The first goal.
The corners he came for and missed.
The corner he punched straight down.
His inability to know when to stay or when to come.
He was very poor.

Improved today, I thought. We had some kind of structure, and created lots of chances. Not sure where the allergy to finding a man with a pass comes from, but GLC should be fit again soon. Davies was done for pace a couple of times, but much more solid and saved a couple of goals early on.
Reading through a lot of the posts on here after the game, I think we probably need to remember we’ve changed manager, and therefore style so the ‘win-ugly’ style is writ large for the next couple of months. If Kane was fit, we’re finishing another two or three chances and the game is over after 45 minutes. If Dier is fully fit (and FWIW, I thought he looked much more assured today - albeit can’t pass consistently), then a lot of the pressure comes off our back four.
Post-match, Sonny and Toby looked different in their interview - a bit like ‘that was hard, but we expected to win it’, rather than ‘that was hard, and we did well to win it’. The mindset is shifting.

Dele's telling him to get one of those Coronavirus masks
Toby to blame for both. He either leaves it if there is a shout or hoofs it if there was no call, not that stupid limp foot.
And Toby jumping under a ball....think I've been saying about that for 18 months now, eh Pipework?
Grealish's delivery for the 2nd from the corner was right into that kind of zone of indecision for keepers.
Most keepers, not Gomes though.
(No blame on Hugo there IMO)
Must be a league stat.... Lucas scored about 96min against Ajax.
yes, sorry meant in the league.
Even more fun fact. - He's also a useless Cunt..
We created 18 goal chances. How what does luck have to do with it?
where are all the Korean flags on a cold wet windy day in Birmingham
It's a synonym.
very impressed by his cameo. powerful, driving - if its a choice between him and Dier in CM I know whod id pick
One day soon we will take more of the chances and somebody is going to get a shoeing.
Laid down on numerous occasions like only an £80m lynchpin can.
For Christ's sake..... He's 3 games back from a lengthy horrific injury lay off.
Go back and watch the game where we beat Man City 2 0......Lloris single handed saved us from a drubbing and enabled us to go on and get the win.
I don't think its going out on a limb to say that had he not been in goal that day, the result probably wouldn't have gone our way.

I sat about 3 rows behind him at West ham, his hair actually leaves his head and comes back down when we score.
It's hilarious watching him.. A good lad mind..
Dier isn't on the pitch to drive us forward though....
He (as a DM) is there to shield the back 4 as our deepest lying MF.
(Big fan of what I've seen of Gedson tho'.)
