Stoke post match

Danny Murphy thinks 4-1 flattered us. Danny should know I'm
Ecstatic with the result and I would have took a 1-0. ;)

Wow! All that with only two attacks in the second half worthy of mention. MOTD wankers.

Always find it funny , they show more City attacking in analysing of the match, then they do in the high lights. Also still time to stick the knife into Stirling, last season stats ! No mention of how well Iheanacho did when he came on .
 
Won 4-1 at our graveyard, early in the season when it was blowing a gale. Souness had it bang on - we barely got out of 2nd gear, but still quite a few positives. Fantastic!!
 
We could win 10-1 and they would say the score flattered us and then they would show how sloppy our defending was for the goal we conceded.
It's annoying but makes it all the sweeter when we win something at the end of the season hopefully.

I think you have a good point. Steau Bucharest wasnt 0-5 before the kick. After the match it was all about how crap the opposition were and that Stoke away will be a different proposition....we stuffed them 4-1 but that apparently flattered us ! 9 goals in 2 matches when does the praise start?

F'in 0-1 at Stoke ... Take it all day every day, every year including leap years. Put a reminder on your calendar to see what the Scum do at Stoke, I'll lay 10-1 it will not be better than 1-4
 
Not one of the rest of the top six will go there and win by 3 goals. That's points gained on last year alreasy. Weve lost there regularly and big teams will drop points there.
 
Just watched the extended highlights on the OS and noticed that Kun came off the pitch at a fast pace today - last season he would have dawdled off. I think he is reacting really positively to the Pep approach. The other thing is that Pep made a point of recognising each player as they came off.

+1
I can't say how important this is. It's absolutely clear that Kun, in spite of being on a hat trick, had no problem coming off. His head didn't dip when pulled off. He came off willingly. And Pep went out of his way to congratulate Kun, giving him a pat before Kun took the bench.

Not only is Pep a master technician, he's a great motivator. This was Pellegrini's biggest fault by far - Pellers lost the entire side, turning football into a joyless job. Players listlessly wandering the pitch, not giving a shit about whether we won or lost. It's a miracle we finished 4th last year.
 
Apologies if this has already been mentioned in an earlier post,or different thread, but where was Brian Kidd yesterday? I don't remember seeing him with any of the players.
 
That was a great result yday at ground where we always seem to struggle and like a few have said not many teams are goin score 4 goals there also great to see pep celebrating with fans at end of match

Absolutely bang on posts these. Aguero does seem to feel more "peppy" this season ;)
Another example to the ones you both mentioned is one I noticed in the Tunnel Cam videos. Aguero, in the past, has been the last player to line up in the tunnel. He has always ambled behind the rest of the team when walking out into the stadium and there was always a noticable gap between him and the rest of the team. Like a rockstar standing out in a crowd, almost involuntarily. Vs Sunderland, for the first time, I saw him moving along with the team, as if he was "one of them".
It was a very small difference,and I may be proven wrong about it later, but it genuinely looks like there's a strong team ethic that Pep has instilled in the squad.

Tell you what, it was bloody tough at times today but I still never really doubted us. There's a fire in the belly that's been missing for a few years. The way we shut Stoke down before picking them off was ruthless and reminded me of the 2011/12 season - but with infinitely more tricks up our sleeve than the "yaya up top" trick
