WOW!
City before we bought a Number 9.
So fluid and absolutely head f"ckin Brighton all over.
A few more goals in front of our fans and then send that statement over to the Emirates first class please

We missed this familiar fluid football for so long.

The thing is, Brighton is trying to play football instead of parking the bus. That's rare, and a suicidal strategy against us.

Can't ignore the fact the ref had an absolute howler, theyd be riots if that went against us and they gifted us one as they seem to do for every single team but it doesn't take anything away from how brilliant we've been.

Kovacic is the key, he's been nothing short of sensational. For anybody that questions what he brings, (and theres a few) watch him closely second half and you'll see. He's outshone foden this half in my eyes.

The difference in the balance he brings to the side is ridiculous. no surprise we stop going top heavy and we look like last seasons imperious city again. Being greedy, I'd love no injuries, clean sheet, a foden hattrick, and alvarez to bag one second half then ring the changes and start saving legs for forest.

I said it before but before Xmas when Haaland was injured we played better fluid football and it’s happening again, I think Haaland if he recovers will be on the bench rest of the season, these lads are getting in a rhythm and you don’t break that. Get another goal then get Bobb and doku on for KDB and Bernardo

 

[MMA]

That header off kev though..

 

[Stoned Rose]

Best we’ve looked all season for me.

A lot of it has to do with the way Brighton play but still, we’ve looked superb so far.

I want another 3 this half. GD may well come into this yet.

 

[skillman]

What a half of football. I knew Brighton would be open but so often teams close up against us but we’ve been dominant. Absolutely fantastic.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Probably our best first half of the season. Total control. Everybody has been great, slick as fuck.

Think Gvardiol has a great touch, think next season if he backs himself just 10% more he could be incredibly scary to play against.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

The thing is, Brighton is trying to play football instead of parking the bus. That's rare, and a suicidal strategy against us.

But you respect Brighton for doing it.

A smashing player for City, and certainly not deserving the opprobrium handed out by some City fans, he was great when we needed him, and he left for the right reasons.

That said, I would not want him on the pitch tonight because he does seem fond of kicking City players.

Milner is a weird one, seems to have love for all his ex clubs apart from us ha
