+4 baby, +4.........

Good to know that xG(expected goals) is so accurate.
I mean wtf is this?? Everton should have won? LOL.

xG is great imo, but should only ever be used to tell part of the story.

Technically, Holgate and Mina had the two best chances of the match. Luckily for us Holgate volleyed over and by the time Mina had his chance they were already 3 down so it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Haaland had and took our best opportunity, Gundogan's brilliance barely registered on the xG at all (0.14 for his first goal) but that's a sign of just how majestic that goal was. The free kick, in similar vein, barely impacted the xG.

Very efficient performance. Well done Gundo pure class . Shout out to Alvarez -never stopped running after Haaland went off and got sod all of the ball during the game .

After 30 mins we were dominant without really threatening. By half time Gundog and the Viking had taken the game away from them.

How is that not a penalty. I thought yesterday's punch would be the worse decision of the weekend, I was wrong.

Mina is just another in a long line of cunts, looking at you Rudiger.

Personal highlight was Whippy’s title run in knee celebration fall to to floor after his 1st…

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

BBC report said we were second best until we scored, I must have been watching a different game

Grealish needs to stop fighting , every fucking game

Shows he cares, good on him.

 

[Josh_D]

Great 3 points.

Proud of the lads. Not too far from the finish line. Every bit of support is needed. So many games and I believe it is catching up to people like Rodri.

Nonetheless, glad that the patience of the lads paid off despite Everton making it uncomfortable a few times in the first half.

Not only is he fucking brilliant and one of our best ever signings, Gundo has an incredible knack of turning up the form at the business end of the season. He's the footballer I wish I was when I was a kid

Doing that no.8 shirt proud

 

[Bill Walker]

Never a doubt about this, fucking ave it..:)

 

[kaz7]

Fans loved it - Super Super Jack

You wont love it when he gets sent off

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Not expecting Brighton to get anything but tbh if we keep doing our business it doesn’t matter

 

[Lavinda Past]

Different class. Every position from top to bottom of every club.

City are a world apart from the rest.

Everton's plan seemed to be to give us a 3 goal start before they tried to play in our half. Dinosaurs.

Two more wins, job done.

 

[RobinHood]

Mikel it's ok, second is a hell of a result

Ha ha.

 

[Zenmanc]

Pep wants Gundogun to stay. It's just the club wants to offer him a 1 year contract but Gundo wants 2+.

If he didn't just make a case for 2, not sure what else he could have.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Professional Performance.
I await the alternate commentary with interest.

 

[Revolver]

Thank you players, managers and coaches. You were all excellent today.

A great day topped off by seeing Joe Royle looking fit and healthy (if my eyes didn’t deceive me).

Despite Minas antics hope Everton stay up.

 

[theres only one carlito]

Two more, Two More!!

 

[svennis pennis]

I’ve been avoiding all pre match build up and press during this run in. Makes games like today feel infinitely less pressured and exactly what it was, playing against one of the shittest teams in the division with a manager that Pep always hammers.

I’ve read people on here regurgitating the shite that Neville had peddled stating that it was going to be a hard game… it really wasn’t and shows why he is sat in the commentary booth and Pep is doing what he does.

I absolutely love Gundogan in these run ins, he is the archetypal big game player and just doesnt get phased. Both his goals looked effortless and were ridiculous technique.

 

[splinter]

Fucking brilliant result,totally professional.

Could be huge......

Amen
