It’s incredibly difficult when you come up against teams like that - a horrible shitbag team who stick all eleven men in their own eighteen yard box and hope you can’t find the net
The good thing about this City side is that they are incredibly patient, and don’t play overly risky balls just because a few miserable ****s in the crowd aren’t entertained or shout at them to lump it up. It’s a sign of an incredibly well coached collection of very confident players who all know exactly what they’re doing. I think it’s fabulous to watch.
Should have been four or five really , and it would have been justice to send home such a dreadfully unimaginative team with a right good thrashing, but it is what it is.
Hamza was outstanding today - a far far better bet than Justin in that position. Vestergaard was magnificent - it was like this system was created specifically for him. Undroppable, in my opinion. Credit too for Casadei, Ricky P, Winks and Nacho, who were all a cut above. All of the wingers struggled a bit, although Yunus gets a pass because he had a clodhopping oaf behind him whose passing was always too slow and always behind him, meaning he had little choice to cut back inside rather than do whst he wants to do.
Whivh brings me to Souttar. He may well be a decent enough Championship defender for most teams in this league, but he is a squillionty miles away from being able to play our style of football. He was slow, he dwelt in the ball rather than move it quickly, and his passing was ****ing awful. Dreadful stuff, and really held us back today.
A special little word again for Ndidi, who came onto the pitch late and looked like a ****ing footballing genius. Yes he missed a sitter but, ****ing hell, his movement and runs were simply magnificent. It is astonishing to see, really.
Ten points clear of third with a plus 19 goal difference is truly extraordinary. What a ****ing season this is.
