Yes. I'm sure you will come up with a reason we didn't but if we are sticking to what happened over the 90 mins then we deserved the points by every metric you could ever wish to use.And we did?
He won us the Chelsea game.I don't think Kev warrants a starting place?
He will always come up with a moment of class to remind us, goal against Chelsea, case in point.
But he's more liability than threat for a while now.
He doesn't have the type of fitness which allows him to get about the midfield and recover transitions, usually when he has lost the ball
I do think we have taken a backwards steps in terms of cohesion in the midfield not having Bernie and Foden playing in the engine room.
It becomes even more pronounced when them and Gundo are also being asked to play high, or at least naturally gravitating towards the attack end.
Kev is a big game player but I have felt for a while we may have already seen his peak, whilst all the time he will always give world class reminders.
He is the solution and also the cause at times, similar to how Toure was after his peak, teams know he won't/can't get back in.
No he didn't , the ball didn't go out of playNo it wasn’t, when the ball hits Rodri’s arm he then boots it out for a corner, then the review is done.
Spot on!Don’t understand the decision to move Bernardo away from centre mid. The lack of energy when he’s not in the middle of the park is so obvious

Expectations from some of our fanbase are ridiculous. They expect a flawless victory every week with no poor performances allowed.A team can’t have one bad half anymore maybe nerves plus Everton working so hard closing us down with there fans right behind!
Sorry Everton deserve nowt and it ain’t our fault they’ve spent 500m on shite.
Did you see West Ham’s equaliser?
Yet here we are, sat at the to of the league.Not just Pep, I think the players and the club have prioritised the CL.
I agree on the whole, but I also think kdb is the shining example of talent working hard who everyone at the club loves. I think he raises everyone else's game by 5%. But the hard work is what keeps him in the team imoI don't think Kev warrants a starting place?

Didn’t realise Kavanagh was the ref in both, must have influenced his decision by comparing both incidents, he’s an Ashton lad, possibly a City fan?That’s the same rule in rugby league. If VAR can’t 100% prove the ref wrong, the infield decision remains.
Kavanagh was the VAR in both these incidents so he’s being consistent with the law n’all which is a positive.
