You just get a good feeling when you read something like that, and especially reading the words "Hungry for more". We needed that freshness and change of attitude badly...and hopefully that can spread through the dressing room...
Conversely the awful body language this year,players trotting back,pulling out of headers,giving the ball away and not going crazy to get it back,eriksen doing the flappy bird to sessegnon when his poor pass wasnt somehow improved by ryan teleporting to get it,toby just watching as Ings flicks it over his head and scores etc etc.The problems mostly were eriksen,rose,jan and toby (not always and not only).That is in order of not giving a monkeys,now toby looks happy and playing much better,have Jan`s legs gone or is it in the head his desire,and how it all collectively must have affected the other 7 or 8 lads on the pitch.
Wasnt helped by sessegnon and davies being injured,so Rose played some,wasnt helped by lo celso,lamela,ndombele,sissoko being injured so eriksen flipped in and out,foyth and sanchez not being as reliable as needed so jan and toby played.Then look at sunday,players fighting for every inch,every lost cause.Before toby wouldnt have stretched that inch got a toe to aguero`s shot,just enough to help hugo`s big toe deflect it on to the post,nobody would have got on the line after hugo and tanganga played keystone cops,was it aurier?wouldnt have dived in vain at gundogan,making him snap at the chance skying it over the bar.We nearly scored 2 own goals,winks and sanchez trying everything to head the ball away,I would rather that than trying to get out of the way,duck the challenge.The week before tanganga took one smack in the face,that is the difference now,no way we make all those blocks against city with how the players fought for each other earlier in the season.
No more passengers from now please!!
