I know we used to moan alot about Henderson in the role, the ball bouncing between him and the defenders. Lala, should be able to take the ball on the half turn to get us moving forward
Good prep for the season that. Shocking first half, very good second. Forst half gave the team kick up the ass they needed. Now lets start the proper season
Oh well. Pants in the first half, a lot better in the second. Both sides should have scored more. Roll on Friday.
Good entertaining game, we showed in that second half that we can boss Citeh for long periods. Best two sides by miles, the proper stuff is 5 days away
Funny thing, and again I dont want over state the importance of just one match but over the 90 minutes by the end city where all over the place, we could of won handsomely in the end,
Much better second half, definitely take confidence from that. Wijnaldum never looked confident about that penalty. Nor did Lallana but his dribbled in.
I don't particularly care if we won this or lost this (it was about how we approached the game), happier with the 2nd half, first half is a cause for concern. The midfield should have been looked at this summer and I fear Salah, Mane and Firmino might suffer later in the season without much cover. I still think City will walk the league, remember they played Bravo and Stones today and without Aguero
Really hope we can add a midfielder who can score goals and has the ability to score from outside of the box, to give us that extra outlet. And another attacker who can slot in on either flank. Positives to come from today.
We had two cleared off the line, hit the post twice I think and had numerous good opportunities. I never once was worried about city scoring.
That was a good game after adjustments made in the second half. Created very good chances and should have won it at the end. We could do with a breakthrough season from Brewster and Origi. Need as much cover for the front 3. The competition in midfield will push up a few levels IMO.
If City remain half fit for the rest of the season, then we have a good chance. And crikey, how many chances does Mo need nowadays?
Wasn't clinical but just remember he has only played 30 mins of pre season football. That is ridiculous considering how he ran city ragged
