How do you pronounce it? Is it ni jar?

Yes

A word for Sarr. What an incredible work rate! Absolutely fantastic. Read something somewhere about him, but can't find it again. Was something like 72% of the earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Pape Matar Sarr!

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Yes

I always like to ask
I work internationally and always ask people how to say their names correctly
Amazing how often I get a shocked reaction because I’m on of the inky people to ask …

Actually not so much yesterday. Remember thinking Pep must have said something to Trafford at HT because there were several long balls in the mix, couple of which went straight through to our keeper.

Yeah we rattled them so much he deviated from his philosophy as he realised it was suicide against our press!

Interesting.
I saw a very different game to you, and thought Johnson worked very hard - the last 10 before he was subbed he was vital in doubling up on Doku. Kudus is excellent, but give Bergvall his due, slotted in well and actually created a very very good chance which IMO should've been at least on target.
I thoiught we were largely comfortable TBH, should've been three really (Lewis produced a brilliant piece of defending to deny Richy off Porro's second-half cross)...

Wasn't it Kudus working so hard to double up on Doku? Thought that was really impressive and important.

Agreed Bergvall did well. Good to see him slot in like that in a game like that.

Thought Johnson had a fairly disappointing second half.

Ref Trafford, when I say him I thought that mustache and beard were a bad disguise, now I know why.

Porro looks like a completely different player so far this season

Defensively solid and attacking well

Team is an excellent word for yesterday, we've not seen many team performances over the past few years

All putting in a shift and putting their body's on the line

Only saw the first 60 mins but from what I saw it was a confident, assured and comfortable performance and never looked under any serious threat. Was the last half hour any different? We really do own Emirates Marketing Project don’t we

 

[alekaras]

Erm, excuse me we won 4-0 there last season didn’t you know?

And that was because of pragmatic coaching in that game.

In the last half hour, if memory serves, the game opened up a bit. They had a couple of decent chances but so did we, It was a weirdly enjoyable experience.
