So they can say he hasn't scored in x games - so clearly he's going to the dippers or the filth.

Willy and Silva were great.

little disappointed in how little Kevin is scoring and assisting right now but the team is winning so its all good.

Pep had better not play Fern at fullback vs. Monaco.

Kevin looking very quiet. Wonder if he's being moulded to play deeper perhaps replace yaya.

Things I took from last nights game:

Willy was excellent.
We NEED fullbacks in the summer.
Silva is one off the best players I have ever seen...........yet he NEVER gets mentioned by commentators or the press.
Toure seemed very negative and nearly every pass was backwards which slowed our play down (Maybe a little tired after the run of matches he's played)?
Sane - Wow his pace is electric and he has come so far since his first couple of games for us. As mentioned there were a couple of times in the 2nd half where he should have ran at the defender but tried to be unselfish and pass........this will come with more experience.
Aguero just seems to be lacking something. Can't put my finger on it but he just doesn't seem that interested at the moment. Hopefully a run of games now will have him stepping up

FInally SKY is a complete and utter fucking joke! Some of the stuff Quinn, Carragher and Neville came out with is a disgrace. Quinn was trying to kick the ball in the net for Bournemouth at times!
Trying all they could to say that the ref got their disallowed goal correct but had no right in doing so as he wasn't looking. I don't give a flying fuck how they get to a decision as long as its the correct one......yet they spent 10 minutes at half time talking about it!

Chelski will be bricking it now!
Fingers crossed for JESUS!

Agree with all that.

Aguero has lost that burst of pace hasn't he? At some point in your playing career you lose that sprinter speed you had as a young man - with the one exception of Navas, for some reason.

I don't think he's showing lack of effort. Maybe a slight lack of sharpness but I'm sure he'll be banging them in if we can create the chances, if Jesus is out.

I'm afraid watching Aguero follow Jesus was like dropping down a level or two. Who would have ever thought it?

Very sad, but very true.

If Sergio has lost that burst of pace, he needs to re-think the way that he plays as, after all, he should now be in his prime. He's got the experience, physique and footballing brain to be able to do this and I'm sure he will. He's still a wonderfully potent goalscoring threat but he just needs to re-assess how he goes about things.

How do they determine that Kun's touch wasn't on target and deflected in off Mings?

If Sergio doesn't get the goal then he should get the assist, right?

I was waiting for SKY to say Kun should have got a red card for having the cheek to beat the defender to the ball.

Can anyone on here honestly say if that would have been Wiggy instead of Aguero there would have been any debate at all about who scored it!

Who gives a fuck about Sky.
That was the kind of strikers goal I've being crying out for him to score for so long, my young lad is sick of me.
He was hiding most of the game up until that and then he gets in front of his defender in the six yard area for a toe poke.
He made up the hard yards to beat his man to it. That to me is the class of a true striker, not just belting one in from the edge of the box
every twentieth attempt.

Kun's goal. End of story. There's no way you'd take that off any other striker in history.

Nail Bin, made some comments that made me LOL Stones has an outstanding pass completion, NB, Of course he has, anyone can pass it backwards and sideways. Keep it up Nail, not long before the club listens to the fans and you are binned from the HOF.

Sergio will be absolutely fine. Yes it seems he has lost half a yard but he has a track record of taking a while getting back up to speed after not playing. If he gets a run of games he will be shitting goals again.

Ive seen loads of posts in the past writing him off quickly. Hes a class act.

Kun is lacking something, yes, but if one player deserves time on the pitch it's him. One of very few totally world class players around in this country. Let's get him firing. He's utter class, is all.

Btw, Silva. What a player.

it does seem that way. there have been multiple times over the last few months where Kev is dropping really deep to collect and then trying to spray some passes all over the field. he won't ever be a holding midfielder but it does seem like Pep likes him to come deep in his system, which might be way his numbers this season pale in comparison to his stats from last season

Totally agree. He's played 20 minutes of compatible football in the last few weeks and will need a couple of games to get up to speed.
