Very happy with that half.

Sav looks confident tonight, hope he bags one.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

He's extremely frustrating. It was the first ball he's put across, amazing what happens when you go direct or try and beat a player. He's spent the whole game coming back on to his left foot and passing back to midfield.

I know he can be, but he also just popped up with an assist

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fuck off Murinho!
:)

We are still shit on free kicks and corners.

We need a specialist..

We’ve been shit on corners for a decade

 

[Draikin]

Third in la Liga but they look very poor

 

[deano ou812]

Excellent first half ..

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

savinho haters quiet

I’ve been critical of him in the past but when he plays like this he’d start week in week out

 

[mattcity5]

Really enjoying this performance. Despite no creativity, Peps overthinking and Nunes, Lewis and Savinho being on the pitch.

It's almost like they aren't shit.

 

[skillman]

Brilliant half. Now go for the jugular, learn from Monaco

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Great first half. Should be a few more goals up. It puzzles me how Villareal are 3rd in La Liga.

We’ve been that good.

 

[TLDuk]

Outstanding first half keep it up lads

 

[ufo]

wtf happened to jasko’s hair style ? ffs

 

[Mr HJ]

Savino been ok got the assist there Doku on the other side being marked defended against very well! Saying that Doku has had certain situation where he should do better

Good to see him doing better - I still maintain we should only play with one of either Doku or Savinho - the one in form as we lack balance especially on transitions with both.

Hopefully we will not have a daft 10 mins at the start of the second like last time in the CL and go for the third to kill off the game. Decent half though Erling just doing Erling things is inevitable.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Very nice. Got a bit scrappy for 10 minutes or so.

Looking good. More of the same 2nd half.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

It's usually rooting for the British club, whereas our games always seem to have them rooting for a good even competitive game.

Or for other teams to win..

Vinicius scoring vs us.. "THAT IS WHAT HE DOES" and Ferdinand dancing.. having a smile from ear to ear till KDB launched a stormshadow missile past Courtois!

 

[jollylescott]

Very good first half. We've controlled the game and scored two excellent goals.

You can tell there's a very good vibe in this City squad. We're going to take some beating this season.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Decent performance that. Only Doku was a bit under par for me. Rest played well.

 

[Paleblue2]

Happy with that so far.

Will the bed wetters stop whinging over savio now I wonder

Depends how insecure the little cherubs still are about him playing pool with a suitcase in the background that could have been there from a shopping trip to Paris that he hadn’t put back in his loft yet for all we know.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Half time and now back to the TNT Sports Espana studios
