Wonderful day..wonderful match . The very definition of the roof coming off when Sonny scored . We've been through a bit of shit recently and that made it even more deafening imo .The Glory Halleluuulya song similarly has never been solustily sung by so many.Spine-tingling stuff
Great day for Levy looking out on his stadium packed with ecstatic fans after the appalling bad luck of Covid hitting all his figures to kingdom come...here was his vision realised and the start of the fightback...some pics at the end of players going to the vast wall of flag wavers was like the Bernebau, so huge are those stands. Felt like we are a superclub in that stadium .
Hard to pick out MoM etc everyone did their part . The concern was..would the players buy into Nuno's system and I think we got a clear answer to that . I was yakking on previously about intensity being the key..and there it was. A marvellous platform to build on .Hopefully this level can continue , consistency has not always been our forte .
Couple comments on the players . I'm not Dele's (8) biggest fan , but in the 2 friendlies and vs City he really put a shift in off the ball..tackling tracking back etc . Well done for seemingly arresting his decline .
On Lucas (9) he continued his blazing friendly performances and superb training efforts . One sequence in the Spurs stadium training session had him , Sonny and N'Dombele doing a mini run and shoot from 25 yards competition . His performance was stunning with numerous powerful well placed shots past the keeper scoring way more than Sonny and of course TN who treated it all as a joke(wanker) . Lucas won by a mile ofc.
All of which super surprises me that he has so few goals...and yesterday there he was again pulling a weak shot miles wide .
I was a forward and remember that moment in my head 'FUCK I'm through on goal DON'T FUCK IT UP '.....which of course can have a disastrous effect. I see that in him...sports psychologist needed ?...just a smidge more ice in the veins and he could be a real killer imo .
Don't expect we'll forget this marvellous day for a loooong time .COYFS
