He won’t leave. It’ll be Dias and Laporte as our main centre backs before too long. I am ecstatic with Stones’ form but it feels like people have quickly forgotten just how good Laporte is. Selling him would be a mistake.

Lost his clean sheet bonus

Amazing what a month can do for confidence, and it starts from the back. It feels like the team suddenly believe that we are back on track and it’s evident that the dressing room and Pep both have their mojo back. He looks like a different man on the touchline compared to a few weeks ago. Dias...

Brilliant win. Feels like we’re picking up some momentum and the feel good factor is back in the squad. Standout for me was Dias.

Why did he get to retake that?

Next 6 before Liverpool, in that time Liverpool play United for the first time, and Spurs, and United play Arsenal too. Big opportunity. Brighton (H) Crystal Palace (H) Villa (H) West Brom (A) Sheffield United (H) Burnley (A)

He’s playing really well, but I personally get all of my confidence from Dias. He’s an absolute monster in the middle and I think Stones has finally relaxed in a City shirt and they make an excellent pair together.

Excellent performance so far. Credit where it’s due - Rodri and Gundogan both excellent in the middle. Team working hard and looking hungry, maybe they’ve finally realised it is there for the taking this year!!

I’ve been very impressed with him. He’s everywhere and his positioning is excellent - I can’t think of one last ditch tackle he’s had to make yet where he’s been caught out.

Pedestrian performance. Didn’t deserve anything.

I don’t get it - 2 DMs against WBA

Should dock both teams a point.

Last night will have taken a lot out of them. We should be well rested and win this if we are going to win the league this year. We’ve had a few chances this season to turn a corner from a slower start and build some momentum. For me this feels like another opportunity to do that, and in that...

Won the group, rest in final game. Job done

Miles away from what we need

People ask for more evidence but that’s why we spend big on every transfer. Grealish will already go for that in the circumstances, but sometimes you have to trust your gut. Manè is a good example, he was 1 in 3 at Saints, but you could see he had talent, somebody took a chance and now he’s 1...

His prime lasted about 8 weeks.

Feels like a big game for our season If we play to our best we should win

That would be a brilliant set!

Personally think Laporte and Dias will keep them quiet! I’d have Walker and Ake either side. Ake has impressed me and in particular he looks very calm 1 on 1 which is key against Salah.
