Just wanted to pop in here again to say fuck off spurs.
Agreed.Just wanted to pop in here again to say fuck off spurs.
I felt Foden was different yesterday when he came on. Like he suddenly realised he can be part of it and not just the token youth player. Properly involved. Great stuff.
Anyone know what's happening with David ?came on and played in central midfield, and looked no worse than if Yaya had been brought on. Maybe Dave's "issue" might give him a little more opportunity. Every cloud and all that...
Managala looked a lot more composed yesterday. Maybe, even he is getting the confidence now.
There's something I really like about Mangala is playing as well... It's pretty obvious Pep has given him a load of 1 on 1 coaching, told him to keep it simple, play the pass to a blue shirt if there's an easy and obvious one, but if not, don't worry, don't panic, just put the ball out of play and we'll pick it up from there.
He definitely isn't playing out from the back in all circumstances, which has been Pep's approach previously. It's a lot more pragmatic, and you know what, Mangala looks a whole lot more relaxed for it. I thought he had a great game yesterday - I was really impressed.
No bias there then, he did the square root of fuck all, all game, apart from the one save from Ederson.Harry Kane gets 8
There was a rag on Talksport last night talking about the praise we are getting, and first thing he said was, well with the money spent its only to be expected to see them playing like this, with not even a hint of irony.Reading their forum you’d think that we’d have a few players in the top 10 all time transfers yet our most expensive player is in 12th place in Euros and 15th in Pounds, with only two players in the top 20. Deluded fuckers.

I thought so too, and the way he just turns up in the box late is a great trait to have.Thought Gundogan was excellent too. His weight of pass is perfect.
Rory Smith has done a great piece on how Pep is shitting on the Premier League brand and everything it supposedly represented. This was the league where it was Imporrosble to have clubs like Real, Barca or Bayern streak away from the rest of the league. Those leagues were shit, England is so competitive after all. You don't get teams scoring 4,5,6 here every week.
So as we keep rumbling on, and the gap to our competitors widens, people will look for reasons to discredit it. First it will be the money, and Mourinho's accusations of beneficial refereeing next it will just be that everyone else is shit this year, and then it wouldn't surprise me if we see accusations of doping.
You just can't do this in the premier league you see, and some people will go to great lengths to find reasons to protect that.
