Agree. He wasn`t there to look for any attention but tried to let the game flow with some good old fashioned tackles going in. Very good in my opinion.

I think the fact no one is talking about him or ny decisions sys it all.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Tbf that’s quite funny

 

[Pontypool Blue]

tbf mate they are a different team with toney playing the slots

FIFY

We've conceded first and gone on to win in our last 4 matches away which is always concerning, but this season we have the belief we can not only get a draw but go on to win, and that's pretty reassuring and very pleasing.

 

[jimharri]

think we have a good idea of what he said to Kyle.

Their knobhead fan's were chanting it continuously

I'm just wondering if that's enough for Kyle to go to the referee about? Racism or homophobia, I could understand. But being taunted about his private life? Is it nice? No, of course not. I'm just not sure what action the authorities can take. If it is just that. It may come out in the wash, eventually.

 

[Stelea]

still could in 3 weeks ;-)

Dislikable little snide, Maupay.

We scored first against Newcastle btw ;-)

Damn, I had a migraine yesterday and only realised this morning when I woke up that it's Tuesday today and I totally missed the match :(

Is it too late to give Foden man of the match?

Well spotted. I wrote that with sleep in my eyes pal; )

 

[Odd socks]

It's true that it's just kneejerk stuff. No problem. I virtually never look at the matchday thread, nor do I contribute to it.
No-one's obliged to look at it.

I only go on at half time and I'll be honest with you the comments from most are a fair reflection of the first half.
I can't watch the match and read my phone at the same time so probably miss the more reactive posts.
Thought we played really well last night and as many have said it could have been over by half time but the second half would have been pass, pass, pass rather than go for big scores.

A malfunction in his matrix of a brain.

Better when stationery.

Write on his line?

Phil Foden, take a bow son. What a revelation he's been in that attacking midfield role and he has to stay there for me. We had to get that third goal last night because at 2-1 we looked dodgy for 10 minutes and gave them some chances, 3-1 killed it. Kev looks 90% back on it, Erling probably 50%. We're purring nicely, scousers beware

And he does it all while sitting on the bench.

I cant believe how much Maupay is getting under people's skin!! grow a set.

well played City, a relentless drive to 3 points at times. The goal conceded was poor, but a freak one, you rarely see that these days. I thought at 2-1 up we were under it for about 10 mins (less) around the hour mark, but we weathered it. The intensity looked good, general control, but some shakiness at the back - i just dont really see that changing though? winning 4 away games from behind on the spin...great resolve but cant go on forever.

Haaland has some catching up to do, but worked hard mostly. I thought everyone played well.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I feel the same, especially now De Bruyne is back. Twice now we've won from conceding first and Kev's presence gives us that extra 'never say die' mentality.

Surely it;s more than twice? It feels like it's happened about 5 times to me.

Happened in last 4 away games hasn’t it?

Luton, Everton, Newcastle, Brentford.

It is but i meant twice since De Bruyne coming back from injury: )

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Great hat trick by Phil. Made me think of previous HTs by blues,away from home in London.

Ron Futcher at Stamford Bridge ,1978 iirc,which included a superb stooping diving header ,Niall Quinn at Selhurst v Palace ( left foot right foot and great header) and of course Dzeko bagging four at WHL ,left foot, right foot ,and a superb back header....shut spuds up good and proper.

Any other capital hat tricks by Blues ?

 

[youngbob]

Very good performance last night. Battered them from the first minute. How it was only 1-1 at half-time is still a mystery to me but thankfully it didn't matter in the end. We're clicking now.

 

[ActonBlue]

This comment on the Brentford forum made me chuckle -

'City have had more possession than The Exorcist' .

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

I've seen a few YT channels say the same :)

Either way we need to stop conceding
