Until we stopped playing Pep Ball and started playing Bernardo & Gomez as our midfield, it was embarrassingly easy.
And, every viewer of that match KNEW that with 4 subs at once and players playing all over the place, Pep had already decided it was time to start preparing for a big game in midweek.
It LITERALLY should have been 10, and, crazy as it sounds, 6-3 flatters them no end, but it would be ridiculous to complain about the two sloppy goals at the end. The game was over as a contest before half time and after TWO HAT TRICKS, it was jelly and ice cream time!
Here’s hoping Walker is OK, Stones is only a week or so away, and Rodri’s tightness loosens up! Nice to get minutes in Laporte & Gomez, as they need to bed in for the long haul.
Jack & Phil are making defences shit themselves trying to stop BOTH their service and their ability to attract attention, with the likes of KDB, Bernie & Gundo lurking for the killer pass, and the Norwegian Meat Shield making grown men look like boys…and small ones at that!
What’s crazy is that THIS TEAM is not already 5 points clear and not even top of the League!!!
