I've been of the belief that Doku deserves to start more than Grealish but it was brilliant to see that first 15 minutes - which I think is our best team - and the pure rythm we played with with him in the side retaining possession and dragging people around.

Doku can open up defences but for the biggest games we need that starting 11.

Totally agree. I am in no way suggesting that Doku is responsible for their goal - all down to Edersons brainfart - but t was noticable that he gave away the freekick that led to it. Had that been Grealish we'd have had a freekick our way.

First 15 minutes were the most cohesive I have seen us all season.

No team in the world could live with us when we play like that. It is almost hypnotic. tick, tick, tick, moving it from side to side until the inevitable opening and then we pounce like tigers. Shows the imprtance of having everyone fit in the last third of the season for the key games.

Worth a mention, I thought their right back first half, left back second half, Jelert, was fantastic.

showed a ridiculous turn of pace throughout. out paced kdb multiple times and kept up with both doku and walker on different occasions. Can see him being at a top club before long, perhaps one to keep an eye on ourselves.

That lad had a very good game, He basically won alot of his duels when one v one and as you said he has a great turn of pace.

The problem he had last night which many full backs do is more so off the ball, Doku and Bernie in the first half along with KDB and Foden in the second half making runs off him which he struggled to deal with alot of occasions.

He reminded me a bit like Wan Bissaka to be honest, Good in one v one situations but his awareness of what's around him movement wise he really struggled, Plus he was pretty poor on the ball.

That could all change though if he moved to a better team and under better coaching. Maybe I'm being harsh on the lad seen as he was facing the best team in the world which he won't be facing every week. Pep obviously seen his side as weakness especially in the second half we had a lot of joy. Interesting to see what he becomes in the future.

Agreed.

Grealish is one of the first names on the team sheet in the Champions League too. He offers us balance and we can control games much better when he's in the side. Very rare you'd see him give the ball away.

It is our best eleven, without a doubt.

100% fella.

Grealish doesn't get anywhere near enough credit.

The first 15 minutes he was excellent last night as he normally is especially in the Champions League.

He was fantastic. Made about 3 goal saving tackles.

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans.
You showed ‘em, you showed ‘em all. Especially the dirty mermaids, you’d think with being near the water they’d manage to keep clean!!
Especially the stupid, biased, squeaky squirrels in the media. (Ha ha that showed ya, didn’t it?)
Especially the Specsavers needing, stupid fools pretending to be officials who try to grind us down! Take that you barnacles. Don’t you know who we are you silly, deluded bits of paper from the toilets! We are:
MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!!



Looks as if I might not be the only one voting for a certain player tonight!! ;-) :-)

How good would someone need to be to get your MOTM vote in a game where John had also played?
