Totally agree with this Mrs P.Jose is going about the build in the right way, starting from the back, concentrating on the basics, getting the mindset right in that we defend as a team and fighting for the win, one game at a time. He has worked wonders in a year that has been disrupted by circumstances that nobody predicted.
keep burning fossil fuels and turning natural vegetation into farmland - that will do itAbsolutely, I am into making deserts as the moment!
Yet DeBruyne saying he doesn’t know what the rules areDid anyone else notice, during the second half, Citeh players trying to chip the ball into our defenders' arms, to get a penalty? I know I did.
I said this sort of thing would happen when the rule change was announced.
Not just pathetic but completely and utterly shameful and inexcusable behaviour. We've needed a striker since the 1st of January this year, before in fact, and to still be without one at this stage is a massive failing on the part of ENIC, Levy and Hitchins.
Maybe the only solution is to sell Harry Kane and with the money buy new players including two new strikers!
Some choice cuts from AM:
Agree with this I love the way he is building it, certainly the west ham match was a game changer in terms of in game management.Totally agree with this Mrs P.
Those fans who are concerned about the current style of play need to realize that Jose is building from a strong defence and creating a winning mindset (with great coaching and shrewd buys)...once that is fully in place, I'm sure that we will start to see a more dynamic and expansive style of play (see his early Chelsea teams, his title-winning Real Madrid team and even his CL-winning Porto for examples).
One thing is for sure, we're going to win things with Jose and even though I loved Poch, we're a much better team under Jose and I think we're lucky to have him at the club tbh!

Yup I must have misheard.We beat them in February??
I still love Poch, and am so sorry we weren't like this with him in charge, Not a Jose fan still but it's the team that matters always. Jose will take all the credit, he saved our club!! He seems like a different person now, less arrogant and slightly more humble so I hope he won't make it all about him. Get well soon Toby. It's not long since some posters were slating him saying he was finished, shame on you COYSTotally agree with this Mrs P.

More LlorisWhen I was 10 and playing in goal cos I was a fatty, I remember being told to always come out asap to narrow the angle and create panic for the attacker.
Nowadays at 5-a-side when playing in goals cos I is a fatty, I just tend to lie on the goal line. Save way more than I concede let me tell you!
Dunno if that makes me more Ederson or Lloris
It’s cheating when tobys in that back four because his surname has every letter in the alphabet.Last time a back four had the same 3 letters in their surname?
Love bizarre things like that.
Neville mentioned it in commentary today but I have to agree that Ederson was total shit. He regularly makes mistakes against us, was awful for both our goals and was lucky a heavy son touch dudnt result in a third.
I read an interview I think with Lloris a couple of years back about how he was coached at spurs to stay on his line as long as possible in certain situations, to make the player make the decision (remember how he used to charge out when we bought him) Ederson always does the exact opposite. An difficult finish on the edge of the box for Son turned into an easy, roll through the keepers legs chance.
TLDR: Ederson great with his feet but total shit at actually being a keeper
I'm free on the 7th at 7.Brah, if you wanna go on a date, just DM me.
Why fix what's not broken?I’m a big fan of Hugo, but I don't think he should be Captain, that should be Kane.
