So many players trying their luck with flicks and tricks at the wrong time in the wrong places, Pep will be all over the players and some will be getting the hairdryer over the phone, But got the 3 points and the job done, it was looking like one of them days when it was not going to happen,

Walker, what were you thinking?

He thought he'd be clever but it backfired badly. There was a City player there but no way he's expecting him to back heel it, then it was short. A ludicrous decision with ten minutes to go. We still had chances to clear it but our defence was all over the place.
 
Horrible game,i couldn't wait for it to be over......and then 7 more inexplicable mins to endure at the end!

Motm Rodri,closely followed by Kovacic.

Haaland needed that goal,although he would never hide.

Alvarez looking something of a square peg.

Do the Grealish booboys (and girls) never learn?

Gvardiol is one smooth.cool,and exceptionally talented,21 year old.

Dias a rock,as ever.

Even in such a small cameo,Phil made a big difference.

3 great points,move on!

Why the booing of Grealish again, I really wish some neanderthal opposing fan could explain

They wouldn’t be able to tell you if you asked them.

Football fans are a weird bunch of weirdos who do and say things they don’t mean or don’t know why they say or do them.

Twitter twats got swept up with the bitter Villa fans calling him a snake for daring to leave them and all of a sudden he was the pantomime villain and it crept into football stadiums.

I think he loves it though. I would.
 
Missing great chances chances is spoiling our open play.
Another very good performance spoiled by the finishing.
Haaland should be on 8 goals scored already after 3 games but still has 3 in 3.

Álvarez’s crossing and finishing was bloody awful today n’all.
 
Why didn't Walker come back on the pitch after his brain fart? Did he really think he couldn't affect offside if he was off the pitch?

"A defending player who leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission shall be considered to be on the goal line or touchline for the purposes of offside until the next stoppage in play or until the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside its penalty area."

Don't think he's got past Janet and John yet.

I'd love us to get Ezé before the window closes, as we need more creativity, pace & jeopardy in our forward & wide play. .....

How does pace helps you against 10 men in the box defending like a shooting squad is waiting for them if they concede. Eze's value would drop 95% the first time he encounters defence like SU today or WHU on Saturday. Ask Jack who has been constantly harassed and kicked and tugged by 2-3 defenders
 
I'm still not sure how their player isn't interfering with play as he's right on top of Ederson, although someone said Walker played him on.

Hello my City friends . Just got back from beautiful downtown Bramall Lane and I trust you all had a fun day out . It’s the hope that kills you in football and so was the case today . I thought we surprised a few with nil at half time by the grace of god . I know know I will get slaughtered on here but it wasn’t a pen . Where for FS do you put your arms stretching for that block . Anyway we dodged that bullet only for giraffe neck to do us . Kyle was blades man of the match for us again with his assist but once again we mastered our downfall. No bitching about refs/bar as it makes f**k all difference . Hope you found the lane like Maine Rd in the old days . My City other half will at least let me sleep in the same room tonight . Good luck for the rest of the season though you won’t need it and we will try and spanner the toon for you .
Up the blades ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Under the current laws of the game, it was definitely a penalty. Now; you can argue all you like about the rules. And I wouldn't be unsympathetic towards you on that score. But the incident met all the criteria for a penalty these days. Your giraffe neck comment; I understand that some will find it funny, I guess. I don't, particularly. Maybe that's just me with my Victor Meldrew hat on, though. I wasn't impressed with really your rough house tactics. But I guess you've got to do whatever it takes to get a result. You wouldn't have deserved a result, though, based on the stats and the chances we missed (not even counting the penalty). And your keeper chucking in a MOTM display for you. Anyway; all the best for the season. Though I feel it could be a long slog for you.
