A bitter consolation ... from this point forward Celina’s goal will be studied by every coach and player that is about to play City. A brilliant illustration of how to open them up, expose their weakness, play through them with speed and finish a la Michu.
And second we have found a new permanent penalty taker. Grimes was subtly brilliant today. He played at least 4 different roles with aplomb against one of the best teams in the world, hardly put a foot wrong in the entire game, and demonstrated that he’s nowhere near done developing. Big John is reported to have once said to a journalist when asked his best position ... “on the field”. Not to equate Grimes with Charles, but today we got a glimpse of what that idea really means. Grimes simply must be on the field. Grimes has to be the first name that Potter puts on the team sheet every game, the first contract that gets renewed by club execs, and the last player we will ever transfer out.
