That has to be a load of bollocks



I read on the matchday thread how he needs to step up and how he's not influencing games.

Phil WAS sensational last night

World class

I like Doku but Grealish is the better option at the moment for me as his defensive discipline is way better.
I reckon Doku will develop but its no surprise to me that Doku in the team created a period of defensive instability down the LB channel.

Both are great players and Doku will settle and learn. I'm not writing him off at all.

You do remember neither of our previous exciting wingers were great defensively?

It's not something that's natural for these types of players. Getting forward is the instinct. The defensive game is more a demand from Guardiola than most managers as they tend to prefer the availability for the quick counter.

It was much a penalty as Grealish's hand ball was against the scum. Daft Rule but we didn't write it.

I’m convinced you watch the games on a potato that you have mistaken for the TV.
It’s the only explanation for you being wrong about pretty much everything to do with this team.

2.32pm 16.03.2013 -1-0 down at the time, ended 2-0. Penalty spot deemed outside the box by the ref. We are still owed a few after that one.

85 mins Tevez gets the ball on the left hand side of the box and cuts inside. He shoots for glory but the ball is stopped in its tracks by Fellaini's hands. Fellaini is well inside the box so it should be a penalty, but a free-kick is awarded instead. That's a terrible decision by the referee who bottled it, really bottled it. Fellaini lucky to stay on the pitch too. Kolarov wastes the free-kick by smashing it into the wall.

Yeah, i like doku alot, as anyone can see from my doku thread posts. He's super exciting. I am simply saying jack starts ahead of him in my 11. Weird the inference that i think doku is not good when i have never said it ever. Welcome to the internet i guess.

I hope you don't include me in your last sentence.

I was simply offering the differences in the impetus of 'controlled' control and controlled chaos and how it affects our attack. You could even argue how often we score vs chances made via Doku vs Grealish.

I'd love to see those stats somewhere.

Controlled control helped us win 5 trophies in a year. There’s your stats.

Did you say the same when a pen was given against us in the cup final. Genuine question

Both should never be given, it’s embarrassing for the game we have got to this point

Was that a shot on target? I seem to remember it was an aimless head and Grealish’s head was in the opposite direction, the ball barely brushed his hand and its trajectory didn’t change. Last night was a full bloodied shot on target blocked with a hand, so no, I didn’t say the same thing when it was given.

Does anyone know what Grealish was complaining about after the match to the ref

Looks like he was telling him something had been said to him

Did not look happy and went right off the pitch

For me last night Phil Foden became a man from the boy
He took the bull by the horns in the 2nd half and was unstoppable and the driving force that won us the game.

it looked like Pep said at halftime, You are the free man and Pep just let him play like it was playing on the streets,
Foden has to be given that every week, the freedom to play and hurt teams instead of just sitting on the left wing
