We weren't awesome really were we?
Absolutely fucking incredible.
I've only seen Keegan's team do that, in the Championship.

You said we should have been dead and buried though didn't you? Where were all these Everton chances out of interest?Yep.
Do what? Draw 1-1 at home against a very average team. Don't get me wrong I'm pleased with the point given we had 10 for half the game but to say we were 'awesome' is ludicrous.Absolutely fucking incredible.

I disagree, Otamendi played well for me. Otamendi was only on that side of the pitch for 25 minutes.
But that's because Fernandinho is a terrible holding midfielder. He doesn't hold for a start. He gambles. If he gets caught ahead of the ball, the back line get got at 3 vs 3 and 4 vs 4 which is difficult to defend. It happens against every half decent side we play against and has done for the last two seasons despite half the forum beaming about how good and 'up for it' he is.The back 3 individually tonight were top class, but as a unit, nothing to do but be tight & had no idea where Everton pkayers were as soon as more than one got forward.
Drill the fucking defence properly & we win the title.
Don't bother & we will lose to teams such as the rags
We were awesome tonight & have dropped two points v a team who could not get near us.
Fucking LOL. Last week he was slated for picking Danilo instead of Sané and being too safe.
I wouldn't disagree but I think most opposition tend to target him as the weakest of the two/ three because of his positioning.
Once we went to a four and vk and otta in the middle we looked a different side.I agree - Otamendi had no cover in front of him as Sane just did not put the required effort and application into playing in the side.... got to step up Leroy or you'll not be a starter
At the same time, it's a huge ask to play a kid at LWB given just over a year ago he was playing RF in Germany,I agree - Otamendi had no cover in front of him as Sane just did not put the required effort and application into playing in the side.... got to step up Leroy or you'll not be a starter
Possession doesn't win games otherwise we would have won the league for the last 6 years. We were most dangerous when we were running at them at speed.. Why on earth, bearing in mind the talent we are supposed to have, do we spend 90 % of the time passing back , sideways,slowing the game down to walking pace. If we ran at teams more,yes we may loose a bit of possession but this would be cancelled out by more goals penalties and free kicks.
A simple "yes I was guessing" would have done.Oh please tell me footballing genius, why else did Guardiola change the centre backs around, the centre backs he spent his press conference on Friday explaining why he wants Kompany playing on the right.
let me guess, he did it because he was so happy with how they were playing? Or perhaps because he just wanted Otamendi to be closer to him on the touchline?
