Doku was shit

Is it me or was the whole BBC coverage biased this evening?
All that was missing was Ant & Dec to make it even more fucking obvious.

Murphy would of probably done the commentary in the away end if he could of.

Kovacic is such a great player, could be very important for the finish of the season.

Its a waste of time Walker moving any further up the park as his crosses seldom get past the first defender.

I think it's more so for making runs in behind for the Rodri diagonal ball over the top to him. It's all about moving the opposition about and pulling them out of position with movement.

Don't get me wrong, Walker should be doing better when he gets the ball in dangerous positions with the ball, But he's fantastic and making runs in behind the full back and basically being a nightmare for defenders something which he's incredibly good at.

When we played Tottenham away the commentators frequently mentioned City’s great support from the 9000 traveling fans. So what’s wrong with mentioning it tonight?

The beef isn't with their fans per se.

The issue is those pricks on the BBC talking/hoping for a potential FA Cup upset and how Newcastle were the plucky underdogs.

Newcastle are a premier league club for fuck sake, it's not like we were playing Layton Orient. However, the way the commentary team were gaslighting throughout the whole game you would be forgiven for thinking we were.

In an 'easier game' I'd love to see us have a line up of Foden. Alvarez with Bobb and Doku as an attacking 4 .
I think they'd be a right handful.
Rodri Kdb and Bernie as midfield 3 with Akanji Dias and Walker at the back..

Up the beautiful blues great win great performance another slice of history made tonight for reaching fa cup semi finals.

What a club we are.

Doku was shit

Even you don't believe that in first half
Second half when change back to wing not as good
And I'm not his biggest fan

Akanji's fleetness of foot has earned him a regular starting berth it seems.

Akanji's fleetness of foot has earned him a regular starting berth it seems.

That, and him being a bloody good defender.
