I think it's you who has missread ... i meant to back up Mo and Diogo in terms of goals ... to make that clearer for you ... to play alongside them and not sit on the bench to back them up.
It would be Bob doing the backing up im afraid if he wants to stay. He can negotiate with other clubs in 11 months time and no sign of a new deal. Same with Sadio who has been off his game for a while. No new deal that we know of on the table for sadio either. If you don't think we need a striker ... a no9 who can come in and score 20 plus a season every season then I think you need to get off the pipe fella.
It's time the front 3 was freshened up.
Highest scorers in the league.
Mo leading the scoring charts.
Salah and Jota also up there.
12 goals scored since Afcon began.
League Cup finalists.
City within sight.
We're spoiled.
Yes I agree mate. Plenty gone against us.
Var is a joke. This game is heavily stained and corrupted these days. But var might just be the biggest stain. It doesn't tell the ref to look at the jota pen at spurs or that big donkeys assault on robertson yet it wants him to look at that yesterday? It's a total farce and just another knife in the heart of a once great game ruined by money.
The ref made his decision yesterday ... he saw it clearly and it wasn't a pen. Just let them get on with it.
I've said it for along time. Var is we are having it should be the 4th official. If the ref isn't sure on the field he uses his communication device to tell the 4th official ... part of his team on the day to have a look at it. Or vice versa ... if he misses something the 4th official can relay to the referee to come and take a look. Everything should be handled by the referee and his team on the day.
And it was. When the ref saw the incident on his monitor, he changed his mind. All the VAR has to do is let him know, then show him the incident. It's up to him to make the call.
VAR is not a stain on the game, and it's not the worst thing that has ever happened in the sport. It's there to help the referee on the pitch, and 99% of the time, that's what it does. It helped us to win the league in 2020, and it helped us out during the week, and we've a League Cup Final to look forward to instead.
It's unbelievable that our fans, (and our pundits in the media) would rather we not have a penalty than have it, but that's where it's at.
Tell ye what I dont want to see, Jürgen interviewed with a happy head on praising the. or making excuses for that performance
Yes 3 points all that counts but that performance is not going to get us any of our targets
With all the players we have out, we just had to win the game by whatever means necessary. The performance doesn't matter very much atm. We have 3-4 players coming back for the Leicester home game, so hopefully the performance will improve. There's enough contact there to give the penalty, so we should be delighted to get it.
We've had many poor performances at that dump down the years. Even the year we won the league, it was a poor performance there. But we won that game, and we won this. It's wins like this that make the difference in May. Last week the gap was 14 points and looking over our shoulders at 4th, now it's 9 points with a home game in hand. We're back in the race. Now we have to keep it going.
