Key Player
The ball took 10 seconds to go from keeper to net. Ten seconds to shred the essence that is City and everything that Pep pounds into his players every moment of every session of every day. Ten seconds to make them look ordinary and beatable. Ten seconds to deliver a lesson that I’m sure Pep has looked at and learned from. And, ten seconds to put down a marker that Potter must play for his players in the prep for any future game with the message: this is what we can do, let’s stop fucking around.
It’s a goal that can be compared to anything we scored under Laudrup.
This game is a pivot point of the season. Either we take this performance as a new Gold standard and drive forward up the table, or we revert to our mean and continue to struggle where we are. The City match gave the players a glimpse of their potential. They can either believe, embrace and execute or it becomes a memory of what could have been.
