Bravo could have prevented all 3 of those goals. I will be disappointed if Thibo does that. what a brain Cescy has - before passing it to Alonso he was pointing out to pick out Hazard - immense footballing brain. If only he had fraction of his brain strength in his legs.
that KDB's miss turned the tide. We rode our luck - but we need that when Cahill is playing with that ominous touch
Agreed, we seemed to control the game more. Thats something Willian offers compared to Pedro, more possession of the ball. Was a cracking run from him as well. Personally i thought their keeper could and probably should have saved 2 of them (costas and willians). Just poor positioning and body shape. I think i would have preferred willian in the centre over fabregas and put pedro on the wings. Cahill and Alonso looked really poor defensively today. In these top matches they will be found out
Happy bunny!!!.... We were a tad lucky today,but who gives a ****!!.We missed Matic big time and for me Kante wasn't so good without him.Our defence looked shaky at times but up against Aguero,KDB and Silva.Maybe Luiz was lucky to stay on but thought he was fantastic AGAIN. COYB'S!!!
Glad to be proved wrong here! Thought we would lose this. City were unlucky on a few chances. KDB missed a sitter, and Luiz made some awesome blocks to keep us in it. But overall we did enough to win the game. Costa, Hazard, Willian and Luiz were all great. City kinda took a page from the Spurs book and lost their **** at the end, mental weakness! But we won an extremely important fixture, maybe the toughest of the season, City away! COYB!
Good Game Good Game. For us the down from the first half made the result sweeter. I think Pep's take after the match explains it pretty much, except I do think the ref and his team had a shocker but Pep can not say that, which I think is wrong. He also has to cover Aguero's arse when we all know he took matters into his own two feet. Again the ref has to take a small portion of the blame for whenever players feel hard done by to that extent. I don't think Citeh will struggle with out him during any ban. He is their best but they have plenty of other ammunition.
Take another 10 bob a week, perfect summary. I liked the way we fought like tigers when City were really putting it to us. Overall, we outplayed them with a couple of really brilliant moves. Cahill made a mess of that clearance, but he did plenty of good work as well. Luiz,what a different player his is now, tough, clever and on top of everything thrown at him ( or kicked at him ) !!! Not a match to criticise anyone for, another really inspired team effort. Conte has made teamwork and fighting for each other the core of our team, and all the better we are for it.
Well written Sir.......you were certainly absolutely right about Luiz's ability of marking Aguero out of the game.
