Gallowgate Toon

The work he did with that 22/23 side was unbelievable relative to the ability of the XI that played the most (Isak was out for about 4 months etc.). Our incredible defensive record, the way he utilised Bruno, the Tripps-Bruno-Miggy triangle, axis of Joe, Dan Burn at left back An absolutely outrageous coaching performance.

Got to appreciate some of the class players we have on days like today.

There's absolutely no way that our service to Isak has ever been 'shit'.

Class

We owe them one.

Everything City do is chronically slow. I'd hate watching them every week.

His passing definitely hasn't been as good this season/the last little while. Pretty sure he's still high up in terms of through ball stats but feels like his weighting is off more than it was before. It'll come back. Looking forward to seeing a well-rested Bruno next season, tbh.

I'm not sure fatigue was the problem today. Felt like we lost tactical battles - we're quite predictable to plan for when you've got a deep squad. No Howe exacerbates that problem massively when it comes to in-game adjustments imo.

Felt like the exact same as at their place 2 years ago. Watkins dragging out to channels and winning the physical battle.

Good tactics from Emery, tbf. One of those games. Lose the battle but not the war etc.

Missed the gaffer big time here. Very passive second half.

Good, competitive half. Enjoyable game. Annoying goal to concede but we've done really well to get level.

Bruno deserves the chance to play with a bit more freedom/less pressure. We forced him to be Mr. Everything for 2 seasons (which he did very, very well imo); some of his touchmaps last season were absolutely insane.

Showing some really good cuteness to his game at the minute. Seems to have found a knack of breaking lines with cute passes.

Watching the highlights back and Bruno still doing so much (under the radar) good. Shame about that one pap through ball.

The midfield's interchanging movements are absolutely lush to watch. It's almost automatic.

That finish was absolutely unreal.

He's just so good.

Good game. Has Emery always been so cringe?

Had my hands on me head when he did that run at the end

Played some lovely, almost playmaker-style passes in the final third yesterday. Didn't know he had that in his locker.

One of the most emotional parts of the celebration footage is his reaction to the FT whistle, for me. He's such a cool customer who knows he's good enough to reach the very top, but he goes mental like a fan at that whistle.

Barring any freak injuries next season, he'll be seeing plenty of gametime and will be an extremely useful asset for us. Good player, just been awkward timing with him so far. I thought he was excellent on Sunday. Very brave & made good team decisions consistently. Flash might have to wait to get his place back.

Going back to normal life after the whole weekend has been weird for me. The whole experience was just so engulfing. I can't explain it other than I just feel different. I'm just meant to go back to work now rather than endlessly daydream & rewatch stuff?

Booed the shit out of it as well.
