The Round Ball Game - II

[EdgeleyRob]

Anyone else watching City v Foxes.... what about City's 5th - and Aguero's 4th of the match.... WOW and Goodness ....the Gods themselves fall silent over goals like that.......bow down...

Saw the highlights,pains me to say but them unmentionables are playing PlayStation demo football,De Bruyne is a genius.

Oh Sainty. So hard to concede early as I know from yesterday.

Perhaps the run of away games almost a blessing. Some winnable games up for grabs.

We are doing better away than at home Alison, so that is something. But this is a team with glaring weaknesses, and a tactically uninspired( and that is being kind) manager. We are going to have to guts it out if we are to avoid the drop. The annoying part is that we gifted them the first goal, and missed about 4 decent chances in the first half.

Klopp being on the wind -up didn't really help anybody's mood either. You'd think after being caught red handed tapping up last summer......

Luckily it was my week off, next up for me is Stoke.....

Jury out on the new striker? Not brilliant service today.

I happen to think he may come good, he looks bright and strong, and was unlucky not to score at the Hawthorns. Did well to get a clear header today, but misdirected it.

But we need goals , and soon. £20m ought to buy you a few........... fingers crossed.

Wish Brighton had held on at Stoke.

Juve v Spurs was a stunner! High skill, high speed, fiercely competitive... I never thought Spurs would come back from the early setbacks, but they ended up the better team...Eriksen and Alli were outstanding.
Wonderful spectacle. (I wish the two legs weren't so far apart though.)

One commentator thought it felt more like an FA Cup 3rd round game, such was its open-ness and attack-minded approach...
