More like it. Good performance, few players stepped up their game from recent weeks, namely bernardo and gundo, and the return of kdb made the telling difference. Foden hasn't put in even half as good of a performance as that all season and that's kdb being cautious.
It's not all sunshine and roses from here mind, we were still wide open on transition and only the window can fix that. we were quite fortunate that they were really, really poor tonight, due a bit of luck though.
That starting back 4 tonight is the best we have I would say that needs to be the back 4 until January where again we'll need reinforcements to beef up the ridiculous decision to have just 6 defenders but looks as though Ake is done again and Akanji too so that idea is out te window. Dias' leadership is a welcome return.
Pleasing to score 3 and none of them be Haaland. Finally got other goal contributions, that needs to continue, we will need individuals to step up and carry us until January, if they can without us dropping any points and we reinforce big time then we can see. On to palace now. Must win that.
