Need Stones on for Ake for the long balls up the middle for Toney, Ake to FB Gvardiol off

Pep needs to lay into the back 4 and ederson because Phil foden has just got them out of jail . Ruban Dias needs to get his head sorted as atm he isn’t fit to be in the squad . Gvadiol is showing some good touches but this left back need to stop And Haaland is not ready for a full game either . Said it before Phil foden is the best English footballer since gazza and if he keeps his head screwed on will be the bess footballer in the world .

It is is really harsh criticism for Haaland it was a good block from their keeper. Another thing this is his first start back from a very lengthy lay off. Get In!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not convinced that some of these posters are actually Blues to be fair, if they are then they need to give their collective heads a wobble!

Luke’s a tosspot

Probably a RAG who would love if Utd were going what City do.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Don't exaggerate. We've played well. There's always going to be the odd error against teams playing on the break.

It looks to me like we have committed to all-out attack and if we concede on the break we’ll just have to score more.

 

[Nour]

No doku in this match , one mistake he loses the ball and the counter ..

 

[Kippax77]

Just got in a pick up after a front tyre blow out on M62.
Have I missed much?

 

[burning blue soul]

Brentford have had their bit of luck for that goal. They are gonna have to work for another one.
City will rip them a new one 2nd half. Great time to get an equaliser. Teams will go into the break with different mentalities.
C'mon City do these long ball wankers!!!

 

[wolviedinho]

Doku for Bernardo
Grealish for Alvarez
And somehow should make a place for Kovačić, Stones and Akanji for better ball control. We made poor 247 passes

5 subs!

 

[Damanino]

why do I have a feeling that this weekend when Brentford visit Wolves they will concede like 4 goals first half from about 5 shots total and Flekken has 2 and a half clangers.

 

[Don Karleone]

Thought Kev played alright and Haaland just needs more minutes, we'll be okay.

 

[I'm Blue]

I'm calling Erling winner assisted by Grealish.

I hope so, he needs a goal.
He's struggling to find that killer instinct, even pre injury.
1 goal and the flood gates will open for him again.

 

[BringBackSwales]

If there’s a record for number of shit corners in a first half we’ve probably broken it.

Slight amendment

 

[Metal Biker]

This game could do with a bit of Jacky Boy

 

[DTKOAG]

Carragher screaming for us to get off the pitch and not celebrate the goal.

 

[RayCTID]

I don't think we'll change personnel and it be more of a tactical tweak. They totally stitched us up (give them some credit for that) for the opener. Despite his one game a season Flekken is dodgy.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Get into Maupay the first 10 minutes of the second half. He will see red here.

Then turn the screw and be more clinical when the chances come..

Big Erl and Rodders to settle it!

 

[nellyonthewing]

Bring on the Bobb

 

[SiMCFC]

Thank god for Foden.

 

[Sky Blue]

Fantastic offensively, almost a symphony. Our lapse of concetration on defense is incredibly annoying. Ederson is having a nightmare of a match. We should win this easily if we keep this level

Ah, you’re the **** that always slags him on the performance thread.
