You know what I liked about Tanguy's goal?
He didn't faff about with a celebration. Shrugged everyone else off and wanted to get on with it. Need more of that attitude.

Anyone expecting any different from todays game is just someone who's expectations are a bit too high.
We dominated that game from start to finish. Bar the error in judgement by Rose for their opening goal, they barely threatened us at all. We saw a lot more of the ball (70% possession), had double digits for corners (14-0). We had over 4x the amount of shots they had (31-7).
It's the opening day. We weren't 100% at the races as you aren't going to be on the opening day. Up against a team who are back in the Premier League and willing to put their bodies on the line early on. I mean, Liverpool didn't look at their best yesterday against another new team yet came away with a 4-1 win and Norwich created a lot more against them.
Take it for what it is. A winning start. 3 goals to kick off the season. Kane starting the season on goalscoring form. A debut goal from our record signing and a promising performance by our new right back.

We didn’t pay all that money for Ndombele and give him a full preseason to sit on the bench. He is a nailed on starter.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Aurier, Skipp, NDombele, Lo Celso, Parrott
Villa plays a 4-3-3 so I'd imagine Poch will put out something like this. A 4-4-2 diamond (that sometimes looks like a 4-3-3 and sometimes like a 4-2-3-1). COYS
Was sat very close to the opposition dugout and someone behind me yelling "sit down Terry you racist CUNT" followed by John Terry noticeably glaring into the crowd was genuinely the highlight of the match before Ndombele scored.

Here, I've made them classy.
Utter bollocks, we WERE NOT outplayed in the first half at all. Their goal was a hoofball foot race and was well taken, not great defending but these things happen. We played the half at 60% pace and they just about kept their head above water by defending in depth and relying on the occasional breakout.
Second half was about moving through the gears and restructuring the formation. Eriksen made a difference and looked like the Eriksen of 2 seasons ago, but the tide was well on the turn when he came on.
Saying they were dominant or on top is hogwash, they only played as well as we allowed them to.
Coco dispossessing Grealish will be my GIF of the month then...
Get ya fucking mullet sorted kid.
