Nonsense I would have been angry at our player for such a stupid dangerous challenge and accepted the fact they deserved to be sent off. I dont see how anyone can defend it

Edit the majority of people on here would be saying how stupid and reckless aurier for example is if it was him committing the foul

Sandro,Capoue,Chiriches,Wanyama all players who pushed that envelope and often got injured because of it too

Unfortunately the Kane factor distorts the goals scored problem.
But I suppose if you don't concede then you always have a chance at the other end I personally would not be adverse to a few 1-0 wins until we get the striker situation sorted.

Really happy with the win, and the game wasn’t without positives. But we were so lucky, we could hardly get the ball in the first half and couldn’t string 3 passes together when we did. If City had their shooting boots on we could have lost by 4 or 5.
Luckily , Chelsea aren’t much better, Utd and Arsenal are even worse so we still have a chance but I find it painful watching us get so outplayed at home .

Credit to Mourinho for throwing Stevie into the team right away.
Yes normal procedure is 18mths of prep work before you enter the team
It's not a fair comparison. Previous recent signings have been injured at acquisition or shortly thereafter (Sessegnon, Lo Celso) or out of shape from not playing (Lucas, Ndombele). We just signed Bergwijn in the middle of a season when he's been playing competitive matches every week for several months.

David to be fair mate I was exaggerating a bit it's part of my sense of humour but having said that the quick integration worked well today and I'm pleased for the boy and the team.

Absolutely, I think the key for the short term is building up that understanding within the midfield which for me has vastly improved over recent weeks and we're seeing more defined roles, Winks isn't being asked to change his responsibilities on a game to game basis, Lo Celso isn't needing to be played out wide as much to accommodate Eriksen. We'll see how Jose fits Dele and Ndombele, it'll be interesting but with that amount of quality in the middle then those up top will get enough chances where Kane was used to having to do more with less.

I hope we work on building up through the midfield so that we can supply the forwards the kind of balls they can work with.

As soon as we send the ball into the air we are making the game physical and we ain't gonna do anything with that.

I think we are starting to morph into a Jose side where as you said everyone knows their roles there is nothing wrong with solid defending which we are working to.
Yes we did ride our luck a bit but once we can sort out the up top situation and bring a few more in I think we will go toe to toe with both Liverpool and city on equal footing.
