Couldn't agree more, take nothing away from the performance, but add a pacey AM between Pierre and Skipp, a forward such as Martinez and add a centre back and secondary striker (should Kane go) and along with Gil we would have an outstanding attacking side.

Blue Moon again. Winks had a good game....... apparently
"Agree with the hole in CM - winks and hojberg had the bite & coverage & Ferna couldn’t do what he wanted to do."
Winksy gotta be worth £120M. Pretty impressive that he could have that sort of impact from the bench...imagine what he could do on the pitch!Blue Moon again. Winks had a good game....... apparently

Loved everyone throwing in hard tackles and really playing for each other and the shirt. Liked how we didn’t try an play out of the back against their press. No way tanganga goes out on loan. I like Stevie but he’s got to be more clinical otherwise he’s not good enough to start.
Amazing atmosphere and energy today. I was doubtful going in but am now excited for this season. Long way to go but it really feels like champagne football is back.

Mendy was terrible.
Outstanding performance.
The quality of our squad was there to see and players clearly showing the manager that they deserve to be at this club. With new players coming in, every player is fighting for their spot.
The change in referee style worked to our advantage. Harder tackles we tolerated and clearly Nuno did his homework in this regard.
I do wonder if Pep will now put pressure on the referee's to 'protect' his players.
I was very impressed with Alli. Rarely joined in the attack and put in a shift in midfield; covering the most ground and the fastest average speed. He didn't try anything flash; he knuckled down and grafted. Of course, because he wasn't popping up in attacking positions he was getting some stick on here for 'going missing'...sigh.

Agree with most you say. There is and never will be champaign football. It is a long grind and we will grind the hardest under Nuno as manager. Hard work pays the bills.

Chucking a "pacey AM" in essentially changes the entire balance of today's 433 into a 4231.
Don’t waste your time with him
Boo hoo igula,
Stop crying like you know f all. Cause you don’t. Just enjoy a win. You miserable guy or girl!
A proper team performance. Very similar to an early Poch era team, winning by stamina and aggression.
Across the 4 home wins against City, they probably lost the most 50%-50% balls in this one. Very likely they were not as fit compared to us.
Dele, Son, Stevie and Lucas fitness were crucial in yesterday's win.

Well, I managed 13 negatives on this before the game. Love proving you folks wrong. Excellent pre season prep and team choice.
City weren't ready, too many players off on internation duty and their body language in the 2nd half showed that they were 'out of ideas'.
I am not crying and I am enjoying the win!
Posting "we got lucky" "we saw tons of problems" ... that's you enjoying the win? Remind me never to sit near you in the ground, I'd likely be suicidal before halftime.
I love that your Avatar now is Kane shaking Peps hand.
Yes I am not sure why being realistic about the game would change that I am happy with the outcome.
