[Impeccable One]

3 points, comfortable win, never in doubt, nothing to worry about, on to Tuesday

A lot of people need to get it in their heads this is going to take some time to get right. We're not gonna be swatting teams away 7-0 from week 1. I thought Stones looked very good on the ball and so pleased Sterling got MOTM as he was brilliant.

 

[Stockport mackem]

Well done guys and gals....a bit gutting to lose to an own goal....but I'd have taken 2-1 before kick off.
Have a great season

 

[vuadabanh000]

we only need time to adapt pep idea :)

 

[almir]

btw, Kolarov, what the fuck, great game.

 

[aguero93:20]

Why is an opinion different to yours flapping.....ive posted nothing 'happy clapping' pep and won't unless I see something worth getting positive about... pre season and today have been awful performances. Totally inept up front and more dodge than Del Boy at the back.
Was going to say... best chance of scoring is an og ;)

Look I'm not a pep fanboy, far from it, ask people on here, bit early to be flapping though.

If he keeps playing Kolarov at centre back I will take out a contract, will that do?

 

[Delphacito]

KDB still missing that magic. Hope he gets it back soon. Sterling and Stones = England's Future.

 

[TCIB]

3 points, that is all.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Sterling is a different player , Stones looked good and Fernandinho as good as ever.

 

[acess87]

3 points all that counts.

Great first 20 minutes. We will get better every time. Trust in Pep!

 

[andrewmswift]

Sterling, Silva, Stones, Aleks, Dinho all acquitted themselves very well. Liked Clichy and Delph when he came on as well.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

did well to come back and win that but it was hardly what we were thinking we'd get 6 months ago.....still, it's hardly the team that we'll hopefully have in 2 months time with VK, Sane, Gundogan and 1/2 others starting ahead of some others.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Sterling motm.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

3 points is 3 points, so I'll take that but not a great 2nd half. Same old problem in 2nd half...lots of the ball but no end product! Difficult to expect too much as the starting 11 in 2nd half was pretty much the same team as last season...need Sane, Gundogan and another starting CB next to Stones before we can truly see a different team play.....great to start with a win!!

 

[Newman Noggs]

Kolarov man of the match. Some people just don't know football.

 

[TravisBickle]

Much better from Sterling, looked very sharp

 

[Yates]

We'll take it! Sterling much improved, Stones clearly vital for this system. Silva being questioned? He's gonna be the man this year. Dinho yet again, Mr consistent.

 

[aguero93:20]

So basically:

We were shit.

Aguero, Stones and Navas bailed us out

We stole the 2 points.

On to Tuesday, hopefully things will improve.

@Neville Kneville were you as happy with our overpriced centre half as I was?

 

[nktakm]

Silva ran the game, we are in deep shit if he is injured before Ilkay comes back

Dinho was immense, Stones and Sterling were very good, KDB had bright spots in the second half and he is genius enough to come good with time

 

[yankcitizen76]

Best I think I've seen Sterling play. He's making those deep runs but he's genuinely a threat to create now. We just have to finish..... which we were really crap at today.
