This was the season Doku had to decide if he was going to be good enough for this team or if it would be his last. Seems we might be getting our answer.. All season please!

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Brilliant work lads, fantastic results when it looked like we might fuck it up!

Let’s keep it going, if we can put the pressure on the Scousers their arse will collapse and then it’ll get interesting

Poor first half but much better in the second. The Bobb substitution worked well.

Doku has really taken a step forward this season. I hope someone can nail down that right wing spot, whether it be Savinho, Bobb, or Cherki when he's back.

 

[PragueBlue]

That'll do nicely. Much better 2nd half. Pleased for Nunes to get a goal and kind of assist.

Burnley are no world beaters but they aren't mugs when it comes to defending and the dippers only managed to scrape past them with an injury time penalty.

Onwards and upwards.

How anyone can say that Nunes is a weak link is beyond me. If he is then so are half the squad. A fine player imo as seen today again.

Well said.

nunes is baking
he’s baking a humble pie

Normal Burnley scoreline.

 

[TonyM]

Hopefully this new Doku is here to stay. Only thing is that I think he'd be even better if he played more centrally with an attacking LB out wide.

Plenty of people on this forum were giving Doku the big "fuck off" before the season started. What have you got to say now for yourselves ? A fucking big piece of humble pie ?

Far better 2nd half more intensity. Doku motm for me looks a different player this season. Fine win onto Monaco now

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Job done despite patches of kinda uncertain and turgid football. A good but expected 3 points and Esteve was on fire today. Best game he's ever had for us. Good lad.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

We need to fix the midfield and the team will perform. The control is gone and it hurts us because it means we can’t attack effectively or defend. Concern is Gonzalez is just not working. The hope is Reijnders adjusting otherwise we have the same problem as the last 3 years without Rodri.

Doku is finally showing his level.

 

[CityDE]

Second half was very good. I really like Nico G. and Doku has been phenomenal for a couple weeks now. What a player he can be!

 

[TFC]

You can't give the big man a sniff. Doku imperious again. Probably made harder work of it than we needed to, but 3 points will boost confidence. Good job lads.

 

[Gumzy97]

Savinho keeps picking the safe option, if he could just go for the risk he’d be a serious player. When he did risk it and take his man on you can see why the club see his potential. Just needs to improve his defensive contribution, it’s just lazy

 

[madloaf]

A 5-1 win and united lose. Happy weekend everyone!

 

[Gabriel]

So many players are still finding their way into their season, which means individual criticism should be tempered. We’re far from our best collectively, but that should already be a quiet concern for others.

 

[malg]

Never felt more like singing the Blues......

Oh the shame of the match-day thread.

Good win. Played well for 2/3 of the match, but a more favourable scoreline than performance.
Doku is scintillating at the moment and Nico G is becoming what we hoped for.

The match day thread was its usual disgraceful self. Filled with posts from utter bellends who have never forgiven this club for being taken over and ruining their self-deluded street cred that “we support a team that wins nothing. Aren’t we cool?”

Twitter is far far worse. One prolific poster who seemingly only uses City to sell tee-shirts “for good causes” and never has a good word to say about the team and a veritable plethora of other wankers.

I get double the high when we win. The natural high of winning a game o football and the extra high of knowing the team has just ruined a good few thousand “City fans” weekend’s.

I honestly believe we should ban the match day thread. It’s just that bad.
