Agree. 1st half players receiving the ball on the half turn going backwards apart from Foden. Second half much more like it. Deserved winners and tucked into the leading pack again with just under 2/3 of the race to go..The difference in the second half was that we actually ran at their defence a few times and had players backing up the move running into the box.
Rather than passing it back constantly, which we’re doing far too much of again, the drive from Rodri caused them problems and we profited from it. We need another midfielder who can do that consistently with a bit of power and pace and break through the lines like Yaya used to, as we were far too slow with the ball in the first half. There was some chatter about Thuram from Nice the other day and he’s the sort of player we need in the middle.
Good to see Stones back and we just need to get Walker out of the side now and give Rodri the captaincy.
Foden played well and the lack of a red card for that challenge was disgraceful.
Absolutely right... some promoted teams bring a new perspective to the League and deserve something. This lot are throwback cloggers and the ssoner they fuck off back down the leagues the better.If they had got the punishment they deserved for foul play they would have finished the game with 9 men and got a right pummelling. I wish people would stop praising players for kicking the shit out of players that are better than them. It's not the 1980's anymore
But we play against at least 12 every single week. Sometimes we play against 14 or 15! They just don’t like us the horrible little PIGMOL lot!Played against 12 today, disgraceful one sided officiating by a very very weak out of his depth referee, either that or another corrupt one.
To not even book him was farcicalThe difference in the second half was that we actually ran at their defence a few times and had players backing up the move running into the box.

I take it you never ventured to see Mr Jones at Plough Lane back in the day?Absolutely right... some promoted teams bring a new perspective to the League and deserve something. This lot are throwback cloggers and the ssoner they fuck off back down the leagues the better.
The team is bad enough, their crowd is even worse...
