Absolutely fine with players giving each other a bollocking, happens all the time. I'm thrilled he's doing it in his second game. They were all smiles and hugs when they came out for the second half.

It is very common for players to have a go for not having the ball passed to them in those situations , I was listening on the City app broadcast , the Commentator never give up banging on about it !! Nano second decision by Foden , all them who never made a bad call on the pitch get some jelly babies to suck on !!

We look ominous already.

Tactically we are on a different level.

Individually superb.

Pep is a genius.

I may have missed it , but why was foden subbed at HT ?

We thought it was 'cos he had the shot instead of passing to Erling for a tap in! Erling wasn't mightily impressed and I suppose Pep did his usual Catalonian angst stance in the dressing room! He might have been suffering from the heat!

did foden pick up a knock or was he on the naughty step as it seemed strange to hook him at half time unless he was injured or the heat had got to him

Do fans look for any negative they can when a team keeps winning comfortably!?

This is in reality our 5 game these players have played so he is giving players as many minutes as possible early season to get them all involved plus we have a lot of games coming up so keeping them fresh..

The amount of whinge bags on here is embarrassing call yourselves city fans!?

I think some of our fans would be happier at the neighbours, where they could really enjoy a good moan.

The bloke next to me made a brilliant comment. He said Pep should take Eddie off and put on a forward.
Oh the shits and giggles that would have caused. I know he will never do it but, as Keegan said, I would love it.

When I worked at William Hill Bookmaker's in Harpurhey back in the early 80’s you could have bought the Market for a tenner, is it still going?

Lol yeah... And it's been upgraded too! You wouldn't recognise the place... :-)

Cant fully agree with that. Spurs don't often come up against a back 8, and kane is able to drop deep into space which with city doesn't exist. Already full of midfield and 2 FB as well as opposition, and when kane drops deep its usually to be the provider not scorer.
His first against West ham he was on the shoulder of the last defender to get penalty. The second again last defender but with space to run as west ham more open. His presence almost a good as a goal.
I think erling is going to find it more difficult to score as opposition often park the bus at etihad. I think he'll score more away than at home. As long as win I'm happy.
I do think he has a lot to learn though.

Great Post. My thoughts exactly.

Good to hear, it wasn’t the best of area’s at the time but the locals were always very friendly, didn’t have any problems back then unlike some other places in Manchester.
