Our second half performance was brilliant. We rarely see that level of dominance against City, especially under Klopp. Having top class technicians in midfield is the foundation for it - I am eating my words on Endo - he has been sensational, and Mac has been on a different level. Just need to get Dom back to full sharpness and that midfield will cook even more. To dominate that City team with 4/5 starters out is incredible. Yes, we should have won and taken our chances but we were also robbed of a stonewall penalty. I just dont understand how you cannot give that. It's either incompetence or corruption.
Don't forget Gross inexplicably not being sent off at Brighton when he dragged down Szobbo in the penalty box with no attempt to play the ball just as he was about to slot the ball past the goalie. And Virgil being blatantly dragged down at Luton right in front of the goalie. Another four points there.
De Bruyne: "Endo is a great person, it was raining so he gave me shelter in his pocket. I even met Enzo and Caicedo there, so I wasn't alone and we had a nice time together."
he couldt get over how lint free and clean that pocket was. pep was like "are you sure" and he was like man you could eat your froi gras off it
I absolutely love it when we as a collective fan base are disappointed when a Neymadge or an Mbarmcake aren't signed and we get an Endo - "who?" Then said underwhelming signing works his bollocks off and becomes universally respected. Endo was my MOTM, his intricate passing with AMA and Elliott really moved us up the pitch. And his tenacity and constant nipping at the best midfield in the world saw the best midfielder in the world need to be subbed out. Love it
Endo breaks up play so often, and his use of the ball is tidy and effective. He's a bit slow, and gets caught in possession sometimes, but he's learned to use that to win free kicks. Pity he's 31, and it's unlikely we'll get too many years out of him, but he's looking like a great find at the price.
When he leaves, I hope that Jurgen leaves us a huge bottle of star dust that he has repeatedly sprinkled over our entire squad!
Reminds me when Lucas was abused non stop for not being as good as Alonso/gerrard/mascherano when he signed as a kid direct from Brazil and after a couple seasons was everyone’s fav player.
Or when Borini was abused non stop for not being good when he signed and after a couple of seasons was only my fav player. Wait, hang on...
does anyone seriously believe the kdb that stropped as he went off last weekend and robbed at his manager for 5minutes is now "injured" so can't go on international.duty? as usual we will see players trapped the globe playing 2 games and 180mins while city pull players left right and centre. a player that's injured suddenly just for internationals should be given an enforced 2 weeks off after the break just to see how many would be fit all of a sudden
