The other games today 2018/19

MNF was fantastic last night.

 

In what way? I found it an awful watch.

 

Martial breakdown. I was shocked by his stats over a full season. Barkley analysis. Stuff we already know but the graphics and statistics drive the points home even further.

 

The Man City squad. Good points. Spurs debate at the end. They both make cases though I lean towards Carragher. Just felt myself nodding along with everything said last night.

 

Ahh ok, thought you meant the match itself.

 

Highlights what I like about Sterling with the goal he scored against us. He has a tremendous appreciation of the game. Off the ball movement, making a penetrating run. Gets the ball by the touchline pops it to a CM, darts as fast as possible into a goalscoring position against a deep defence and slots it in. Martial and Sane would've stood there by the touchline after making the pass.

 

When people say he's just an athlete I can't help but think they're being facile. He got a dozen tap-ins last season because he makes dangerous runs and gets himself a couple yards free in the box time and time again.

 

Preaching to the preacher here mate, Sterling's one of my favourite players, and has been for a few seasons now. He's proving how important he is to both Man City and England.

The route in the Carabao Cup would have been Stoke at home and Burton away to get to the last 8. Thanks, Mike.

 

Nah, we'd have drawn Arsenal or Chelsea away if we'd managed to get through.

Not the worst thing as far as I am concerned.

I couldn't stand the idea of him and his team of Smithers' trying to claim credit for a cup win. I'm not sure I could enjoy it properly.

We have literally never been good in the (insert sponsor here) cup. Even when we were good, infuriating.

 

QF is as far as we’ve got in my lifetime and I don’t think it’s much better going years back.
