Emery Dicked.

"Oooh you are awful"

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

European champions mate

Beating Valur, Dynamo Berlin, Dynamo Kyiv and Anderlecht to get to the final no less.

Think the Pep talk did the trick, fans defo came out swinging and singing. In a way the result didn’t matter though of course nice to win. I was hoping for a verse of ”are you watching Macclesfield “ but all good.

start Laporte， and start to see the beautiful build-up. Beautiful Mancity Style.

How about the sitter Mahrez missed ..or is it only Villa chances that count?
First half we could have been 5 or 6 up..got lucky my arse

Grealish denied by a worldie from Martinez for one

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Any other day and that finishes 3-3, got lucky second half.

Ref was doing his best again to keep our score down and when he couldn't chalk any of them off he thought he'd just give Villa a leg up. Same old, same old!

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

There was contact though, wasn’t there? Has there ever been a football player who doesn’t cut across a defender when they get ahead of them. You need to look at the decision by your defender (Konsa?).

100%. defender clips JGs back leg making him kick into his own forward leg. Everyone has done it at sometime, except Tyler and Neville of course.

Goin down with the villa.............

championship championship we are coming

 

[Lavinda Past]

He’ll be on the bench.

Definitely. I'd love to think he will only be coming on for a run out because we're already four up!

He's got the talent to change a game. Let's hope he's back on form if we do need him!

That’s one way of looking at it. Another is any other day and we’re 5 or 6 up before they score

It was a horrible last 20 but overall we fully deserved the 3 points

 

[Bozzie]

Typical second half in a match were one team’s 3 up and away at the league leaders in midweek. Looked slick and sharp first half, Bernardo never put a foot wrong, Laporte’s passing range is such an asset and Rodri and Gundo both excellent. Bring on Wednesday!!

His booking of Dias was a joke, but our players have to understand we are reffed differently and stop picking up idiotic bookings like that.

Ederson, 7 - performance was a big relief today

Walker, 8 - another relief
Dias, 8 - thank god he's fit again
Rodri, 10 - covered every inch of grass and scored
Laporte, 7 - another one I'm happy to see returning

Gundogan, 8 - proper box to box stuff today
Bernardo, 7 - covered a lot of ground, bit unlucky for Villa's goal
De Bruyne, 9 - nice to have you back, Kevin

Mahrez, 6 - was in and out the game, took his penalty well
Haaland, 8 - just get the ball to him and watch him cause chaos
Grealish, 9 - deserved one of those amazing crosses to be finished off

 

[JRockBlues]

Nice to see the players haven't lost their sense of humour...

Yes true, we was away with the fairies most of the second half .

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Job done

Well done City

Fuck off Sky

Only 28 pages?

I thought this thread would be awash with giddy rags after today.

Great win. Sets wednesday up nicely.

 

[waspish]

Think we should play the channels more balls over the top when team press us! Great 3 points thought now on the beating the pretenders

I thought Rodri was really poor and sloppy in the last half hour tbh, in total contrast to the first 60 minutes

Mint by everybody connected at the club today. Even the dickhead 3 rows back from me who chats so much shit for 90 minutes it hurts.

That first half was vintage, fans and players in unity to make sure we were on top of it all. Dull second half but to be expected, game was won and a massive game in 3 days.

Isn’t it amazing what passing forward can do!?
