I started the day watching Newcastle v Liverpool and Newcastle could very easy have got a point from them. Liverpool looked a bit ragged at times and it's another game they sneaked through.
If you were looking at the results from City and Liverpool recently, you'd say City have found some extra form. We are scoring a lot of goals just at the right time. Although I don't think it will come down to GD, it's a psychological boost for whoever has the advantage. I think we will overtake them soon.
As for the game, we played well overall. I wondered how Leeds could be in danger of relegation if that's how they play every week. Of course, the referee was an absolute disgrace and it was down to him why Dallas got stretchered off after that assault on Grealish. Grealish had no protection in the game and did well to keep his cool.
I had Sterling as MOTM. He was superb and shown his pace, movement, quick feet, tackling and general energy. They couldn't live with him at all and I hope it's given him a boost. Of course, we all know he should've scored but I accept it will never change with him!
Foden and Rodri were superb as well. Rodri is absolute class and it would be front page news if he misplaced a pass. Foden set up the goals and you can't ask for more than that.
Cancelo gave everyone full sight of his game. Some amazing runs and passes yet a defensive liability. He needs to be in midfield and I can't wait for Walker to come back. Walker wouldn't have slipped, simple as that.
Overall a good day for us and Newcastle next which won't be easy. However, I'd rather play them than Spurs and I can see Spurs getting something. Spurs have a lot to play for as well.
I’d never wish injury on a player, but it’s hard to have too much sympathy as it was largely self-inflicted. Tierney is culpable too for allowing him to repeatedly foul Grealish with impunity.
I’ve never been too worried on that score, pal… the fact we are 2 goals off the greatest attacking team of all time (with no recognised striker), and conceded one less, measured upon the god like defence marshalled by van dyckhead, kind of tells us all we need to know, a media driven agenda perpetuated by subscription l…..Their Goal difference advantage has disappeared in the last week as well.
I'm still baffled why we signed him ,especially for £100m. I hope to be proven wrong.
The other thing that baffles me is why Gab hasn't played striker more often this season. It is so much better when he is up top
but we are top of the league so what the fuck do I know
I hope in that case he has a cracking game Tuesday night
Yeah but we were ruining football at the time ;-)I’ve never been too worried on that score, pal… the fact we are 2 goals off the greatest attacking team of all time (with no recognised striker), and conceded one less, measured upon the god like defence marshalled by van dyckhead, kind of tells us all we need to know, a media driven agenda perpetuated by subscription l…..
yes the dippers are a great team but just look at the clamouring for a clean sweep by the same people who vilified our attempts (plural), we’ve been close on 2 previous occasions!
The palpable disappointment in his commentary when Ake's goal more or less sealed the win was also quite clear and obviousThe hope, then the abject disappointment that Cancelo didn't give them a "slippy g " moment was was a joy to hear in Tyler's voice.
Let's hope an official report has been lodged, disgraceful refereeing.I’d never wish injury on a player, but it’s hard to have too much sympathy as it was largely self-inflicted. Tierney is culpable too for allowing him to repeatedly foul Grealish with impunity.
I dunno mate.Then what did we buy Grealish for? Pep wanted him, so i am going to guess that part of Pep`s reasoning is, Grealish keeps possession of the ball even with fouls coming in, after all he is nor going to race down the wing then smash a 40 yarder in is he? asking him to do different to the reasons we bought him for is odd.
