That’s goodJust broke the record for most consecutive league wins too.
(something Guardiola holds in every league he's managed in)
The best description I could make of him is that he plays like a youth product making his first couple of appearances.Recall Onomah and sell Sissoko at any price to anyone fool enough to buy him. He offers absolutely nothing. Whenever someone passes to him, wherever he is on the field, you wish it was someone else on the ball. That's an awful thing to say about someone in our starting XI
Ive been waiting for Lamela to return so looonngg. Explain to me why is he not taking corners? Is he lost it? Is everybody just forget he is our best taker?
Also for the second goal, never imagined Son would score a goal like that. Did he and Eriksen talk about it? Or is he just tired of Eriksen setpieces never get past first person?
This whole game is painful too watch. I enjoy game against Leicester a lot more. But yeah 3 points anyday.
The entire team seems like they are already cautious for a Citys counter attack.
One thing is for sure, if Kane played like he did tonight on Sunday we stand no chance. Our defending looks shamble too. Cant believe this is the night we finally get another clean sheet.
Dele plays really well, bringing that urgency and vision into the game.
Now, which fullbacks do we play against City?
He was blowing out his arse in the second half. At one point he watched Dele isolated by himself in the top corner then stood by as Brighton broke... was pretty annoyed at that.Rose was a fat lazy shit today btw. Fuck all running. Fuck all movement.
I’m probably being harsh as it was a difficult match and the whole team strugggled at times, but there’s none of the zip, energy, pace and enthusiasm that made him so critical for us over the past two years. He does still look like a fat shit.He was blowing out his arse in the second half. At one point he watched Dele isolated by himself in the top corner then stood by as Brighton broke... was pretty annoyed at that.
Let united have him for an insane amount and make Davies undisputed #1He was blowing out his arse in the second half. At one point he watched Dele isolated by himself in the top corner then stood by as Brighton broke... was pretty annoyed at that.
That’s good
He could afford to leave an on form goal scorer on the bench at Barca and freeze him out.
Last year his defence wasn’t up too much so he goes out and purchase the best full backs in their respective leagues for £97m lus a back up right back for £30m and £36m on another keeper. Despite not selling Hart or even Mangala ( who they paid £25m for) . Oh the joy of not having to shift before you buy.
Despite goals and creativity not really being a problem, he also goes out and buys One of the best AM in Silva for £45m plus still have the cash to buy a couple of promising kids for £20m and loan them out
He’s a decent coach but he’s a top team coach. I would be too my life savings he couldn’t do it at Liverpool.
He’s a giant coach like Mourihno, butnwith a better philosophy.
When you think Pellegrini won a title in his first season spending less than Pep he failed dramatically last year.
He just spent until he got it right. If he had to sell to buy and had a wage structure he’d struggle.
He wouldn’t go to a club who weren’t in the elite of their leagues or have the financial clout.
his rep would suffer.
He has a one in 3 chance of a title with City yet has a financial advantage. Even over Man Utd.
Walker will probably win a league title medal this season. He probably wouldn’t with us
Is he suddenly a better RB than he was last year. Has Pep improved hiim.
Like Pep, he now has a better chance. Why, lots of quality players, why, more money to buy and pay.
I also hate to say this but I fear we are going to get a spanking by City. Dier and Vertonghen won’t cope becuase we won’t have enough in midfield to stop them getting behind.
I haven’t seen the same tenacity from us this season the players haven’t been all fit and together long enough. We have been sloppy a lot too. IMO the only chance we have is to sit deep and hit on the break, but it’s not Pochettinos style.
You never know with this team though.
He didn't look happy, that's for sure.I’m probably being harsh as it was a difficult match and the whole team strugggled at times, but there’s none of the zip, energy, pace and enthusiasm that made him so critical for us over the past two years. He does still look like a fat shit.
Agreed. He wanted to be right back at it. Wanted that first goal back. It'll comeIn better news, I thought Lamela looked properly up for it. Great to have his energy back in the squad.
Anyone got sky sports app go to the report on usThe other day it was said on Sky thatbSpurs can’t win ugly, A sign of a good team......
Yet the narrative on the Is result won’t be Spurs win ugly, grind out a 2-0 not playing thier best and that’s sign of a good team
Madness. We need two good fullbacks on each side.Let united have him for an insane amount and make Davies undisputed #1
