Ye Mane is better than Salah the same way Benzema is better than Ronaldo. He brings more and.... Wait... No, he isn't.
Yeah totally illogical. Freaking great player just like everyone in the front three, but one is clearly better than the rest. Played a bad game, still had multiple chances, won a penalty, had an assist, and likely would have scored if not professional fouled.
As a closing thought, I was thinking that our players who went to the WC weren't as good as the others. Alisson would be the exception to this as he was almost perfect passing as well as goalkeeping. But, unlike yesterday, there are no real excuses. They have to win period. Firmino in particular had a very hard game. If not for a few interceptions by Sakho this could have been a lopsided scoreline.
As for the season like last season, I hope Salah doesn't play that much again.
What are the emergency keeper rules this season? IIRC, it used to be that if you're down to one senior squad keeper, you can loan another or sign a free agent outside transfer window. Grimshaw now getting a chance at least in the cup competitions is good for him, after all the success he had for their youth teams.
Also, couldn't City still sign and register someone for their CL games? Wonder if someone experienced would be willing to join to sit on the bench in the CL for good salary. What's the situation in PSG, they still have all three of Buffon, Trapp and Areola on their books. If Buffon is really going to be the starter for them for the whole season, one of the others might be willing to leave at least on loan.
I think they may be allowed to sign a free agent, but I don't know the rules exactly.
