MotM v West Brom

[nottsblue]

Cancelo. By a whisker. Gundogan immense as well. But as a team we were on it again. You can really tell these last 6/7 weeks we are together as a squad and team again and it shows big time on the pitch and in the work rate with and without the ball

As for Gundo I think he did deserve criticism for last season as I dished it out to he, Stones and Bernardo who all had lost faith in or were very close to.

Gundo was a bit different in that he was criticised when I saw him do pretty well, because some of what he does goes with less notice, but last season those things also declined quite a bit, buildup, keeping possession and his assists and goals had all but dried up. I was wondering if the injuries and age were finally catching up.

But I also suspect because he's not typically an emotional player and is so calm and "nice" that this rubs off poorly on the "louder" fans who love their Zabba, De Jong, Mancini or Mad Mario.

Firey characters on and off the pitch who are all in and appear to want to die and are aware of these fans' interests. Gundo is a quieter type and not like that so he will also be easier to go after by that group if things don't go well.

Bernardo got a bit of a pass because he showed himself to dive into the club with the trip to the pub during Centurions and the Liverpool guard of honour drink event all help his reputation.

Stones didn't play so much where as Gundo played so often and that is what riled up fans who also wanted a "true blue" like Foden to develop and felt like he was an annoying obstacle.

But times sure have changed and if we win the league due to these players' turn arounds it would be a great story and bring joy to us all regardless.

Gundo for me. This is one of the few games I didn’t lose it over him next to Rodri, I think because he and Bernardo played as more 10’s than holding players so it wasn’t as defensive as usual.

Gundo deserved the criticism he got last season because he showed us towards the end of 18/19 the levels he could reach. He’s back there now so he deserves the praise he’s getting.
When you set the bar high it’s very noticeable when you don’t reach it. And sometimes players need that criticism (within reason) to realise how poor they’re playing.

A great example would be Stephen Ireland reading this forum where someone said “I’ll drive him there myself”. The season after he was class, and said in an interview that seeing that comment made him work harder.

Torres MOTM for me. Peachy.

Started the ball rolling and put it beyond doubt, Gundo.

100% agree with BiB’s first paragraph.

Last night was a tough call many worthy contenders
But went for Gundo in the end , goals were class

[Sideshow Bob]

cancelo is the most creative attacking player we have outside of KDB.

We needed 2 votes each for this one. Eventually went for Gundo, but my God Cancelo is awesome.
