Traore is quite possibly one of the worst players in the league. Best fitness for sure. But absolutely shit player. Can’t pass, can’t shoot, can’t even run with his head up. He’s literally a headless chicken.
Its fine I understand for some it can only be comments about us being the super awesomest bestest ever. no room for constructive criticism at all.
I thought Sanchez and Dier both did really well today. Mistakes are inevitable, especially if we basically cede possession for an entire half and let them attack at will..
Sanchez, in particular, is no fool. Couple of moments where he could have lunged in but recognised the danger.
I really do not enjoy this style of football, but it’s not their fault, and they did what was required today.

Coupla things BM. First, Eric Dier has been shite for years upon years. With so many data points of evidence is it really fair to expect folks to run screaming about his 1 or 2 'not bad' performances? Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is a trend - we're not even 3 games in. He still made a horrible error in the 2nd half from which were weren't punished but would have expected to be.
Let him play 'well' all year and then question those that haven't acknowledged it. It would be fair then.
Too right. Game of opinions and all that but i have no idea how anyone can look at our squad or todays performance and think we need a winger who is all pace with not much ability who has no end product. It's literally the last thing we need. We need footballers with playmaking ability and goals.
And yet you didn't acknowledge his fine performance today (or last week as far as I remember), but still clung to a hope that they'd fuck up in the future so you could be right on the internet.
I don't doubt for a second he/they will make a bad mistake in the future. Everyone does. I remember Sammy, formerly of this parish, had a bizarre belief that VVD was actually really shit. He made a bad mistake in one game that led to a goal and Sammers was all over it... "See? See??? See!!!" Didn't matter that was it for the season, or that he'd been one of the best defenders in Europe before that. Sammy's opinion had been confirmed
And yes, Dier and/or Sánchez might fade from this hugely promising start, I've no idea. Or might just be OK. Or whatever, a bit up, a bit down. But I'm mystified as to why you wouldn't credit a fine performance unless called out but gladly predict "calamities are coming though"

Could you say we got an early lead, sat back & soaked up the pressure. Whilst challenging them to break us down.
"Generous?" LOL
Game 1: Harry Kane derby vs Pep's bazillionaires
Game 2: Nuno derby away in the oppos first full home game in 18 months.
+ All the off-pitch bullshit with Kane & Ndombele
6 points; no goals conceded.
Nuno's done a cracking job so far even though he wasn't even hired until half way through the summer and we've every reason to think we can improve further.
You say about other teams; but why would you assume that we can't play with "fire" and motivation too?

So why haven't you bigged up two outstanding performances? You surely would if they had been poor...
That pen was legit and we could have easily scored in the last 15mins.
I think it’s just a bit too soon Bill.
if he continues in this vein then I’ll give him props.
The portuguese connection
There wasn't really a challenge in breaking us down, they did it at will...but they were like a dog that chases cars, they hadn't a clue what to when they did it...
But the outstanding is the exception rather than the rule. Everyone makes errors (thinking of Allison throwing a couple in) and they are pointed out but Eric seems to have a serious mistake every game...I'm happy as fuck that 2 games have passed and both he and Sanchez have seemed ok...but he has to earn long term praise and love not be given it on the basis of 2 performances that were not shite.
Let's celebrate Dele's MOM performance.
Last year he would have been playing the Portugese or on the bench
