What a win!!

Well deserved too despite the slice of luck involved. We didn’t let that silly goal conceded spoil the effort we put into that.

Jorginho is definitely the best option in the middle with Rice for the time being.

The old “build up their hopes before crushing them later” gambit!

But I’ll take it.

Throwing in goals :bow:

I said to my brother, if we score first we win as simple as that. The most confident I’ve been of a prediction in some time. In my view we are a better side than them, we were better than them at Anfield…they have more strength in depth but our first team trumps theirs.

I pointed this out several games back.

Anyway a deserved win, missed a a few of our games as I am still annoyed we didn't even try to get a striker, but a nice way to be welcomed back.

I know. I really need to upgrade my phone.

4 points off Liverpool and 3 off City with a visit to the Etihad to come. We’re definitely potential title winners when you look at our big game results but it’s hard to believe there won’t be more stale performances to come where we struggle with low blocks and wasting chances.

Havertz also the best option up front imho, Konate got himself sent off trying to deal with him. Van Dijk got beasted by Martinelli and Saka.

Was also really great to see Martinelli back at his electric best. Opens up a new dimension for us up front if he’s consistently running at his opponents rather than taking too many touches and cutting inside.

Correct. We are getting results in the big games and that is the “Stuff of Champions ™”. But that’s not all you need to do to win titles, you need to be winning the routine games. Which we mostly do, that’s why we are “up there”. But the lack of a clinical options costs us here and there and that is probably going to deny us the title. I can’t help feel this result will benefit City more than us. But our tails should be up so I’ll probably allow myself to not throw in the towel yet.
