People really expected Mo to miss a 90min deciding pen? Never in a million years, it's why he stays on the pitch despite doing his best to justify the Egyptian Pennant allegations
 
Salah is shit.

Is that 5 shitshows on the bounce now? Starting to lose count, fuck this cunt off to Saudi if the window's still open.
 
Like I said, they're fighting to stay up. Getting three points is not on the cards for them against us. It would have been mental if they did anything other than what they did today.
But that doesn't mean they deserved anything. They got everything they deserved. Nothing.
 
Nah I'd disagree with that. Their game plan almost worked perfectly, whereas ours was fucking abhorrent. Burnley definitely didn't serve to win, but they deserved something from the game
Exactly, City in their hey days had no problems dispatching these teams. They nullified any threat we had today.
 
Wirtz will take flack, but he was at least neat, tidy, competent and involved. When Salah is bad, it's like playing with an imposter.

I don't think Ekitike and Wirtz got their partnership right today. We need Ekitke to be more of a target man, staying central. He was getting frustrated and dropping deep into play, which shouldn't be needed in games like today.

Gakpo was our best attacker by a mile, but still lacks the acceleration and tricks to terrorise a back five. Ngumoha was able to push their defenders back into the box where anything can happen, he combined nicely with Frimpong, and the penalty came off the laters cross. Both should have been on earlier.
 
Wirtz did not cause concern. Mo. however was epitome of concern. We had another half a dozen penalty takers on the pitch. We didn't need Salah.
We have changed everything to accomodate him and so far he’s delivered fuck all.

Today was the type of game we bought him to create goals in and he simply didn’t.

Rio and Chiesa have had more impact than him. It’s definitely concerning.
 
We have played 4 games against opponents who were set out to defend.

The floodgates might open in Europe where we have more space to play.
 
Yep, thanks for clearing that up. Clown.
It's pointless trying to reason, he plays the game in his head, fuck the gulf in finances, they should have just played and made it easier for us. The fact they didn't fucks with his head and his well flawed theorising.
 
We didn’t really do enough to win the game, no one could’ve complained had the game finished goalless. The fact is it required one moment of stupidity and a last min pen to beat a fucking championship side.
 
Gakpo was our best attacker by a mile, but still lacks the acceleration and tricks to terrorise a back five.
I don't think he was. He was beyond repetitive just repeating the same trick over and over with zero end product. Rio was an immediate improvement and I thought Ekitike looked the most dangerous - though agree he should have stayed higher.
 
Salah was putrid but scored under extreme pressure (even more so after an awful performance).

The man is magic.

We’ve won 4 out of 4 and beaten our most likely rival for the title all while our best player and biggest signings either haven’t kicked a ball or done very little so far.

Hard not to be delighted right now.
