Hopefully we'll improve more. for the next game. I still think we make too many non-forced errors.

Yep we'll need to be better as well, I think the mistakes were mostly down to nerves and the performance itself will take care of those nerves which have been present in most games against team who were sitting back hoping to snatch a goal on the counter.Hopefully we'll improve more. for the next game.

I'm hoping Croatia will be the first game where the opposition opens the game up and allows us some space but Bilic was saying most of their goals against good opposition start from counters and they defend deep so who knows how the game will go.
Sorry. I disagree. Sweden are shite. It's like City beating Burnley, decent side punches above their weight and tend to pick up good results against more fancied teams. You would take the win but we wouldn't be waxing lyrical about how a result against Burnley was season defining and reflected the progress City have made. Less than Average international team beaten by average international team, yet to be tested.Totally concur with everything you say.

Don't care that you don't agree with me. Am not getting into any discussion with you as I can tell you have no real insight, from your only explanation
of everything as average or shite.
Oh get over yourself. I disagree with you im not calling you a dick or asking for the keys to your car. Calm down and enjoy the win, but don't go over the top.Don't care that you don't agree with me.

I cant speak for others who may have been too harsh on Englands run. But as far as im concerned its called remaining grounded and realistic. City have spent the last few years rightfully running down the scousers for the exact same thing. The mere whiff of success for them reimagined as the second coming of Christ most of the time and with their manager and staff exalted to saint like status. And that's before they've even fuckin won anything or after beating Bournemouth to move into the top 4. It's the same vibe with England fans at the moment. Enjoy it yes but let's be honesy and wait until they've actually been tested before constructive praise can be given about what there best performance has been. My experience has been that those England fans who are setting unrealistic expectations about individual players and the team at this time are usually the first ones to rip unfairly into the players and coaches if things go wrong. I won't bother you again as you did say you didn't want to discuss anything. But remember this ain't Tinder, I ain't looking for a date and just because someone may disagree with your point of view, that's all it is a different point of view. Don't take it personal.

Second City Bar in town was good natured but getting covered in beer isnt my idea of a right laugh.
I stink.........I should have a wash I suppose
I think you’ve just got to be prepared for something like that at times like this. Had a feeling I’d get a soaking in there at some point yesterday but I didn’t expect it to start an hour and ten minutes before kick off. That’s when some giddy fucker bounced backwards into me and my beer ended up all over me. Has to be some kind of record that.
Nonetheless, it was a cracking atmosphere in there and I got another soaking in the lead-up to the full-time whistle. Not just beer but also champagne - courtesy of the bar staff, not @gordondaviesmoustache - and a much warmer, unidentified, liquid which can only have been one thing really and is where I draw the line.
