Bernardo gets some unfair stick in my opinion, despite everything, but he's so good in this role. Just does all of the dirty work for the team, happy to get the ball wherever, knows when to slow us down.

Was glad to see him on the team sheet today. Compliments Nico really well.

I can see a red for donnarumma later. Second yellow for time wasting.

If that happens Taylor should not be allowed to leave the ground I’d actually nearly want someone to beat the fucker senseless..

 

[heslops barnet]

Now you’ve done it….

Tongue in cheek comment

 

[jollylescott]

Taylor will be our big problem 2nd half he’s in the mood to change the tide of this.

Yep. Taylor is going to be the danger man in the second half

 

[Lincolnshire Blue]

Never not wanted the half time whistle this much, I've missed this City, couple more in the 2nd half hopefully, get that fear factor back of coming to the Etihad for teams aswell because City playing faster paced football is enough to keep any defence awake at night.... COME ON CITY !!!

Didn’t realise Bournemouth are in top 4. Iraola is an amazing coach. My favourite when Pep leaves

Cherki is le diffrent Grāvē

What the fuck are you talking about?



It's "gray-veh".

Correct, he's adapted his game to allow others to play - sees danger early.

Something will need to be done with keeper's obstruction, it is getting ridiculous, you shouldn't be allowed to hook keepers arm even if the ball is not in play.
This shit is not football and it is not happening in the rest of Europe.
We are the only team in the pl scoring all of our goals from open play, just ridiculous.

 

[Millennium]

Cherki performance should cement his place in the first team selection

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Arny slot watching this and trying to make the math, math comparing Cherki and Wirtz

Gonna need to see Taylor's decisions on TV before deciding what kind of game he's had.

Had some iffy decisions, but the 'nailed on penalty' really wasn't one.

Var look at Bournemouths equalizer

Conveniently missing the dippers....

Another bonus from Howard for that.

Our biggest threat.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

He let go but still it’s a foul regardless should have been ruled out,it absolutely would have if it was us scoring it ..

We've had exactly the same situation go against us with Akanji getting even less of a touch on Alisson a few years back.

For me it's one of those situations where it's bad goalkeeping but it's still also a foul. You can't full on link arms with the keeper, doesn't matter if you then let go.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Every corner we get this half we should be grabbing on their goalies arm and letting go as the ball arrives

If you want us to get carded

 

[jollylescott]

Come on boys keep the momentum going

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Not enough for him to flap like that.

Precisely enough for him to flap like that actually. He moved late because he was being held. It’s clear as day.
