Honestly, best part of today is that the fans are clearly behind Sarri and behind the players during this match.
Kepa on the bench, for me.
Don't have one without the other. Kepa incident could actually end up being a long-term positive
In like a galvanizing kind of way?
Perhaps.
Either that or finally enough adversity for the team to come together to quiet the "haters".That's my thought. Team looked way more cohesive today than it has in ages, I wonder if the Kepa fiasco gave Sarri an opportunity to lay down the law.

Might have , that's not really Sarri's style , but who the hell knows.
I just know this team is slowly starting to operate Sarri's system to it's potential. I saw a lot of good things today (and against City) , irrespective of the score.
I'd be down for the current top 4. Liverpool, City, Spurs and ArsenalWe're gonna end up with:
Liverpool
City
Chelsea
Arsenal
....I hope.
They started the season very well though didn't they? I just don't think they're better than where they currently are in the table if they want to play "sarriball". They would need some big transfers going in and out, but now with the ban coming up things not looking too good unless there is a way to delay it..
bingo.. if it was Salah you can bet it would be debated right nowIsn't it funny how people shouted that Salah dove against I think it was Arsenal, but none against Bernardo Silva today? No bias here
Maybe, but only because people would have been watching that game.bingo.. if it was Salah you can bet it would be debated right now
If they run the table going 10-0-0 for the rest of the season they’d finish on 90 pts. Won’t be enough this year. Spurs are done.Gotta think that eliminates Tottenham.

Time has passed, still nothing. But as I said it's understandable I would have prefered City over any of the other big teams aswell, just pointed out the obvious but maybe I should have done it in a different way.
Not really sure how the FA decided on the games (all the top-6 playing on Wednesday - turns out they're at the same time as Real-Barca, so won't watch any PL games anyway ), but sometimes it's cool to just watch mid-table / bottom clubs duke it out.
Ended up watching Newcastle - Burnley.
Thing is, I remember Newcastle as a PL champion and a club Dinamo played in 98 in the CL qualification (and was robbed by the ref, but let's not get into that hah).
So, I'm sorta split when I watch them - I wanted them to win yesterday, but at the same time the whole Mike Ashley thing... I don't know, does it get better before hitting rock bottom?
Would the average Newcastle fan prefer to lose and go down if that meant Ashley would sell his bit and go away?
Anyway...
I know Rafa had a bad stretch at Madrid, but the job he's doing with Newcastle has been fantastic. It took a while, but the team I've seen tonight and in the Liverpool and City games certainly deserves to stay up and is looking so much better than when I watched them play in the first half of the season.
