Disagree a bit here. We had some individual errors that led directly to goals but our general play was good up to the sending off. We caused them problems and on a different day could have been 2-1 up. The formation and tactics were not the problem.
Absolutely this.
I'll be honest, I'm completely baffled by the outrage here. It might say 4 nil but anybody who watched that tonight will by no means think they embarrassed us.
Thrashed will do for SS. Now the reports will come.
We played well, what we would expect, but as a manager you have to play to your strengths or change the players?
How do you change such players in October - January?
But why aren't we changing? That game proved to me that the manager isn't able, or willing to change, unable to adapt to the players he has.
We'll just have to wait for the right players, which is an issue for me.
I don't see much of a problem myself. We need new young full backs and as much as I love him, somebody to do fernandinho's job. We really should've been in for kante.
But we've got aleix Garcia coming through and I reckon he'll be starting next season. Plus we'll get a few more in.
I don't know mate, I've just never felt like this before. Ignoring spurs due to the fact they done us good and proper, the games of worry have been Celtic, Everton and tonight. All three we didn't get the result but I watched them and saw something in a city team I've never seen before and I can't help but feel immensely positive about where we're going. I haven't felt this since when bobby took over.
Maybe I'm a tit by looking at the long game. I knew pep would be given a rough ride and tbh I wrote the season off before it started, seeing this as the beginning of something completely new. From what I've seen, everything fucking excites me, everything just feels positive.
That tonight was like the opposite of when the rags got knobbed there 4 nil in the 90s. That night they were destroyed and embarrassed whereas we put our best performance in against Barca but luck fist fucked us. Not long after the rags became the top team. I hate to draw parallels but I think tonight will be the start of us finally growing up in european competition. I honestly don't believe we'll see a result like that again.
Anyway, I've been on the beers. Feel free to ignore me. I'm a blue drenched in cynicism after growing up through the shite the 90s offered. What I see tonight is excellence with faults. A far cry from where we've come from.
