I was just saying how quiet Lo Celso was and he scored! From then on I really enjoyed that match even when at 3-2 down. Extraordinary game of football. How about the cross from Johnson for Kulusevskis goal? Top class stood up cross from classic wing-play..

Hey Gary. Hey Jamie. There is another way to play football you know. Your no risk / no entertainment football belongs in the bin.
No one including Neville and Carragher are saying to play no risk/no entertainment football. Everyone that is criticising including all the pundits and those on here, are talking about tweaks, not a philosophy change.

What we've learned from today is that we could basically put out a team containing Micky hazard*, Jason Dozzell and Paolo Trammazani and city wouldn't beat us ;)

No slight on Micky BTW, but the years (or maybe the pies .. ;) ) have not been kind to him.

I'm gonna grass you up to MH - He liked a post on mine on X Twitter a few days ago

Certainly wouldn't have predicted a Johnson left foot cross for a towering Kulu backpost header to equalise...

'Fuck off....'

/Swaggers away with blonde hair looking magnificent.
If I had any technical skills, I'd make a meme of that.
Like him walking through a smoking battlefield in slow motion, luscious locks flowing behind him...

I think we could lose by a lot and that'll be difficult to handle. Everyone wont be fine with it and the response to it would matter a lot. I understand the manager's plan and to proceed with the style regardless of opposition. I support that. That plan and front foot approach can win in general, but isnt at the moment for several reasons.

I think he's well aware that the honeymoon and new manager bounce is over. If we lose 5 or 6 on the trot, he'll know he needs a turnaround. A shellacking here followed by 2 more defeats will have an negative impact.

My concern about the 'free hit' mentality is that it's been telegraphed too much. We have flaky players and they are unreliable and dont need an invitation to not take responsibility in the set piece defending, 1 v 1 duels, concentration, organisation etc. I didnt really enjoy getting tonked 4-1 at home to Chelsea despite the 'feel good' bullshit that surrounded that game.

Good thing this didn't happen. :sneaky:

So angry.. lol

That's a bizarre call from the ref, and literally the only thing I can think happened is that he put the whistle in his mouth to blow for the initial foul before Haaland got up properly, started to blow it and made a noise but then stopped himself as Haaland got up, but realised he'd already made some kind of whistle and felt obliged then to halt play.

Fortunately all that happened was that he saved Grealish from looking silly as Ben Davies outpaced him and nicked it off his toe whilst giving him a wedgie.
