Super Kenny Monkou

Really pleased as my business partner is a massive Bees fan. To give sone perspective, a few comments on the BBC match thread about our style from people from Merseyside and they wouldn’t want to watch it. That result will stick in their craw as it is worth a lot more than putting 5 past a team that looked like they got out of bed 10 minutes before the game started. We need to improve but pleasing result!

Get in!

Well that really would be the acid test!!!

There are others. Ambrosinni from Vicenza, Sutton and Torres I would argue as they always played well against us. Torres had gone but the time he had signed. Maybe my point had some hyperbole but the disappointment with Ziyech is he has got nowhere near the level of performance he produced for Ajax against us. I thought a great signing at a great price but he is hugely disappointing and as Nobbly put in a post is is he actually any good?

Fleck would be my starter on this.

Another player in a long list signed based on one good game against us.

We certainly seem to be a team that needs to score first in a game.

Our record in Italy is terrible, do hardly a surprise. Big game Saturday now.

Ah I see there is a separate page for cup games. I am not into stats like you and your expected goals. I have to say I am genuinely surprised how much he actually played last year. it didn’t feel like it. I have just phoned a friend who supports Chelsea. He told me to tell you Pulisic is rarely ever fit, apart from last year of course! I am a big fan of his, just seems to play in fits and starts and doesn’t contribute like some of our past legends on a consistent basis.

He played less than half the games last season. So if my 5 games in a row is not accurate he still plays less than 50% of the games. He has rarely been fit for us has he?

He is a professional footballer. Pressure on ankles and hamstrings is part of the trade.

Do people still have faith in Pulisic? The guy is never fit for more than 5 games.

We were due to lose a big game. Bad day at the office and today Pep got it right and TT got it wrong. Only silver lining is hopefully they will stop talking us up.

I think you will be in a minority of one on this. Happy to see all the fringe players play. A big player getting injured in a Caraboa cup game doesn’t bear thinking about.

After the international break a 3 nil win is thank you very much!!

Get in!!

Good to put them in their place! Hard to believe they doubled us last year.

Ex Liverpool man misses as well!!!

I know it is only pre season but first time we have beat them in ages.

Still buzzing from the win. What can other London fans say to us now? Only negativity is Roberto Martinez comments on Rudiger. City fans have jumped on that bandwagon. This second win gives us so much credibility as a club. Let’s hope we build on this now.

If only we had our 2005 defence tonight!!

I am contemplating a 50 minute dog walk!!

I know we feel massive under dogs but we struggle against teams that sit deep. We will have plenty of space to attack tonight. It is a question of keeping them at bay.

A competition in which you seem to have suffer a lot of pain before winning it. Have City suffered enough pain?

First goal absolutely crucial. We definitely need to score first and they might panic and become disjointed.
