Bournemouth v City post match

[Thaksinssoldier]

Thought stonesy had a shout for Motm magnificent

He'd a shocker in the first half, but looked far better in the second.

 

[blueinsa]

I know bud but I don't like it, it unnerves me to say the least.

I think we're improving at 'it' though.

We're definitely better at it when Bravo is on the bench.

Learning curve for the fans and players alike under Pep mate.

 

[Machiavelli]

His distribution tonight was excellent.

No offence to Bravo (been done to death on here), I hope Willy gets a good run in the team. I think he has done more than enough to earn it.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Neville reckons we'll have another Leicester, Everton type result.

I really don't think we will.

 

[Bill]

We still have to play Chelsea so in my mind we are 5 behind.

 

[blueinsa]

Neville reckons we'll have another Leicester, Everton type result.

I really don't think we will.

He can dream.

Meanwhile he longingly hopes his rags could play like we do......

I really don't think we will.

Think it was Carragher that said that

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

good win and a solid defensive performance. Onwards and upwards........

 

[Andy Morrisons jock strap]

Pellegrini originally signed Willy for his distribution as he had no faith in Joe's. He just never got given a proper run early on and it affected his confidence big time.
We are now seeing why he was such a highly rated keeper in Spain.

Yeah but its a different level now he really has stepped it up and fair play to him for that he has seen what the manager wants and really worked on his game and to me has looked better and better but also his attitude is spot on never gets his head down and talks about the team rather than his own position

 

[HarrytheBlue]

All in here please.

Magnificent result and performance

Defence superb all night with Willy playing really well

Raz and Sane out of this world.

Kev brilliant.

Merlin majestic.

Hazard was nowhere last year. Ozil was nowhere to be seen in his first year and is fading again. Silva has been at the very highest level week-in week-out, year-in year-out. The smoothest player I've ever seen. Imagine him and Colin Bell in the same midfield. Colin would be as good now as he was then - could play in any era.

 

[LittleEgg]

Well grinded out result really. It lacked a little in some area's, but exactly the kind of game city were losing points to a few months back so...

These are the games that win leagues.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

So much to be happy about with that performance, yet on another night Bournemouth could well have equalised whilst they were on top for 10 minutes or so.

Caballero, STONES, Kolarov, SILVA, Sane, STERLING all brilliant, especially those I've put in capitals.

 

[Manc in London]

Not often you see Silva play like that and it isn't enough to be MOTM. Sterling just edged it for me, but there were some great performances all over the pitch. Sane and Dinho both had excellent games too. It was nice to see Aguero score, but he looks a shadow of the player he was.

I am hoping it is just rustiness but you may well be right.

We look so much quicker, aggressive and dynamic with Jesus as striker.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Willy was immense tonight. Bravo will be gone in the summer at this rate.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Learning curve for the fans and players alike under Pep mate.

Indeed mate.

I'm liking what I'm seeing emerging.

I think, given a bit of much needed rub of the green, we can win the CL this year.

Our counter would blow literally anyone away on it's day and we saw what we did to Barca when it all came together.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Think it was Carragher that said that

I was going to say, had to be "The Jamie" that uttered an idiotic prediction. It could happen, or we could go on to win every match from now until the end of the season, he has absolutely nothing to go on to say that.

 

[Stoned Rose]

We still have to play Chelsea so in my mind we are 5 behind.

Optimism mate.

Quality.

 

[The-Dogs-Pollocks]

Think it was Carragher that said that

Yep It was Carragher. Think Neville was pretty balanced - he's a better pundit than he is a manager anyway.

 

[Ric]

Think it was Carragher that said that

Yeah, it was. It wasn't a ludicrous suggestion though, I think it's quite plausible. Hopefully we've turned a corner in the last few weeks, but the fixtures have been favourable. Stiffer challenges lie ahead.

 

[RayCTID]

I don't want to keep rabbiting on about referees but funny they should mention both Leicester(who despite blitzing us in the first 20mins looked just as flaky in that game) and Everton as we had legitimate claims for penalties in both games.
