Big result tonight, But it was never in doubt even going down 1.0 the result was always going to be City winning.
We now have this scary feeling when you face us, IT'S NOW AN ELITE club (MANCHESTER CITY). It's like we have a new swagger about us and you are watching GREATNESS, even if we let in a sloppy goal it's ok we will score 3 or 4 that is the measure of where we are right now.

Greatness is used far too often with other clubs in the Premier League that don't deserve it or go on to prove it
This Manchester City team and manager prove it and that is the difference in this League

We do have that incredible hulk 'don't make them angry'/ shit, you had to go and poke the bear...' feel to us...

Away fans superb tonight. I’ve lost my voice.
Before the game they showed a video of them beating us on the screens. Like a proper montage with graphics and stuff. Didn’t have the desired effect.
Small time c**ts.
Oh and their goal was sponsored by Fullers Pride. It’s like 1980 again.

We had a lack of control up until 3rd goal. Kovačić,/Nunes/Stones needed badly Rodri was exhausted

There was no one helping him out defensively. We had five attackers out there and just Rodri in front of the back four with both fullbacks playing wide. No wonder he was worn out.

Isn’t he German?

Yes and ???

Absolutely spot on.

We have the air now of Pep’s great Barca team or the Milan team of the late 80s. If we retain the CL I think we join teams like that in the pantheon. Mad to think I’m writing a sentence like that about City :-)

I’ll keep it to myself until it ever comes into play. It may or may not.

I see two possible routes for your theory...

I wouldn't say we conceded a ridiculously week goal, certainly nowhere near as ridiculously weak as Van Dijk and Alisson's joint blunder.

To be honest it was a bit crap. Punt upfield, goal. Not for the first time this season. We are showing lots of fight to come back though, Luton, Everton, Newcastle and now Brentford. It will catch us out eventually though.

Both me and our lad said the same thing. Some how seems to have gone backwards and has as many brain farts as Walker has over the past year. Dont get me wrong I love em both but by fuck he needs to up his game.
However I have to say that Dias did make some wonderful last minute blocks but doesn`t look as comfortable at times.
Guess we can all have a good moan, but we won. ;)

Yes agree with you. when it was 2-1 he gave a dreadful pass which gave them a good chance and then made a tremendous block to save a goal.
his form is not as good as the last 2 seasons. could be he's missing Stones alongside or could be he's trying to ge too clever a bit like Kyle has been thus season. his love life could be a factor too.
but in the pressure situations I'd have Ruben over anyone else in the squad.
