A clean sheet = YES
Three Points = YES
Entertainment = NO

The novelty of city winning football matches will never wear off for me!!!!I'm just watching the Everton v Fulham game, and it's a great watch for a neutral, unlike our games that have become truly awful! Anyone who tries to deny that is completely blinkered. There is nothing to get anyone off their seats anymore, and I suspect that even those who perpetually stand, are now trying their seats out.
Yes teams defend deep, and yes that stops us attacking at pace, but there are countless times when we could shoot or cross, and create chaos in doing so, yet we recycle left to right, and right to left over and over again. The novelty of winning has long since passed, and I suspect there are many fans want to see a return to entertaining games (even if that means we lose the odd game 2-3), and are now contemplating the cost of travel, time and inconvenience to watch that same turgid rubbish every game. I imagine I will get pelters for this, but I'm deadly serious, win or not, games like that today are bloody shocking to watch, and it's happening every bloody game.
Many of our back 5 have won more than a dozen trophies. Confidence shouldn't be an issue.It instills confidence for a back 5.
You're right with that, but I get where the lad is coming from.The novelty of city winning football matches will never wear off for me!!!!
I’m just saying that’s why people say clean sheets matter. I would say regardless of how many trophies a player has won, being part of a defence which keeps clean sheets matters. That’s certainly what most defenders I’ve ever heard talk about the the game tend to say. It matters to them.Many of our back 5 have won more than a dozen trophies. Confidence shouldn't be an issue.
Just remember who was out today, Rodri, Bobb, Kevin, Doku and Grealish, it was just a case of getting the win, stop being melodramatic.I'm just watching the Everton v Fulham game, and it's a great watch for a neutral, unlike our games that have become truly awful!

It's a process of our success and world class team we have built. Teams would rather lose 1 nil rather than have a go and get hammered 4 or 5 nil.You're right with that, but I get where the lad is coming from.
Until the injuries from that international break !Top of the league, 23 out of 27 points.
Unbeaten.
All while being way off our best. It feels like every game is the biggest at the minute, just want to get through it with a win not arsed about the performance. Let’s try get to the next international break top of the league and hopefully the injury situation will improve.
