Big chance for Son that.

Game over

What a shit day. Penalty missed by WHU and now a 'Massive' deflection puts this beyond Spurs.

We won, who cares?

It’s not been a bad weekend though. At least city dropped points.

We won, City drew. Spurs losing. Everton hammered.

I'm ok with that.

Werner does a Werner.

 

[DHSC]

Spurs suck.

 

[binomial]

I think Spurs are a bit shit.

 

[MomoWASright]

Burnley in 19th is nice to see. Especially after giving that gravelly dinosaur a new contract.

 

[Frogfish]

We won, who cares?

Because 'just winning' isn't enough. I want the title.

 

[Red Bird]

I think Spurs are a bit shit.

Full of average players. I can see why Kane wanted out.

Let's see what this front 4 for PSG is all about then/

If we just win the rest of our games, guess what else we win?

Messi hits the bar from a 25 yard free kick,

Should have 2 already.

 

[Hansern]

Touch of Sterling against Everton

Decent Virgil esque pass by Hummels.

Fair play Poch man, Messi anonymous 2nd half has to be said.

Elsewhere Valencia top of table as it stands, some kid on his first start has put them 1 up at Madrid.

Icardi wins it for PSG, tough on Lyon because they'd defended magnificently.

Unreal cross by Mbappe who clip it to him at the far stick.

Ouch….

Come on mate. Get real. As if. We all know we need contenders to drop points.

Personally I never get this 'tough on ...' , 'deserved a point' etc. for a team that spends most of the match defending and has barely a rare attack. The team attacking for the majority of the match deserves the points.

 

[Hyena]

Ouch….

Missed the most relevant statistic though.

1st - Games won against Manchester City

Not sure I agree with that last part, if a team has say 20 good attacks to score and only manage to score 2 they're wasteful...if the other team only have 4-5 attacks all game and score 3 they're clinical thus deserving of the win.

Impossible to say just using a statistical example. Of those 20 chances was there outrageous bad luck? Magnificent goalkeeping? Of the 3 goals scored against were there wild deflections? Undeserved penalties? Unlucky slips?
Just using statistics I'd have to go with the attacking side, though there may be exceptions (for example any time United were to lose).

 

[King Binny]

At 25, will he be someone we continue to monitor?

 

[Hyena]

It irks me that we didn't go for him when he was tearing up the championship and available for 18m

Fast forward one year and we are talking about a 30 to 40m bid. Sigh.

 

[dmishra]

Meh, Bowen doesn't cut it for me. He's an underrated footballer, but he doesn't have the high-level technique needed to be an absolute top level player. He'd be a tier below Salah, Mane and Jota, and that's not the kind of player we should be targeting for our attack.

The kid at Salzburg now - he looks like a serious talent.
