Not a difficult task when you're in the same team as Grealish.

Dont understand the hate for Grealish. Loves football and loves big titties. Plays like he's turning out on a Sunday morning. He gets a pass from me.

Pep and the City players took this match seriously. That's why he's the best manager in the world and why they're the best team.

We were knackered keeping them at bay but what was a bit disappointing was when they tired a bit and we had possession towards the back end of that game we made the wrong pass, didn't pass at all or overhit it. Long term we need to replace Burn as he couldn't overlap Barnes near the end and we need to look at upgrading almiron as he hasn't got a right foot or a particularly great football brain. Thought our South American players weren't particularly at it and Bruno's fluffed chance summed up his game. Schar and Botman were excellent.

If you want to win against Citeh you can't have any weak links in your team, and you need to take every half decent chance you get, or at least hit the target from every half decent bit space you get. Burn and Almiron are our weak points. We have Hall to take over from Burn eventually, but the next big purchase needs to be a top class replacement for Almiron.

Am not going balls deep here but isn’t toontl a maple syrup merchant? Represented by a leaf?  Likes HAWKEEY?? 😀

 

Aussie as they come. I know a thing or two about Canadians though. Did you know they prefer doggy style? That way they can both watch the hockey.

Agree with much of what you lot are saying. We were disappointing going forward but it's progress to keep it interesting till the end. I'll take it. I think the hype about finally getting a result against them was from people who haven't watched a lot of this City side. Even without their best player or two they can maintain a level quality above anything else in Europe. 

 

All our mids looked way off it. Bruno really needs to sort himself out in the final third, he's been so poor there for months now. Seems lost anywhere near the box. Miggy standing out like a sore thumb again, just doesn't have enough end product or a right foot. 

 

Is Gordon any good on the right? Putting him there Barnes on the left might be something we try soon.

Am not sure if that deserves an apology or not . I’ll sleep on it :)

Taking my huffy hat off, it's a sign of how far we've come when we play the CL winners and don't really turn up, and still manage to keep it to 1-0.

 

Aye, exactly. Liverpool next is a much more relevant test 

Edit: think Brighton away might be an even bigger test too.

These players would be the best players in most other premier league teams, plus they're eager to sieze their chance in the first team.

 

I'm not going to say I don't want us to get there one day, but the most rewarding point as a supporter will be somewhere between where we are and where they are. That's where I hope we get.

Just said exactly the same thing. 

 

Defended well on the whole, kept the bionic man quiet, had a couple of chances even though their press did for our midfield and our forward 3 didn't do much at all. Still only lost 1-0 to a truly exceptional finish. 

 

Just watched Liverpool's highlights on MOTD, fancy us against them, not least because Howe won't accept two listless performances from our lads.

Did you not just watch him petulantly rolling around moaning and constantly whinging and whining at the linesman and referee for not getting free kicks? I hate it when one of our players does anything similar. Big titties are good though.

I agree but  might change my mind if Diego comes up with a better summary.

Postecoglu has the look of a man who take a bit of small talk at the bar as an invitation to come sit with you and your mates for the evening.

Rebecca Loos wanked off a pig on national TV. Just something to think about on a Saturday evening.

 

A shocking way to talk about a National Treasure like Beckham.

Oh hang on that wasn’t on TV

For me, one of the biggest questions this match raised is- who is going to start the next match thread, now that Gemmill has blown his winning streak? 
 

 

I think whoever correctly predicts The Judge’s* minutes on the pitch for Al Ahli’s next game should do it. 
 

 

 

* ASM, because of how long he spends on the bench. :naughty:
