The press was what I love the most. The team working together is the very least we look for and it showed how important it is. Wish Sonny would improve his press and look to pass to Deki a bit more rather than just Kane. But what a really good performance.
Tbh I think Romero sort of *did* need to make that challenge. He was very close to getting the ball and it was one of those old fashioned challenges that lets the opposition know he is there plus set the tempo a bit. The second one was just one of those things and he couldn't have Grealish running in. I actually didn't get too critical of him yesterday because it was a game for a bit of blood and thunder. It might just be me though lolYeah Emerson was a monster yesterday. Didn't give Grealish anything, it was a great battle. Deserves all the plaudits and hopefully the boo boys will now STFU and support their players. MotM. PEH was also a standout performer. Kane....what else can be said about the man? A joy to watch.
Romero...oh Romero. I know he's everyones golden boy but that was a completely unneccessary red which shouldnt be overloooked. No need whatsoever to make that first challenge. He makes at least 1 very rash challenge every single game. Defended great for 90% of the game but needs to learn to stay on the edge rather than stepping over it. Having said that Haaland barely had a touch all game so our defensive unit did a great job on him.
Crowd were amazing. Stadium was rocking.
