Teams like villa who pressed us for 90 plus minutes usually drops points next game. Bailey got literally burnt out at the end , will be bit surprised if he can start against gooners.Maybe, but games like last night do take it out of you. As for no point blowing it, I disagree. We aren't title contenders, we're a top 6/7 side potentially knocking on the door of top 4 but that's about it. Anything v you or the goons is a bonus.
Thanks, and I agree. Outside of Pep & Klopp I genuinely believe we have the best manager around. He's superb and we are very very fortunate to have him. 9 of those players last night were playing under Gerrard, a few were playing a few years ago when you beat us 6 at VP and we couldn't even get the ball off you. The transformation under him as a manager is frightening and it peaked last night. I hope it hasn't taken too much out of us for Saturday.
As a neutral looking in I do feel there's a bit of an over panic on here. I looked at your fixtures earlier and you have some very winnable games going forward (every game is winnable for city but you get my point). As long as you're in the mix then you'll eventually go on a run when it matters - you always do. I spent last night talking about who you didn't have (Rodri etc) without even realising that you have De Bruyne sitting on the sidelines.
We hope so, lets wait and seeHe was without doubt but will he ever get back to that level, it's a question that needs answering.
I'll take whatever number you want on that...He was without doubt but will he ever get back to that level, it's a question that needs answering.
I deal in facts not clairvoyance.Be 30 at the end of season let that sink in.

Panic here ? nah we only do Panick here ;) just that your team caught us at wrong time.
Im hoping KDB and pep are cooking up some masterplan to redefine his role so the best player ever to pull on the shirt can see out his last years with us with less stress on his aging bodyAnything we get from KDB will be a bonus, huge injury to get over at 33 and for a man with a catalogue of major injuries.
Personally I think he will be gone in the summer.
Never seen us so bad under Pep, even worse than Soton away in the cup last seasonIt was a shocker no doubt, I am a positive person and an optimist generally, but there’s no glossing over that performance
Teams are going to try that bit harder against us, we are the treble winners and a major scalp, it’s to be expected so we need to up our game as well, I am hoping that last night will have been a cathartic game, and the players and manager need a rocket
It’s a blip brought on by injuries, other teams can smell blood as wellNever seen us so bad under Pep, even worse than Soton away in the cup last season
Draw against Bournemouth, lost at Forest, and let’s see how they do against Arteta. We were just absolutely awful, think anyone could have beat us that night.Aston Villa are the best team we have played this season. I think they could very will win the league. Defensively they were solid and four of their midfield players Bailey McGinn, Luis and Tielemans were sensational. There was a reason we wanted the last two.
Yes we were abject, but we were abject for a reason - quite simply Villa were brilliant.
