Even having to mention the deflection for the goal ffs. It was going in anyway. Silly cow.

Andy Townsend is another biased city hating prick as well

 

[Bill Walker]

What was that with the corners at the end????!

Sense imo.

Really don't agree, de Bruyne often tries an ambitious pass, rhodri generally links play and intercepts and nudges play along. De Bruyne s run made the gap for fodens goal

Me neither. Kevin is aiming to slide the ball through small gaps - it won't always come off but it's not poor play. He's the assist king.

That's great, but he does other passes of 5-10 yards that he misses, he's woefully out of for form me.

As always, I was at the game and thankfully didn't have to put up with the shite live commentary. But just watched MOTD and Foden scores a Messi-esque goal and Mowbray's waffling away like the goal was ok but lucky. What planet is he on? We win 2 - 0 against a decent side and Murphy's saying we're not blowing teams away like we used to. For sure, we're not in top gear but he's almost making out we're a past-it team like his beloved scousers.

Off day FFS don't believe your post

It's normal - all great players have dips - but he also worked his arse off. If I'm being brutally honest, we played a few spongy looking passes from our back four. When John comes back he'll improve our distribution from defence.

Ederson, 6 - Distribution was mental but was otherwise fine, well done on 100 clean sheets

Walker, 7 - Kept Gordon and ASM relatively quiet today, apart from a couple of moments
Akanji, 6 - Generally fine but always has a "hologram" moment in him, where you can see he's there but defenders just go straight through him as if he's not
Dias, 7 - Was really good at the basics today and stepped into midfield a couple of times
Ake, 9 - My personal MOTM, a real star at the moment

Rodri, 7 - Did all the simple stuff well today, struggled a bit when Newcastle made their subs
De Bruyne, 5 - Pushed hard but rushed it on occasion, he's starting to wane now, what a player he's been
Gundogan, 6 - Unlucky not to score early on, was otherwise a bit mixed

Foden, 8 - What a goal, should have had another in the second half
Haaland, 8 - Looks like a part of the team now, loved his celebration for Bernardo's goal
Grealish, 9 - Never seen such a talented grafter before, gives absolutely everything

Special mention for Bernardo as well.

BBC mentioned the missed Newcastle chances but ommitted the Bournemouth easy scoring opportunities against the Goons , we know BBC Salford is full of Rags , but the prick who edits this programme must be sat in his full Rag/Dipper kit at his computer, its every f*cking week now.
