Our “form” is very average coming into this game. We’ve lost 4 of our last 8 Prem games plus defeats in the FA Cup semi, CL final and Community Shield in that time n’all.

We’ve looked well off the pace in both second halves so far this season. Our opposition looked miles fitter than us in both games.

I think Saturday will be a tougher game than we think it will, simply because we are nowhere near ready for this season. But if de Bruyne and Stones play i think we will win!

The form since March has been a concern. I think this was a major reason we lost the big cup matches perhaps even more so than Peps team selections. We need to scramble 6 points before September and start showing an awful lot more after the international break.

Never sure what unnacceptable means. Unacceptable to who and if you aren't accepting it even though it's happened what are you going to do about it. It isn't ideal, and it's a bit freakish for us, it isn't unacceptable though.

How about annoying or frustrating?
We seem to have loads of possession and create many chances in most games - but we muff them and then concede a breakaway goal.
 
Why is everyone leaving Bernardo out? Is he confirmed that he is leaving?

He didn't start against Spurs which is a bit strange for me. I thought atleast he would start here

Me too. It seems certain Grealish is a replacement and he is on his bike. A pity really.
Maybe a deal is all but arranged and we were afraid of him getting injured. Remember Sane.

Definitely well below what we are capable of and dropped off markedly since the title was wrapped up.

this league is unforgiving , if you are not at your best almost week in week out its fine margins and you are not far from losing games to clubs you have to beat to gain honours.

Agreed,its madness.

Bernardo intertwining with Kev and Jack would be a thing of beauty,add Foden to that mix (when fit) and the football we will be capable of will both be mindblowing and mouthwatering.
It may now be inevitable he moves on,but i'm still hopeful he stays as i would want 2 or 3 others gone before him.

Agree. As I said we need to close out the next 2 games and concentrate on September. Three big away games and with one defeat on the board already we could be in a bad place come the end of the month. All Peps league wins have involved a long 14 or 15 game unbeaten run which interestingly have been at the start, middle and end of the season but the fact is that you can't really fall more than 7 or 8 points behind or no matter what run you go on it might not be enough.
 
Looks like Norwich returned the SS Level 3 tickets! bit shit considering its there first away game back in the Prem! Bet train prices haven't helped though.

Surprised about that. Norwich’s away following has been decent numbers wise over recent years and being their first away game after getting promoted I expected they’d sell out easily. I think this is further evidence of the pandemic affecting attendances for various reasons.

Norwich have got a good loyal fanbase.

They hold fourth place in the best average attendances of all time in the third tier of English football behind Sunderland City and one year from Leeds (but Norwich beat Leeds’ other two average attendances at that level).
 
The games isn't being televised. The Champions first home game of the season and the first in front of fans for a long time and we can't watch. Live too far away to go to the ground.
Is that because we are City and not U***ed

It’s baffling.

Bernardo is a superb player. He was instrumental in us getting as far as we did in the CL last season, and was easily among our best three performers in the last third of the season (Foden and Stones being the other two).
