starts anew, that if not for profligate finishing, Gomez could have had 5 assists in 50 minutes of football.

Never worried that we would not win but a strange game. Alvarez is rapidly becoming a key player. Feel a bit sorry for Gomes that nobody managed to convert the chances he created.
Job done and playing time given to some fringe players.

He put the ball past a guy inside our own half at the end and had whole pitch to run in to and I was like go on lad and he just couldn't do it, maybe playing safe on that occasion but it's very noticeable off the ball too

He did track back a few times but it’s fair to say he runs out of steam a bit.

His fitness levels will come on leaps and bounds over the next few months. It’s an under appreciated part of our success, but the difference our fitness and conditioning staff have made with players like Akanji, Ake and Rodri is incredible.

3 days after tough game at Wet Spam
Just off the international break
Bedding in new players
Empty bench
4 starters out
Bernie going off

Win 3-1

What's not to like?

Those 6 things at the top

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

That presenter on TNT needs to pull her kecks up.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Got there one way or another, and on another day we win that by 6 or 7

Anyway, Haaland, Alvarez, Foden, Doku, Rodri, Nunes, Grealish, De Bruyne, Bernardo and Kovacic is an incredible front 6, and that's before you even touch our back 5

We've got an unreal squad at an age which has still got so much room for growth and improvement over the next 3 or 4 years

There's no squad in Europe that's got a squad like that in place to dominate the next few years

What a time to be a blue!

 

[JWCH-99]

Plenty of times he didn't as well.

I mean that could be said of any player surely- phil had a few occasions where he didn’t track runners or he stopped running back to help. They are attacking players ultimately, but feel he does more than enough defensively.

 

[OB1]

Had some similarities to West Ham.

Should have scored far more goals. 37 attempts on goal is huge.

Win is all that matters.

Can the coaching staff teach Haaland to head the ball another three reasonable chances wasted tonight.
