Luton Town (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

That was a Kyle Walker style dick slapping for lowly Luton.

Again listening on the City app, Alistair Mann really deserves a wider audience, Nicky Weaver does love us, but he hasn't got the presence of Andy Morrison behind the mike.

The host wasn't Natalie, but some southerner with a plum! The guests both had Luton connections, Brian Horton, former captain and ex manager, David James grew up a hatter apparently.

I recall that Stoke cup final, Brian was pleased as punch to be there and for us to win. Here he spoke of both teams with affection but he's a complete Blue!

James didn't say anything negative about us but I just felt he was snidey.

The game, after a blistering start, it was disappointing that we couldn't extend our advantage. Not a surprise as Luton were set up to contain with everyone behind the ball when we had it.

Young Jeremy deserves a lot of praise for a decent contribution but I also thought nunes and Kovacic were decent, delightful finish from Matteo!

The pick was Josko's again! He is really coming into his own at the moment. Great victory all about patience. Top of the League!
 
Very solid performance. Doku, Kovacic, Gvardiol, Lewis, KDB and Akanji all stand outs but everyone contributed. I thought Nunes started really and actually looked like Rodri at times but he faded a bit as the game went on and fell asleep for their goal. The more I see of Gvardiol the more I like. I think we have bought an absolute gem.

Gvardiol is getting better and better with each game. He just quietly gets on with it and appears to have now developed a taste for goal. I suspect he he seen others attempts and thought 'I can do better than that!' and he has.

He really looks more confident now. Hes gonna be an immense player for us for years to come.
 
Finally we put in a top class performance without our most important players. Full credit to Nunes and Kova and Doku for stepping up.

I’d have given Doku man of the match, he was unplayable today. Akanji was imperious both at the back and when he stepped into the midfield. Kovacic lead us as you’d hope a man with his experience and CV would do.

Alvarez needs a long rest poor lad. He never hides and he never stops trying but he’s in a deep slump and if we had nothing to play for I’d pack him off on a well deserved break now.

As an aside can we either stop watering the.pitch or can the players change their studs. We seam to slip more than any other team, or is it just my imagination? I just think it happens almost every game.

The pitches have such good drainage, they get hard very quickly, so have to be well watered. Many players complain that grounds are hard underneath with slick grass, so if you don’t have good grip with your studs, or are trying to “turn the corner” quickly, you can easily lose your footing.

Not to over reach, but if this boy adds more goals and assists to his game. He will rival Salah, Rodrygo and Vini Jr as the best winger in the world.

That's the toughest thing to do. He needs to first reach Sterling and Sane levels before being compared to the above names.

Haha, he has been shooting all season to be fair.

But yeah he has been class over the last few games, but always been evident that he is a superb player imo
