Indeed. Can't say I love ceding so much possession but said I'd take some pragmatism for winning football/trophies. Jose is a master at it and today he schooled Pep who doesn't seem to have much of an answer to such teams, e.g. LeicesterJust rewatching on MOTD, and I love that the first goal is as a direct result of Pep's rigid "we will beat you with football" tactics. I am not a huge fan of Mourinho's football admittedly, however, the way it exposed the weakness in Guardiola's footballing precept was a delight.
GTFOWe can't expect to keep winning though if we keep having to do this much defending.
Cry me a fucking river
On Foden.... I was nervous when he came on as he seems to be in excellent form. Did he even touch the ball?I hope this isn’t as disastrous as the 2-0 win last season.
That didn’t count as we only had two shots and scored them both, and they missed a penalty and 22 shots.
What a bad 3pts that was, I’d hate to win 2-0 again.
It has shades of the Southampton 5-1, where we should be ashamed because we only drew the first half.
Foyden is also one of the best young players in world football.

Well we are top of the league so I’d expect soBy the way, we have the joint best defensive record and have scored the second most goals.
In case sammyspurs has been too humble to quote himself from 11th November..... (what's the score on Thursday mate?)
