Classless Mourinho once again calling out his players in public. He will derail at some stage in the not too distant future.
In terms of a football match, well there was only one team trying to play the game properly.
We schooled them for 40 minutes and it was an absolute joy. They were being pulled left right and fucking centre.
They changed there shape in the 2nd half and for 5 minutes looked fairly dangerous. However Pep isn't stupid and made the right substitution in Fernando. They then started to play a milder version of rugby and it was painful to watch. We stood up to it though and had some decent counter attacks. Put Aguero in that scenario and it could have been more than a little embarrassing for them.
We have better technical players and play the game in the correct spirit. We are a pleasure to watch. We are a better football team. Period.
Individually shout outs for Otamendi/Kolarov and Fernandinho. All fucking mint.
I thought Raheem had his quietest game of the season and that isn't ideal timing given Sane is now fit.
Bravo was miles better than some are suggesting. I'm still not certain after looking at the replays, that he was entirely at fault for the goal. Stones didn't cover himself in glory in that particular moment or across the 90 if we are being honest.
What a fucking super start to the weekend!
