Good point and yes I should have said performances and not form. Points gained is impressive but we are really struggling to put games to bed. Maybe last season's huge efforts have taken a toll as we don't control and dominate games as much as we normally do.

Certainly not today. Games come thick and fast now though. I don’t think we have played that well all season but we are still hanging in there. We will know soon enough as March is a difficult month for us.
 
Win is a win. Results matter more than performances at this stage - a few positives and another clean sheet. Get in!
 
Better result than performance. The plan was good, drawing them forward and then spinning them to drive into the space, but the execution in the final third was erratic and lacked conviction. Been impressed by Bournemouth in both fixtures and they gave a good account of themselves.

He got a booking today! Wonder if that was his first tackle after every member of the Bournemouth team had clobbered him?

Absolutely clattered numerous times. Controlled play all first half, has to be right wing and a cm and a 6 and some think he was a liability. Fair enough.

Yer gonna jinx us! They waiting on the EFC shenanigans and then they gonna see how many points we end up with subtract the number that would deliver us an eighteenth place and there yer go - relegated - having shown the world how to play the game. Yep, the English invented the game, despite what Blatter thinks, and City took it to the highest level it's ever been.

Well that was crap

Cant ever start nunes and kovacic, neither are any where bear up to any speed at all.
Having said that, bernardo was well below par again

You’ve obviously been a fan a long time - how is winning crap? Kovatic was superb today and when him and Nunez went off we lost total control. I agree Bernie was off it today. It should have been him who was hooked

Take the blue tinted glasses of mate , the positive was we played so poorly and still took the three points , lets hope its a blip and despite a decent points return the last three games have been underwhelming against teams that last season we would have pummelled.
We are missing a fully fit KDB to open up teams and relying too much on Phil to provide the magic at the moment , will never give up on the league title but we need to shake off this wastefullness in front of goal.

No tint on my specs.

We didn’t rob Bournemouth of any points. The result wasn’t unfair.

Our performance wasn’t great but the old adage that you can only beat what is in front of you applies.

Hopefully when we face the Red Cartel, we can field our best team, which looked fabulous vs Copenhagen until Jack went off.

I just go one game at a time. I don’t have a crystal ball so I don’t know what will happen in the next game but I expect Luton away will be tricky.
