He’s created more per 90 mins than all of them this season.

shows you how misleading stats can be then doesnt it

I hope not as that invariably means Sterling left and Mahrez on the right and it stops us really getting behind them. I think Sterling Is generally more effective on the right and Foden has played well on the left. Maybe they will swap positions during the game.

We'll find out soon enough though.

I don't disagree... But istry :)

God, I wish Pep would have said 'first time we've been top?'

Honest to fuck are these cunts just bad at their jobs, I'd be sacked if I was this hopeless.

Bernardo had 2 years.

He was in and out of the starting line-up and never really got the chance to fully get his form back. When he had a few games in quick succession, he found his rhythm again. Sterling and Mahrez have both had extended runs over the last 18 months to show some form and both have been very patchy at best.

All 3 are excellent players and let's hope they hit top form tonight and for the rest of the season.

I must say that I like Gareth as a pundit.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Early goal please City, I had to make a blood pressure tablet sandwich for the Cheltenham game, yer cunts....!!!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Put your stats on the table then, I will be interested to see how he compares to the above 3 please

Shot Creating actions per 90 (be it passes or dribbles etc that lead to a shot being created):


Expected Assists per 90 (so this measures the quality of what’s created and how many assists they could on average expect from what they created):



In summary, Mahrez is our best bet for creating chances without KDB.

wouldn't be difficult to be better than our normal 'choices', but yes, he is good

And BT claiming we can go top for the first time this season

Micah found his way on Dazn, happy days

We will rotate.

Expecting to start with Foden left, Mahrez right, Sterling false 9 with Berni in behind

Trouble is they are chances he creates for himself and then generally misses ;-)

I was thinking the same. Anybody else would have said .” No it ain’t “

 

[lancs blue]

10 league games without defeat and still there are pages of moans about team selection.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Good to see Lescott and Barry in the BT studio. Makes a nice change from the usual clowns they hire.

 

[mccity]

Mahrez was getting pelters and yet created 2 good chances against Cheltenham in that first half.

I can understand 100% why people don't enjoy watching Mahrez, but there are things he's good at and merits he provides to the team.

Waiting to see who the commentator and cocom, bet it's Drury and Smith.

Just about right for the dinosaur that he is.

Snodgrass will be a ****,he cant help himself.
