I was in Asda chatting with some Blues, when the team news came through.Possibly with City away on paper still being a tough tie they tried to contain the game in the hope of getting us on the break. I have no issues with doing that, we have looked like we have played for draws countless times this season. The ref should have booked early for any time wasting then i tis up to them if they want to keep running that risk.
I was unsure at the lineup pre match, annoyed Bernardo was starting but him actually playing central made it better instead of being invisible on the wings. Results are the priority now 100% but i just enjoyed the performance last night, a bit of urgency, trying to build attacks quicker and just looking a touch sharper. I thought we was garbage against Everton but walked away with a nice win, I'd have been happier last night even if we drew just due to the performance. Winning is a huge bonus and I think seals the deal for CL football. We need to maintain that level now.
Definitely one for the FOCs!Ooh, he is awful... but I like him
Our press didn’t stop Villa taking their goal kicks quicker.I saw it another way,I thought we completely contained them and they couldn’t get going all night. Our press was magnificent and stunted their buildup
Another Pep masterclass for me
Agree on Martinez , he’s a cock and he just can’t help himself
Not sure how anyone can describe Doku's goal creating effort which prob gets us into the CL as "ok". Absolutely electric burst, leaves the defender in his dust and a very difficult outside of the boot cross. There is a reason our Exp Goals was only 1.09 yesterday despite scoring twice and McAtee's fuck up where it was arguably easier to scoreMcAtee has been great in recent weeks, Scored againt Palace. Doku's been ok for 20 mins out of two games
Yes, and for what he is paid you would like to think so. The lineup scared me but we approached it differently and wasn't slow and laboured. Bernardo playing like that and there's no issues. Him getting game time despite poor performances was the worry. Fingers crossed it is the start of an end of season runI was in Asda chatting with some Blues, when the team news came through.
We were saying that it was madness leaving Nico G on the bench, but Pep obviously still knows more than the average City supporter.

That winning goal by Mattias Nunez might have helped City secure a Champions League place. Much like the happy memory I have of Rodri against Villa and Inter Milan when he scored. Without the character shown by " Plodri" to " "plod on" and show the character to ignore the detractors City might have been denied the chance to see that or watch him lift the Balon D'Or.Hahahahhaha what a reach!!
We’re at the point we’re congratulating a £53m player for putting his hand up?
Edgie was bulled to fuck by the main stand and booed. Nothing like what’s happened to Nunes - every week people think “why the fuck is Nunes playing?” but he’s had no stick at the games compared to what Edghill got.
Stepping up to take a penalty in a final, after what just happened earlier in that game, was proper leader material and Edghill was class for that. Putting your hand up to ask for the ball is nothing like it.
'won't the real Glauber Berti please stand up. please stand up.'He's turned into the new Gláuber Berti.
It was a brilliant piece of work by Jérémy. The cross was absolutely fantastic, and Matheus' finish equally so.Not sure how anyone can describe Doku's goal creating effort which prob gets us into the CL as "ok".

All the other Glauber Berties are just imitating...'won't the real Galuber Berti please stand up. please stand up.'
now now, we wont have deserved praise here, do you not know where you are, this is bluemoanIt was a brilliant piece of work by Jérémy. The cross was absolutely fantastic, and Matheus' finish equally so.
Took me back to the days of Sterling and Sané sliding the ball to the back post for each other to score! A little SAS went down very well!More than a touch of the Agueros' about that goal.....
What helped him was his initial little miss control of the ball when he received it which made the defender half commit to a challenge, and Doku was off past him.Not sure how anyone can describe Doku's goal creating effort which prob gets us into the CL as "ok".

Really ? Fucking hell, specsaves mateMcAtee has been great in recent weeks, Scored againt Palace. Doku's been ok for 20 mins out of two games
Cant really say any more than that. He does have a right turn of speed on him though....Got to say - that pass from Jezza for the winning goal was World Class...............outside of his right boot - a thing of beauty...................
Firstly, if he was running us ragged, Dick Emery wouldnt have subbed him. Secondly, were any of us sighing with relief when Watkins came on in his place?The red cartel loving media are polishing that turn to a mirror finish.
All in the hope the scum can get some decent cash for him.
Apparently he’s been great for Villa.
He’s scored 2 PL goals for Villa, 2 and one of them was a pen.
6 in 25 PL games this season.
He’s fucking shit!
Really ? Fucking hell, specsaves mate
Thanks for explaining what a 6-pointer is. Always gives me trouble, that one...Cannot see it mentioned here but that was a real six pointer. By winning, we are 4pts clear of Villa. If they had snatched the win instead, they would have been 2pts ahead of City, hence the six pointer. Brilliant result. No idea whom Pep will select for the semi final but maybe he should keep the same eleven for the final if we meet Villa again.
Without that Edghill penalty there’s a good chance we wouldn’t be here as a club mate. Like, completely not here. Dickov missed his, so it was important the others scored and Weaver did his thing.That winning goal by Mattias Nunez might have helped City secure a Champions League place.
