FFS the arse won so we need the 3 points

A fucking own goal too in the 93rd minute ! Ha ha. Bollocks.

 

[kaz7]

Why do you say that? He hasn’t even been given a chance yet!

Because he is not match fit and wont last the game , if we are good near the end save rodders then

 

[Don Karleone]

Time to put them back in their box City.

 

[luckers]

Thanks a lot villa.

 

[RayCTID]

Navas is a good keeper so still got to be wary of that.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Fucking get this won City.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Bloody hell did you see the Toffees against the Bus Wreckers, they were garbage.

My point exactly!

 

[skillman]

Get this won blues, keep that pressure on!!

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We simply have to ram raid Forest to demoralise Arsenal.

Come on City!

Well you only get match fit by playing in a game. So leave him permanently on the bench and he never gets match fit!!!! In my opinion, it would have been the perfect opportunity for Rodri to have a rest and give Phillips game time.

Over to us. Time for some deforestation

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially the Notty lot, especially the blind, biased and stupid media lot.

Manchester City, the best team in the land and all the world.

Go for it everyone.

 

[bennyboy]

Shelvey and Colback in for them.

 

[Alcatraz]

Ake must be wondering what's going on.

Our only LB for Champions League / Wednesday, so not such a surprise … ?

 

[Chi-town blues]

Over to us. Time for some deforestation

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Need to put these to the sword now and send a message. It's demoralising to scrape a dramatic last minute win just to immediately be shunted back into second with ease. They'll eventually fatigue from that.

 

[waspish]

We know they going to sit back Haaland Hatrick is due

We know they going to sit back Haaland Hatrick is due

They will try and kick him and have half their team man marking him , he is a battering ram so all good

 

[simon23]

Surprised he has kept Bernardo as the left back again....he surely must see that as soon as that change was made vs arsenal the other night we looked a far better team and much more in control.. I understand what he is trying to do but it isnt really working and is leaving us potentially very exposed - Pep is playing with very very fine margins here and at present he is getting away with it.....

great to see foden back in the team on the other hand and that Dias has kept his place

the other difference from the other night is that we had Ake's pace covering that left side for Bernardo vs arsenal.....now we have Laporte who has far better passing as we know, but is also slower and can make the odd error...dont know much about forest so no idea how good they are down that side of the pitch.

Need to give an immediate response and regain top spot straight away.

Can't give Arsenal any encouragement.
