One of those games where the assists are as good as the goals. Delighted for all the scorers especially Díaz who was having a rough time from the referee with fouls against him that simply weren't. Ref was fairly good apart from that. Credit to Norwich for giving it a good go. Not sure about Virgil's offside goal, haven't watched it back.
Well i heard firmino was out and reckoned fabinho going off meant henderson would continue at no 6. Just surprised that milly didn't start at rb but gomez did alight.
Henderson was slow out so was probably just offside as the shot was struck. As it drops off him then it'd offside.
What was up with TAA and Robbo? Just being rested for the Leeds game and cup final? Havent seen any of the game other than the goals, obviously midfiekd was an issue but Thiago changed the game when he came on? Def think we all agree that more competition for first team player in that midfield is very much needed. Shame for ox as started to become a very good player before that horror injury and just not been the same since. At his age he needs to go and be a first team player for a kid table prem club. Got the result and puts pressure back onto city. Lovely goal by Diaz but also a brilliant run and pass to find him from Hendo, who has shown his leadership and ability on the ball in last 2 games now
Taking ox off, who either hoofed everything off or got robbed or pulled out of challenges certainly helped us. Actually bothering our arses helped also. But in reality they had a few that just flagged and once they started chasing the game the door was open. Salahs goal was them absolutely fast asleep
Ox was fine, please don't let the skewed view of some on here colour your view. Putting four upfront was the catalyst for change, once the first went in they fell to pieces. It was coming all game, had to wait longer than expected.
I thought Ox was okay too. He was trying to make things happen and worked hard too, just got unlucky. The change helped but Ox doesn't deserve criticism imo
He doesn't, but he's the new whipping boy for some, regardless of his performance he's ****e. ****e before, ****e during, ****e afterwards, doesn't actually matter what he does. Strange but thiago gets the exact opposite.
I'd love people to look closely at his performance. He delivered nothing, kicked ball away or got caught on the ball bit he jumped out of 4 challenges first half and that's not on It's not like I liked henderson arsing about back passing or two yard bullshit
He was OK at rw for salah. Scored a couple at the back stick and I've said put him in there as salah reserve. He was ****ing awful today at rcm. Keita also got some today, very one paced now. Hasn't the brush to go by the look of things.
Packing the house. Movers arrive on Tuesday but we're taking over what we can as we pack. Taking a poop break now.
just watched the highlights and thought we looked pretty decent for a rather thrown together team . Think Diaz has all the makings of a fan favourite .
