This made me think of Fernando. ;-)because there's not a player in our squad that doesn't have the technical ability to take good pens imo.

To be perfectly honest, I'd have been confident if Ederson or Sane took it.As soon as the pen was given I thought there's not one city player on the pitch I'd be hugely confident in scoring it. Given the technical ability of each and every player in our squad that's pretty astonishing. Sergio is our regular taker and even he's not particularly good. I reckon ederson would have probably scored it, he's got balls of steel and that's what it's all about because there's not a player in our squad that doesn't have the technical ability to take good pens imo.
There was no justification for keeping Sterling on but more than enough for keeping Mahrez there.
But think about this. Jesus played for Brazil in the World Cup qualifying tournament and the finals. I assume that they practiced taking penalties numerous times in their training sessions. Who was one of the goalkeepers he would have been practicing against?
But wouldn't Jesus know how to send him the wrong way?
Anyway, the Star had the best line with Pep saying "Forgive me, Jesus"
Bloody gutted deserved the win, wouldn’t have been greatly confident if Jesus had taken it tbh. We had the best player on the pitch in Bernardo and the worst with Mendy who was laughably bad. Mahrez penalty aside had a very good second half.
Zzzzzzzz don't like my opinion don't care.“Ran his cause” ??? You fuckkin nob
I'm not slagging him off, he has been unbelievable great player & goes un noticed in many games he works his knackeres off. What is noticeable now is the lack of pace or that not being able to win the ball back when he looses it in bad areas. He is picking up many yellows now because of his temperament or daft loss of possession.He had a bad first 20 but then was exceptional in my opinion.
He drove at Liverpool for half the game.
We need a replacement now though, someone to pick up half the burden and then take over.
What a player Fernandinho has been for us though, I’m sure you’ll agree with that.
