I don’t get it either because it’s not like it regularly actually works. It nearly always fails so what the fuck is the point? Just makes teams look meek.

The teams that have taken points off us recently - Brighton, Brentford, Newcastle, even Leicester and Palace in recent years - they play positive football.

In maybe two years of football I think I can remember bus parking working for Forest and Everton - and only because of huge help from the referee or swathes of luck. That’s in about 100 games.

Tbf, Sheffield United are shit and they know they are shit. Going at us would be suicidal. They were a bang average Championship side who then lost their 4 best players and barely signed anyone, expecting them to try and ho toe to toe with us us insane.
 
A win playing mostly in 2nd gear, that we'd have won more easily if we'd scored the penalty and against a team that only attempted to play something that looked a bit like football in the last 15 minutes. I don't blame them for that, they're shit so the WWE stuff was the only way they could compete. 3 points, no injuries, 3 wins in 3.
 
Made needlessly hard work of that. Should have put the game to bed in the first half. Never feel comfortable with a one goal lead. Ridiculously stupid by Walker to fart about doing a back heel in his own penalty area. What on earth was he thinking?
Foden made a difference for the short amount of time he was on the pitch. Our set pieces need some work.

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you City, thank you fans. You showed ‘em lads, you showed ‘em all. Especially the bullying oiks from over the Pennines, especially the Specsavers needing stupid so and sos of a media gang. Especially the biased, cheating (allegedly) officials who *ha, ha, ha* keep forgetting that we NEVER give in. NEVER, EVER, EVER UNDERESTIMATE OUR TEAM YOU FOOLS. :-)

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. :-)

CITY, CITY...
 
Thought we dominated the game, Dias handled that rapid forward of theirs very well.

Gvardiol and Kovacic class again, Foden on another level right now.

Walker lapse in judgement for their goal but was solid otherwise and determined to make up for the mistake which he duly did.

Rodri is absolutely incredible, operating at a level I don't think we've ever seen from his position for us.

sure, but i read a lot about city being slow to start seasons, this is excellent, points are what really matters in the end.

and by october kova, gvardiol and doku will hopefully get a lot of time to train and play with the team and adapt to the system.
 
Those who were predicting a 5-0 win earlier, seems like they have not learnt any lessons from football.
We got away with one today.
