Am I the only person in the world that finds Drury annoying?

Think Alisson is unfortunate on the 3rd, touch from van Dijk absolutely kills him.

Liverpool have been poor today, looked really sluggish first half and then made three attacking changes that still didn't really get them into gear but left them really exposed defensively too. Don't think Arsenal have been anything more than functional either but they've been given 2 goals and seen the job through.

No he’s like the character that Alec Baldwin played in Friends for one episode

 

[jd1981]

To add surprised he doesn’t refer to a thrown to the miracle use of human hands.

 

[ROVERT47]

Not a fan of either side to be honest, good result for Citeh.

 

[Jack Regan]

£100 millions worth of defenders, concede a goal from a straight goal kick down the middle of the pitch.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Maupay is such a tink.

Exactly what Spurs should be doing to protect Vicario though.

 

[jd1981]

City should be about 5-1 up.

 

[jd1981]

Not sure I’ve ever wanted an underdog to lose as much as Brentford.

Funnily enough, I was saying to someone yesterday, that with how tactics have gone recently, with all the 'playing out from the back' and ' the high press', when someone is going to go with a big centre forward 'target man', plus one or two nippy forwars to play off him, and two big central midfielders, and keep going 'route one from the keeper/back four.

Probably works once or twice but easily resolved.

 

[Jack Regan]

Complete mess of an equaliser from a Brentford perspective. No need whatsoever for Pinnock to head that.

 

[White Wolf]

That City goal was a matter of time. Brentford defensively seem quite lax, there's always so much space available.

Debateable that tbh.
Im not advocating it but I can see it happening. Just needs someone to assemble the personnel to make it happen.
Two things thats puts the fear of God into you as a defender:
1:Speed
2: Physical power.

Maupay just isn't wired up properly

 

[Wolftone]

The Brentford goal is brilliantly worked. Great awareness from Toney and Maupay.

Nah at this level it’ll be spotted very quickly, as said it’ll work once not multiple times simple tactics generally have a simple solutions.
City have got pace and power in their defence also

 

[Dire Wolf]

I'll just leave it here: Ivan Toney is a massive cunt.

It will be spotted. Half way through a season. And teams like Man city will be moaning at the refs for allowing it.

Certainly has a lot to say for himself.
