Right in the top corner of the Fletcher stand. **** seat tbf, but funny as went with a few mates that are Cherries.

Good day out, but I was still hanging from Friday so had to drink on. Now I'm sat at work and feel like crying <wah>

I'll whatsapp a couple of pic over later of me being a dickhead.

Mind you I spotted quite a few other Liverpool fans in that stand. Locals that were born in the 70's probably.

Kante?

No chance, Fernandinho is better.

different type players. Not sure Kante would fit city though as kante is a runner and tackler whereas fernandino is not as fit and quick but is far more technical whilst doing the dirty work so fits into peps passing machine (kante can't control it as well or pass as well as fernandino)
 
lol just been on the spurs board (always like reading a match thread meltdown) and seriously, some of those views (not the boys on here, you guys actually are pretty sane) are unreal. my personal favourite

I'm seriously confused by the rules. Kane gets kicked in the face when standing fully upright and that is apparently only a yellow card. Dele gets to the ball before De Bruyne who is dangerously out of control such that when Dele slightly mistimes his touch on the ball and his foot slips over it it hits De Bruyne's ankle and the BBC thinks Dele is lucky to escape with a yellow. If Dele had been tackling De Bruyne I would agree with that verdict, but he wasn't. It was a loose ball and Dele got to it first. It was De Bruyne's lack of control that casued the issue

As for KDB vs Silva, Silva is obviously more of a legend as he's been a cracking player throughout his career whereas KDB is just getting started. In this city team though and as an individual, KDB is far better imo. His vision, his passing ability, his finishing and shooting as well as his crossing is far better than silvas. He can dribble and he's both footed too alongside his work rate. The only thing silva beats him at is probably the off the ball movement and his intelligence.

It was De Bryune’s fault that Alli tried to break his ankle <laugh>

There were a few contentious decisions in that game. On another day Otamendi could easily have been sent off, as could Kane, and if the ref sees that clearly Alli defo goes imo. De Bruyne also bought that penalty.

Fortunately the quality of City’s display made those calls a side issue.

De Bruyne is a wonderful player. The more I watch him the better he seems to get.

As luv alluded to, he’s like the conductor of an orchestra; he sees the big picture, the game unfolding in front of him - where players need to be. He’s always pointing and cajoling other players into taking up positions. His vision, passing ability with either foot, stamina, workrate, etc, etc make him the most valuable player on the planet for me right now.

Pretty much spot on. Both Kane and Alli were lucky to escape with yellows. But Otamrndi could easily have seen red too for reckless play.

yup deffo. Otamendis one of those (not like manes flying kick) where if he gets a red, theres not much of an argument and if its a yellow again its not something you'd argue.

He kicks up and harry dips his head (one of those grey area rulings where you wouldn't argue for or against). Just hoping City don't do an invincible though, the amount of bed wetting over Pep will be unbearable
