Big 3 points

wasteful up front AGAIN

why no foden AGAIN

better work rate but still very sloppy for me.

team & pep just look out of confidence

Weird as fuck analysis tbh.

Didn’t deserve 3 points imo.

We are completely woeful in front of goal.

Didn't santa ever leave you a present.
Is that why you post negative.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

First time for a long time we've taken points we didn't deserve.
Take the 3 points but we're still miles of our best.

Please explain how we didnt deserve it.

Not ruthless enough in front of goal but what a win. Hugely impressed with the defence again.

 

[Rammy Blue]

A brilliant 3 points against a very cohesive and in form side.

The Centre Half partnership - superb,especially the reinvention of John Stones.

I thought Bernardo was much better today too,up until the last 10mins anyway.......he needs a run now.

Effort and desire was difficult to criticise.

We still struggle with decision making,why the fuck do we take that extra toch and overplay everything??

Our fitness continues to be an issue,also Peps sub use continues to baffle.

Mike Dean is fucking useless.He let alot of their niggles go and cracked down on ours,and where the fuck were 5 mins from?

Overall......a 7/10 and a great platform to build upon.

MOTM John Stones

On the money that mate.

We seem to over play everything. Silva and Sterling being the main culprits. Why on earth Silva decided to pass to Mahrez when he was only a few yards from goal is beyond me?

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

an extraordinary win given how bad everyone in front of the back 5 was.

I’ll take 3 points against a top 10 side - that’s the most important thing and we need to use it as a base to build on now.

I honestly can’t believe that I’ve just seen us play for time - running it into the corner - in a PL game though.

I can handle seeing that 1-0 up in a CL semi or final, but in the last 5 years can anyone remember us clinging on and taking it to the corner?
In recent years we’d be bombing forward and looking to boost the goal difference. Maybe it’s because it was KDB doing it - it just looked so uncharacteristic.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Controlled the second half really well, which I expected as they were bound to run out of steam.

Still a pisser that we are so profligate in the final third, some appalling decision making and finishing yet again.

Major plus point is how solid our defence is - Stones, Dias and Walker were superb, and if we could add a top drawer left back to those 3 we’d be in awesome shape.

My stream it’s the 49th minute.

West Brom game.
