Watched the game live last night, was a bit disappointed that we didnt put 3-4 goals past them, but hopefully we’re saving them for city this weekend!
I thought connor bradley was mom, just beating szobo whose been a power house this season and deserves all the plaudits. Been complaining about gakpo for some time now, hes powder puff off the ball! Wirtz showed what weve been missing since diaz left… grit, hard work, strength and power(just lacking the pace and skill)! Robertson back in defence has also made us solid again!
Now unfortunately some of my worries… we need a replacement for konate! A couple of times the ball was kicked in the air towards him and his control/clearance put the team in danger! I know, i know a lot of you are banging on about tactics, and im sure youve got a case! However, this isnt Sunday league pub football, we have a continental manager managing worldclass international players on the back of winning a league title, you dont get there with random tactics! I believe weve been let down this year by poor finishing and defensive mistakes. The most culpable being kerkez, konate and salah. Konate is still a major worry for me and the club has to buy another world class defender in the January transfer window who hits the ground running for us to succeed in winning the title! Mickey van den ven at tottenham is one me thinks.. but someone of that calibre!
Great result, just need to get a win at the etihad and then the international break will hopefully help get our injured players readied for the tough winter schedule ahead!
