Boy they both know where the goal is but defenders can't put too many men on them cos .we have another 6 or 7 players who also know where the goal is. Loving this style of play Absolutely frightening for the opposition! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Not as sharp today. I was surprised Pep didn't bring on Àlvarez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poorest we've been this season I think. Even though we dominated we struggled to do anything constructive in their box and we were very sloppy with wasteful passes. I thought when we scored the opener that would be it but Villa equalized with their only shot on target. Yep, it was screaming for Alvarez in the last 15 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lino (rightly or wrongly) flagged and the ref blew the whistle BEFORE the shot was taken. This means the ball is dead and VAR can't review it. If the lino hadn't been so hasty with his flag (like they have been told) it would have gone for a VAR check and probably been given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Pretty much eased that last night. Yeah, Sevilla don't seem to be at the top of their game but you still have to go and do a job. Another brace by the monster, what a purchase he is turning out to be. Just think, we could have ended up with Kane for twice the price!! Pretty much all the players back to their impressive selves with Foden KdB and Haaland the slight stand outs. However, on a separate note, I was really impressed with Akanji's debut performance having literally just joined the squad a couple of days ago. Looks a great buy at 11 - 15 million. Also great performance by Gomez. Spurs up next 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I wish the Norwegian monster would play for my club, now he looks to set a new scoring record already this season. Only injuries can stop him now. At least I can enjoy watching him play for Norway this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 5 changes to sunday's team, resting Foden and KdB and was still a bit of a stroll in the park last night. Even took Haaland off at half time but not before he bagged a brace. No point in flogging him to death. MotM was Grealish who is continuing to improve and starting to look like a player near the value we paid. Got to do it consistently but showing massive improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand your views on Mahrez and Foden, I may not agree but I can understand. However, in Grealish case I have most definitely got to disagree. Just go and have a look at our last few fixtures and look at the player ratings. Jack has either been MotM or one of the highest player ratings over several games now. Wolves MotM. Copenhagen MotM and considering he has to contend with Haaland banging goals in for fun, any other team member getting MotM over Haaland in any game shows how impressive they played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention throwing coins, attacking the bus again and singing "lizzie's in a box" To be fair, I don't think "everyone" is crying about the chants. Just the scousers, you know, the one's who have been doing chants of this nature for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
