I think Kev would have made the difference against Wolves- all shit high crosses without him and the only game we've not scored.
Norwich, we scored 2. Lost cos of Stones and Otto

So if someone doesn't play at 100% that's okay? Even when we're losing.


Tosh Mase, read what Wooders wrote and digest it.

How many chances must these three up front screw up ?

Having said that Kun was desperately unlucky on Sunday , he came close several times to scoring- which Razza never looked like making .


Do you think Pep would accept less than 100%? When Pep came in he completely changed Aguero's game from just being a goalscorer to a goalscorer that works his bollocks off. That's our manager that expects that.

What's that got to do with what Wooders wrote ?

Because he was saying KDB deserves to not track back because he put a few decent balls in for players.

I'm saying Pep wouldn't accept that because he demands 100%

Can't tell if you're being serious now?

We created twice as more chances on Sunday they had 100% conversion. What do they say in the big games take your chances ! Sane would have added more firepower, which may have eased the load on Bravo and CO.

They didn't have 100% conversion. Bravo made a couple of OK/good saves to be fair to him. From the top of my head I remember a shot from Salah from just outside the penalty area + someone (Salah again?) spinning and shooting from short range.

I meant in the early exchanges which settled the game and was the winning margin. In between we missed sitters.
