Marseille (a) post match thread

[cleavers]

Much improved because we had genuine width up front.

I'd argue pace more than width.

Totally agree, I said when we signed Ake he will be regarded as a bargain by the end of the season. Zinchenko is ok against the Marseilles, but gets found out against the better teams. That's not really a criticism though, he's not a left back!

Walker, Dias, Laporte, Ake... I just hope we can get these four playing for (most of) the season. If we can do this, who knows what we'll win?

That foursome looks good,plenty of mobility there as well.

The west ham thread was on 40 pages by that time

I guess a defeat throws up more questions than a victory. Bit odd that you feel the urge to count pages like that, but each to their own.

I only just managed to catch the highlights, so difficult to tell how we really played without seeing the full game. From the highlights it looked like we played well though. Nice passes from KDB for 2 of the goals. Glad Torres bagged a goal. Clean sheet, 3 goals & Pep sounded pleased too, so it's a good night.

Best performance of the season.
Dias is absolute class.

Dias is talented, a colossus in the making and hard as nails.

It was on almost a hundred pages an hour after the game finished......the undercover rags in hiding tonight.

So are the Pep out brigade!

Excellent team performance. Dias and Laporte partnership looks really promising, fingers crossed they stay fit. Loved Foden’s skill when he took the ball out of the air, he’s going to be something special. Much more like it.

 

[Postman Pep]

Darke didn't even mention Foden's skill. It took "JJ" to point it out.
Also couldn't understand why Darke kept pronouncing Cancello's first name as Sixteemillion

French commentary on my stream so blissfully unaware of any negativity. Disappointed there was no replay though fantastic piece of skill.

That’s because we get the wine out, give the missus one and go to sleep after a win. When we lose we kick the cat, get banished to the shed by the missus and come on here for a moan.

To the wine cellar...



(I’ve not got a missus, a shed or a wine cellar, by the way)

You can borrow mine.

Foden is going to be integral to the future of this team. He's stepped up brilliantly this season so far, getting to the point where we miss him when he doesn't play.

Big shout out to Dias too. He's different gravy.

Agree about Dias. I actually think Foden has been disappointing this season but has found his feet in the last two games and been brilliant.
