?

In other words. Just fuck off.

He's turd!!

 

[waspish]

Nunes was brilliant but make no mistake O’Reily gives us that balance and he was excellent he scored as well!

 

[M Gaudino]

bbc stats have us at 48% possession that cannot be right

 

[TFC]

Very happy with that, much more like the City we know and love. Still tons of work to do, but great signs.

 

[spacecadet]

Good solid performance Blues.

 

[I remember the kool kats]

Gary Nevilles face says it all! sorry not.

 

[Stoned Rose]

So happy that Nico G is gettibg the love he deserves. Unreal again!

That bit first half where he turned into prime Dave and wriggled away from 4 players before giving a slide rule pass forward was a liberty.

 

[hertsblue]

Great performance but really need to put more chances away and kill off games earlier. Should have been more than one goal in front at half time.
Corrupt officiating by Taylor, up there with his performance v Chelsea years ago. Should not be officiating our games.

@hendo

Come on lad. You was all over the villa post match thread, where are you?

We've just won and gone second.

Midfield ok for you today?

All on pep?

The have us at 3-1 as well so stop being a fanny.

 

[Withnail]

Probably our best 90 mins of the season, obviously first half was better, but second half was decent. Encouraging signs with Cherki, Foden and Haaland all linking up well.

Big shout out for Nunes who put in an immense performance up against Semenyo.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Can someone is US tell me — who was the colo(u)r commentator on USA paired with Jon Champion?

 

[Chak19]

One of the best performances of the season, just need to cut out that now usual sloppy first 10 minutes after the break where we just give the ball away cheaply, bring on the dippers.

 

[youngbob]

Good performance there. We're definitely seeing a new kind of City now. One that lets opponents play themselves into trouble and hits them unexpectedly.

0.72xG from Bournemouth (a chunk of which was from the corner goal) from 52% possession is an encouraging stat from our perspective.

 

[mattcity5]

So many good performances, there had to be, Bournemouth are very good.

Lots of attention will go to Haaland and Cherki (and understandably), but Gonzalez and Bernardo were both quietly brilliant. You could pretty much justify picking any of the starting outfield XI as player of the match, and it's been a long time since I've thought that.

 

[hertsblue]

Really enjoyed that! Even Alti eventually realised he wasn't going to influence the result and reffed it fairly after we went 3-1 up!

Noticed that also, they got their 1st yellow after 3-1 and a token late 2nd to make it look even

 

[NorCalBlue]

Gonzalez, Cherki and Haaland been truly special this past week. Bernardo, Phil, Nunes and O'Reilly solid again.

I don’t know - Haaland did fuck all against Swansea

 

[yerwot?]

tf refs havent twigged we are a threat at corners....to ourselves...

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Very very good performance against a team very much inform. Still felt like we had a couple more gears in us if we needed. Feels like things are coming together with Cherki now up to speed, rodri coming back (and nico gonzalez doing so well) and the big man up front firing.

Shame for the goal but didnt cost us so hopefully thats The Dons mistake out of his system

Yeah, bbc don't create it it's fed from official sources. Sky, espn, they all have us as 48, 48.1 etc. We're learning to be better with less of the ball.
