I blame the rules of not flagging for offside. Of the flag has gone up then they would have stopped their run.
Actually do think the score line flatters us even though we had more chances (and we did). But they missed some aswell. At 1-1 it could have gone either way. And I do believe the Mings injury was on their players minds. Our fitness levels after 70 minutes killed then though.
Based on genuine goalscoring chances, it could easily have been about 8-4. Nice to see us bagging a few as that was a real concern for parts of last season.
Good job the match lasts a minimum of 90 mins then…. Seriously they were way off the pace , almost as if Bruce had prepared them! As for Mings, he wouldn’t have stopped our attack in the 2nd half even if he stayed on
I agree. I just think it deflated them a little. But our fitness levels in the 2nd half were ridiculous. They didn’t have any legs the last 20 minutes. What a bench we have to bring on now. Gordon didn’t get much credit as Tonali got it all but he was immense.
Yeah, Gordon showed lots of energy and looked very positive in his play. Even Wilson looks sharper again. They way he was sprinting to get into the box when Barnes scored, was way better than he looked for most of last season.
Yeah. And is that's how he might be used more this season (final 20-30 minutes as sub), then it should help keep him fit and fresh legged.
The levels are raised. That’s what quality does. Everyone around the new players have to raise their game. That’s progress. The club are doing fantastic in this respect. It’s modest progress aswell but aggressive. Which means the players don’t feel too challenged just they can raise their game.
He later said they were talking about the game, hoping for a good start to season etc, and that i'd told him about some people on the forum, and it was nice to meet. Me and magdad were just laughing about the whole situation of trying to spot me
Remember when people were crying about us selling ASM? Maxi wouldn't have had the impact that Gordon and Barnes did.
