Comically shit performance from us, we’re reminding me of Mancs last season. Genuinely couldn’t believe what I was watching on those counter attacks. Salah and Firmino were actually trying to give Huddersfield the ball back, the one where Firmino went to Salah on the right with Shaqiri in a fucking acre is one the worst decisions I’ve ever seen on a football pitch.

Bobby doesn't do sub appearances. He's the anti super sub

Yeah, it was unbelievable how bad those counters were. Like the Monstars from Space Jam decided to steal their abilities instead of basketball players in those moments. 

 

Can't talk about that though because we won and it's whinging. 

[chrisbonnie]

I must be in the minority. 

 

I don't mind the fact we're level on points with the league leaders. Or the fact we've only conceded 3 goals so far, or the fact we're still unbeaten in the league even though we've played Chelsea away and spurs away. 

 

At this time last year we had been bummed by both City and spurs, had shipped close to 20 goals and some knobs were doubting the manager. 

 

Ok, the performance wasn't great today, but we won. 

 

And fuck City, who have they played yet? Apparently 4 of the past 6 promoted teams 

 

Let's worry about them after they play Chelsea, utd and spurs. 

[Stickman]

We'd have lost that last season

I honestly don't know what's going on with both of them at the minute. They looked like they'd never played with each other before

[Jairzinho]

We were shit, thankfully they are shit.

Yep 

[Em City]

That was a lesson in how not to counter attack. Incredibly sloppy performance.

[Stickman]

I know we were not great but I hope people can enjoy the fact we won and are joint top tonight. 

City look a class above everyone but we are still in there and if we click who knows ?

meh, ugly win on the back of a stupid international break.  You'd take it every week.  We're going to have to up our game at some point though or we're gonna get caught sooner or later.

 

That minute of panic Lovren caused at the end is why I can't wait to see the back of him.

 

Didn't stop City wiping the floor with a far better team than Huddersfield

I'm sure we're all delighted but when you're unbeaten on 24 points from 9 games, you'd probably expect to be bouncing but we have to be honest with ourselves, we've been no better than average this season. It's hard to get too carried away when you're scraping 1-0 wins against teams like Huddersfield. It sets us up nicely of course but we still look miles behind City 

[Harry Squatter]

Frustrating watching us as our final passes have been very sloppy not just in this game but quite a few. 

 

Fabinho looked useful when he came on so hopefully he gets more game time from now on. Seems we are still.trying to find a balance between our all out attack from last season and our new found defensive solidity. Can't complain where we are though. Hopefully Cardiff think they can attack us next week after they won today. 

[clangers]

Can we drop this 'joint top' bollocks, we're 2nd on goal difference. Great place to be at this point in the season but still 2nd. If the season ends with us on the same points as City but an inferior goal difference we won't be 'joint winners'.

I liked Lovren better when he was injured.

 

Only time I've seen him contribute to the team in a good way...

City have a squad of two quality first teams bought for well a fucking fortune.  We're not comparable.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Thought our midfield perked up and was much more lively when Wijnaldum came on. 

Good to see Studge get 90 minutes too. 

 

Nowhere near the dizzy heights of last season but equally, nowhere near as shite as most of the doom-mongers would have you believe. 

 

3 points and onward we march. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I followed it on Bet365's 2D overhead pitch view live feed and we were bollocks on that too.

My point which is why we are not going to finish ahead of them regrettably 

[Trumo]

Another disjointed display. We weren't unduly threatened but Huddersfield did have a couple of moments in our penalty area. The first resulted in a fairly comfortable save for Alisson from a Depoitre header, and the second was when Mounie ballooned a very good opportunity over the bar.

 

Attacking-wise, it was a poor final ball that frequently explained why we didn't score more than once. Firmino chose the wrong option when we had a 3-on-2 and played a hospital ball anyway, and Salah failed to pick out a well-placed teammate on a couple of occasions. Lallana ran around a lot but wasn't on the same wavelength as others. Sturridge never got into any threatening positions. Shaqiri worked very hard and got an assist. Salah actually did a lot of things right with regards to his movement, not least for his goal, and rolled another chance wide in the second half. With him it's the end product that isn't quite there yet.

 

It's one of those games where you know you aren't quite at 100% because of the international break, injuries and some players not hitting their stride yet, but you ride it out and get the result.

Why must you be in the minority?

[Aventus]

Last season we would have drew or lost that and you cunts would have complained less. 

 

First team in history to concede just 3 goals in their first 9 games. 

 

Still undefeated. 

 

Played all the other 3 teams making up the top 4 and even they couldn't beat us. 

 

The other 3 haven't played each other yet either, so they'll take points off each other soon enough. 

 

 

Fuck the haters.
