To be fair to both wide men Foden and Cancelo and Mahrez and Grealish when they play, unbelievable how many times we delay the delivery to them from defence which often forces them to play the ball back once they receive it. Check how many times our defence and midfield stop the ball and reverse...

It was a big day out for Barnsley that day, you’d think they’d have tried just enjoying the occasion instead of lobbing their bus fare home at you.

I agree I’d love to see how he goes central but I really don’t see it happening. Last season Sterling had a go on the right for a couple of games and did well, next thing he’s out for a few games then back off the wing. For some reason there seems to be an aversion by Pep to play half our...

If that was the first game they put away fans in the north stand? It kicked off when they all piled down the stairs to the bar. They came straight into all the blues already down there. Cops piled up the stairs in the middle section and straight past us and for some reason one of my mates turned...

Well no, I’m not passing an opinion on a City player to make myself feel good. I’ve been doing it for nearly 50years, it’s what I do as a City fan. If I Lived in Manchester still I’d be doing it all the time but I don’t so I do it now and then on here. You’re probably in the wrong place if...

I know, but that isn’t going to happen is it?

Shocking that figures of 50mil are banded about for unfancied players.

I’ve sat on the fence with Grealish and was even defending him the other day but Palmer could do what he does for free and is more dangerous in front of goal.

Really? I stand corrected then. We played like it until a couple of seasons ago.

Someone mentioned it in an earlier post, when Pep arrived his mantra was that we have all this skill in the squad so I want them to follow my direction until they arrive in the final third then they are free to attack how they see fit…and it worked. Now it seems all that freedom has been banned...

Probably won’t be though, they get away with murder.

I’ve only watched Brentford when we’ve played them but since they beat us I’ve watched them live against Tottingham and extended highlights of their last game. Relevant to what you’re saying about speed of movement of the ball, just watch them at every opportunity they play the ball down the...

Maybe they aren’t happy as they feel they only get a chance to prove themselves out of their natural position, maybe they feel there’s too much rotation, maybe they feel they’re set up to look shit having too many jobs to do, maybe players look happy because they can’t believe they’re first...

Pace doesn’t have to be a winger running at full backs from the halfway line, it can be just as effective when a player has stood a defender up in the positions Majrez and Grealish receive the ball. You only need a short burst of speed to get past a player. SWP in his prime would create in these...

I know, I’m no expert either but being so high up the pitch with the players being chosen to start is clearly a bad recipe at the moment because we’re blunt at both ends. Maybe it’s just the tempo, Arsenal don’t give the opposition time to breathe like City used to play, and off the top of my...

Tbh I usually browse all the good stuff on here but only post to vent about the shit said and written about us in the media. Other than that I think our standards are so high after the last decade and us having the best coach on the planet it’s understandable blues are concerned with the...

We could always defend a bit deeper instead of the top third of the pitch and stop putting our fullbacks in the middle of the park.

The other problem is Grealish reaching the line then expecting him to consistently put an accurate dangerous ball in with his chocolate foot. If you look at those situations just like the other night he usually takes a small touch too many to adjust for his left foot and always gets it taken...

Yet the dragon on the commentary kept saying VAR has checked obviously and there’s nothing to see?

Maybe a change in formation is just what the team needs?
