Kovacic booked. He’s been quite poor so far.

Maybe he can’t be arsed and can’t wait to sign for city

 

[Gabriel]

Just coming on to say Kovacic is having a bit of a ‘mare thus far.

Hope this isn’t an indication his powers are waning.

Everything he’s tried so far just hasn’t come off for him. Ref is a bit card happy, though Ake was a bit lucky there.

i hope kovacic aint gonna be another phillips

Perhaps, though I’ve never met anyone from the Balkans who isn’t, how can I phrase this delicately, ‘fervent’ when it comes to national matters.

 

[Gabriel]

Lovely ball by Ake to slice them open for the goal.

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

What a player Nathan Ake is. One of the best defenders in the world.

Perisic was lucky with his shoulder in to the keeper’s head.

****’s challenge.

What a player Nathan Ake is. One of the best defenders in the world.

Played a lovely 5 iron over the top a few minutes before as well. Never really rated him as left-back when he used to play for the Oranje, but Guardiola has improved his confidence and technique beyond recognition.

 

[Josh_D]

Clear pass on and he’s still trying to dribble. Not sure what he was thinking there, Gakpo. If he was thinking at all

 

[Gabriel]

Perisic was lucky with his shoulder in to the keeper’s head.

****’s challenge.

Indeed, dirty. Never understood why Spurs bought him. He’ll be 35 in the winter and was given the run around by Mahrez in January. Postecoglou will do well to get much out of him.
