Criticism was fine, but a few made the transfer rumors thread nearly unreadable. You would have thought that it was the darkest days of last year given how gloomy some on here were. 

 

 

 

I commend them in a way, it's made Miggy's upturn all the sweeter

Hilarious goal. As renaissances go, we're now into Godfather (Joelinton) vs. Godfather Pt. II (Almiron) territory. Which to do you choose, the original or the sequel?

 

That's our seventh goal this season from outside the box, by the way.

You don't see it on slo-mo replays, but the corner routine that led to Wilson's second goal was magic. Miggy materialises on the touchline, Trippier passes it to him, Miggy brings it back inside a little while Tripps runs towards him at first but then dinks to the right whilst Miggy does that backheel. The replays only show the final ball to Wilson. But it was a clever, and very slick move.

 

Almiron offers so much more to the way we play than just his outrageous goals - his relationship with Trippier and Bruno is almost telepathic. That's what great coaching does.

This. And Wood etc etc etc. Some absolute undeserving cunts on here slagging off players that

a) were let down by previous

b) got us, miraculously, top4 form

c) have us, justifiably, top4

d) good enough for Eddie

 

Wankers need to fuck off and support Man City. ?

 

Amen! I don't get it either. Top 4 players, even the slightly more limited ones.

When everyone was celebrating Bruno ran back to the halfway line and was pointing at someone on the bench (Tindall?) as if to applaud them for coming up with the routine.

Think it was Purches. He does the set piece training.

MOTD Comms said his goal was a deflection???

I actually thought so too, but was confused as the flight of the ball seemed so sweet. So not sure basically, and especially not sure if it had much of an impact.

Biggest difference for me is that he is now not playing the safe option after missing/fucking something up. He's now confident enough to keep trying things when it doesn't come off. It's noticeable he's also not cutting back onto his favoured foot everytime he was played in, which was a big issue previously with me. Obviously Howe will be instrumental in this, but the fact that his support in play is usually coming from Trippier and Bruno is massive also.

It's definitely done him a world of good having Tripps and Bruno in the side, some of the one-two's he plays with Bruno are telepathic and Tripps always generates an option for an easy pass and/or to give him more space. Irrespective of that, he embodies exactly what this new style is all about with the constant effort and pressing. Battling against himself for goal of the month is still a bit out of the blue but noones more deserving of the plaudits it's generating than he is
