I thought they’d banned that Dominic West advert.

Luiz is a dirty ****..should have had another yellow

agreed! definitely need some shaving

 

[Tolmie scores]

Rico Lewis has been superb

He was good Sunday as well..I thought he might fade away but hopefully the period out og the team may have helped re focus

Hairy Handed Nonce sounds like he's just found his underage wife in bed with a younger, fitter bloke on Bein.

 

[Mancity1980]

They scored exactly what Alvarez missed. He needs to improve his finishing.

He may be a bit off form but he is a proven finisher.

Villa, lose the ball, fall over and hold your head…….ref stops play

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Lewis is playing well but he has to keep moving. He’s sometimes stood in awe watching Rodri- we all are- but he needs to keep occupying a new space to give options.

I don’t agree. I think he’s been excellent. He kept moving when he created that Alvarez chance

I know people get frustrated with Doku’s final product but he is very raw and that’s exactly the kind of young player I would be signing, as he can beat any defender (or multiple defenders) in the world and you can work to improve his decision making, which is mostly what lets him down.

Goes back to the old allegory of the sprinters: if you are a coach and go to watch two sprinters run the 100m, who manage the same finish time, one with perfect form, one with poor form, you go with the sprinter with poor form. There’s immense talent already there and opportunity to make them even better.

I’m liking Doku on the right, he can just beat the full back quickly and fizz it in low!

I thought they’d banned that Dominic West advert.

For tinned salmon?
