The tackle was a booking but only for us. No other top PL team would have been carded for that. This is the same pillock who booked Sergio for diving when the entire world knew it was a stonewall penalty. And the challenge over by the touchline - never was there a sufficient push from Yaya that would have sent a thirteen or fourteen stone footballer down to the ground. Did yer like Yaya's goal, Sam?

Can people please pack it in with this 'great save' by Caballero. Now before anyone says I'm anti-Willy (!), I'm not. I backed him after all the shite he got last season after the Chelsea game. However, the save today wasn't great, people are just using it as a stick to beat Bravo with. It was an OK save, but certainly not anything that needs highlighting.

I think it's called sardonic humour. Something that's commonly found in the football fraternity and particularly among supporters of Manchester City FC.

Concur fully mate, the encouraging thing was yaya chasing bk to make that challenge, last season he wouldn't have been within 30 yards of him
 
I see the BBC have done a highlights package of yesterdays best goals, stating "Willian & Welbeck star in Saturday's best goals". Now don't get me wrong there are some good goals in it but they haven't shown one of ours in it. How can Willian's effort be any better than Yaya's?

I just want to emphasise something about the two passes. As soon as Gabriel Jesus goes into the tussle for the ball he knows exactly what he's going to do with it if he wins it. That is, he's seen Raheem lurking already (because he couldn't possibly have looked while he's scrapping, obviously) and he knows that he's got to make space for himself to play that perfect angled ball if he gets it. So that had everything – balls, to win the tackle, vision to know the best thing to do with it, and huge skill to execute it cleanly. For a lad of that age, that is no ordinary thing.
But Silva's is, if anything, a touch more sublime. Sané makes the sign and clearly signals to him where he's going to be and what he wants Silva to do. All fine and dandy, but Spanish Dave knows that whatever's obvious to him is equally obvious to the Palace defenders. So fine, he's got the message, but he's looking mostly to the right, to someone who is in fact free there (can't remember who) as he advances those ten yards. Only very briefly and discreetly does he check Sané's progress. He brilliantly decoys the Palace defence's attention away from Sané, or at the very least splits it, holds the ball exactly, to the split second, long enough, and then delivers a perfectly weighted pass which is slowing as Sané comes on to it, making his job all the easier.
I don't know if I'm alone in this – maybe I am – but my feeling over these last two games, Spurs and this, is that we've seen flashes of what this team can be, and should be, about twelve months up the road. That's why patience is vital. This season may be a washout, I'd be very disappointed if we didn't get top four, for sure, but I'm utterly certain that it is all going to come together, in an explosive way, within the next season or so. You look at these kids – Sterling, Sané, Jesus – a still young De Bruyne, Silva and Aguero who've still got tons of mileage in them; then you look at that under-18 team. It's frightening, really. There's work to be done on that defence, no question about it, and the keeper situation is worrying. If Pep's got any pull at all, those things will be fixed. Good times...

Thought Sane played his part by checking his run when the initial pass from Silva didn't come. He thought about it when most forwards would have run off side

Probably because the producer is a rag and convinced he shouldn't have been on the field

Natural finisher the lad but he really will have to work on his overall game to reach the real heights of the game and he is at the right club and under the right manager to do that is he really wants it.
 
good win and the signs are its coming together the speed of the front line is amazing and so young the future in them will give nightmares to defenders
sterling gets all the crap in the media but he is still so young and with time will be unplayable got everything just needs to feel loved and pep is the right man for that

jesus is going to be like a kid in a sweet shop i want that and that and pep said you can have anything you like son and sane is the quickest of the 3 and got better feet than any player i seen at his age. its scary what the future will be like with them 3 in this team and if i was pep i sign up for another 5 years as manager

I was privileged to be there today. So many positives, but especially Vinnie who looked colossal, and Jesus who just may be our new messiah. He was mightily impressive - great touches, fast, tricky, can shoot, hard working, and tough. Plus it was like playing in the arctic out there at 1 stage, but he was still going at full pelt to the end.
Great away day - great atmosphere. Great goals. Great result. Great full debut - trust me - one day in the not too distant future, this will be as memorable as York away! Jesus really does look THAT good to me.
Honourable mentions for Willy, Yaya and Sane.
Finally, David Silva: what a privilege it is to see such an artist. Fantastic!
De Bruyne, Kun and Fernandino to come back in too. If we can get the points at West Ham, we'll start flying again.

Can't see anything other than a win agaisnt West Ham. Jesus and sane must play, they add something different.
