Match Thread | Man City vs Bournemouth (04/11/23)

Looks like we are just starting to reach top form

We are coming off the back of the derby demolition, we haven't had a game mid week, and we are home to Bournemouth at 3pm on a Saturday; so kind of expected. Top form doesn't come for another month or so yet :)

Keep Stones and Rodri fit all season and we win everything again

Yep. The two keys to our possession game. The opposition can't get a sniff in the middle third with them two in there

BbC reporting that the third goal has gone to Akanji.
So Manuel needs two more now for his hat trick.

*lol* and Erling needs three for his. :-) ;-)

Good so far, hopefully Haaland is ok to come back out.

Need more goals, get the goal difference way out in front of spuds, scousers and arses.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Do we see a Phillips cameo?

Is he a pop singer from 1980s?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

A goal and 2 assists for Doku.

Lads at the back also look composed.

All ticking nicely.

“Ticking nicely” lol

That first half has been like watching a hungry tiger fuck about with a baby deer just for a laugh before ripping its throat out in front of its terrified family.

This seasons title won’t be won on GD but regardless, City’s will be the best ..

Doku not bad for someone who’s ‘not good technically’

Great performance from the team so far. Bernardo deserves a special mention also.

We’re winning this league by like 15 points IMO

Arsenal and Spurs a title threat? Give over.

 

[jimharri]

Is he a pop singer from 1980s?

Does he have a red cod piece?

After 2012 i always think it will matter

 

[TrentGrisham]

Is he a pop singer from 1980s?

Sadly, he might as well be.

 

[dublinblue12]

Peter Schmeichel just said on star sports the football this City team play borders on art

 

[Blue Mist]

Meh, not bad I suppose but not impressed with Haaland, Doku is too greedy, Edersons done nowt, lucky to be 3 up imo.

 

[KingGeorge]

Do we see a Phillips cameo?

I would like to get Nunes some minutes…continue to develop him

Looks good though……+ 50

You mean “tigger”ing nicely…

 

[TrentGrisham]

Not looking too hot for our guy Kompany currently.

I'm tired of commentators complimenting teams like this on their 'resolute' defending. This is absolute mediocrity from Bournemouth - a League 2 team can also defend like this, it isn't difficult to play a low block.

When are managers going to learn playing like this gets them absolutely nowhere?

People are going to say "do you expect them to go toe to toe with us?" No, but those demonstrably aren't the only two options.

I'd be embarrassed if my team played like that, not because they are shit, but because they look like cowards and stupid cowards at that. They will get nothing from this game, so what have they achieved? I just absolutely don't get it - it's total dross.

Nice to see Danny Mills describing City's performance in such endearing terms.
