Fuck me, especially with the sunny weather that atmosphere reminds me of a late-season match where we're in great form and the fans believe we'll do something special.
The wonders that man has done...
He plays just a little differently i seem to notice. Yesterday he seems to be eager to exploit spaces and creating chances as oppose to what he usually did, distributing passes.
For that, i would have given him the mom. Eriksen is superb though.
What a performance from Dembele
Best player on the pitch by far

Functional more than beautiful yesterday is how I saw it*. But that's ok opening game of the season. 3 Points,2 goals and a clean sheet.
*I did have about 8 pints though,so my judgment maybe somewhat blurred.

Sure.
Stop embarrising yourself
good win, but felt Poch could have got Janssen & Wanyama on at 70mins after we scored second goal.
yes we may have got an injury and have had to go down to 10 men
could have got Janssen on for dele with Kane dropping back a bit
Its the one thing I feel Poch lets us down on (subs when we are winning)

Not quite as prominent are you lad? When we lose to City in a pre-season game you can't go a page without you pissing on the lads. We win in a game that matters and all is well in the world and you're not quite so dominant in the forum. Peculiar.

Great result - carrying on from last season - bigger test Sunday need to remember we are a decent outfit.
Ffs.
Poch is more qualified than you to make these decisions so wind your neck in.
People still moaning even after a good win. Wankers!
Would you like a 3rd edit?Ok
I'm sorry. I'll try and to better next time.
backtracking little cunt
Janssen (at the moment) is our only other striker, he needs match time, against 10 men may have given him the confidence he needs
Poch is not always right, look at Onomah "I'll not send him out on loan" where is he now (he's on loan) he needs match time to prove himself
Again, I think Poch is far more qualified than you to decide what Janssen needs. What's your experience - a few years playing football manager??
Yeah, I think I'll trust in Poch, ta.
Congrats on the three points, it was always going to be a tough challenge for us, but not made any easier by that stupid bellened Shelvey. Has to go down as one of the most pointless red cards I've ever seen. So petulant and thoughtless.
That said, we were incredibly unlucky yesterday. Losing 2 of our first choice defenders in the 1st half really disrupted our plans. Kane got the Alan Shearer treatment for his tackle on Lejeune. Guarantee if this was Mitrovic he'd have seen red. Tackle from behind, both feet off the floor, don't care if he eventually touches the ball it's dangerous and rumours are that it's broken the lads ankle. Arguably more dangerous than Shelvey's stupidity and that was deservedly a red.
That aside it was clear we set up to frustrate you and until the red we kept you to 2 shots on target and I don't remember Elliott having to make a proper save. After that moron got himself an early bath, obviously we were up against it, but we made a couple of chances and had Gayle been 100% he may have been more of a pest. I think the plan was to play Gayle for 60 minutes to ease him back, then, depending on the score change things up. Obviously with 2 forced changes and being a man down that plan went out the window.
You remain one of the best sides in the league and if you're not challenging for the title you will, at the very least, have sewn up a CL spot. For us, we'll have much easier challenges ahead and on that showing I think we'll be fine. Merino, Lejeune and Manquillo looked all right, Atsu looked very good, a fully fit Gayle will score goals. We'll end up 14/15th I reckon.
Hope the lads who made it up had a good weekend.

When did Poch said specifically he would not send Onomah out on loan?
I think it was wise to not throw Janssen in. Goals were hard to come by. They sat deep with 10 behind the ball. Putting him in would have only frustrated him and added another negative stat of minutes played v goals. Having said that; if we were still locked at 0-0 70mins in then I would expect to him on as I feel he offers another threat and with back to goal he could lay it off to others but 2 up and game wrapped then no point.
