That's made me feel so much better :)Wouldn't have counted anyway, Alvarez was offside in the build up i think

Walker has definitely lost a yard this season, some players are getting by him now who he would have burned off even last year. Still a great player but may need to think about replacing him sooner rather than later. And with a proper defensive, pacy, recovery full back, not a teenager who can play in CMAkanji really is the £16m defender he is.
Doesn't get touch tight, Pep screaming at him repeatedly to do so.
Can't win shit in the air and positionally weak.
The drop off is huge which is a shame, because he looked composed on the ball when he first arrived.
Walker has defo peaked and, dare I say it, losing a bit of pace.
De Bruyne continues to frustrate and be careless, while Mahrez played for himself.
Decent first half from Bernie, Gundo and Rodders, and job done by then.
A second half to forget, such was the boredom.
Not applicable?
I’d play Bernardo there again, his energy and ability to keep the ball will really help us with the midfield battle
Yep, I think we need to show balls and be brave. Our inverted full back is there primarily to allow us to build up better, which in turn gets us higher up the pitch, which in turn allows us to deal with counters better and defend better. So there’s an argument we could actually give up fewer chances with Bernardo there instead of Ake. Build up is the most important part of the game for the way we play, so I say we play the players that maximise how well we do that. And this game was the perfect glimpse into what we can be like without Ake, Akanji and even Lewis (nothing against him, but we’re better with experienced midfielders playing midfield right now). Let’s be brave.Not applicable?

Looks onside to PGMOLKeep seeing people saying that Villa's attempt at the end that hit the bar would have been a world class goal.
No it wouldn't have been, because Duran was about a yard offside when the ball came through. Our defenders did their job.

He oozes class and was our only player to come down to the SS/110 corner to clap fans of both teams, he did clap what was left of the villa ones nut they just boo'd again. Fucking peasants.Disgusting treatment of Jack from cheap Villa fans. HE gave his all for that club & they boo him. Shit club shit fans. So glad he got the penalty
City, on the other hand have class fan’s who always treat ex players with respect- unless, of course, they diss us after they’ve left. Are you listening James?
If someone could make this point on the Villa website???
Do you mean like the one he saved from coutinho
I’d be ok with this even if it meant KDB left out.Just my opinion. We all have one.
I wouldn't start Mahrez at Arsenal.
Bernie to come into the middle with Rodri and Gundo.
Foden wide right for Mahrez. Walker, Dias, Laporte and Ake in a traditional four.
