Directly after Bernardo scored he pointed at Sane to give credit for the assist, while Sane pointed towards KDB for the through ball. The team spirit is really high!

Something I only clocked on the highlights was that after Aguero's second, Sergio got congratulated but everybody was all over Gundagan for the backheel. It was like they knew how much it meant to him after the injury and being in and out of the side. We are seeing this time and time again. The staff have engendered a real team spirit amongst them all, something which won't be easy in the modern era and particularly with players from around the world.

It's another significant piece of Pep's jigsaw and one that isn't noticed as much as it should be.

Teams must now be realising that parking the bus doesn't work against us. May as well have a go and go down fighting. I hope Liverpool have a go at us - leaving space for Kevin, David, Sergio, Raheem and co to exploit. To be honest, I don't think Liverpool know any other way to play than to attack. Not only are we the best attacking team, we're far and away the best team without the ball.

but but but we haven't got the fab four ,or defence is dodgy (but we have the best defensive record) and they have VVD. If Mane hadn't of been sent off we would of got beat 3-0 despite leading 1-0.
 
I don't have a problem with Burnley or any other mid to low table premiership team. I think Dyche has done a great job to get them where they are. What I do have a gripe with is when most teams come to the Etihad singing where were you when ... and your just a ... , Then moan when they get it back in spades. We have been one of the most loyal fan bases, especially with Trafford troglodytes winning everything while we were yoyoing up and down the leagues. It wouldn't surprise me that if a lot of their fans when they were in the lower leagues, were Trafford or bin dipper fans.
 
I just have a problem with them singing "Is this a library?"......like any fucker from Burnley's ever been in a library!

When Maureen's Chelsea (first time round) used to come to our ground, their fans used to chant 'You're only here for the Chelsea'. They didn't grasp the idea that we were getting over 46,000 virtually every home game.

What gets me is we are the only ones who get, the where were you... You see pictures of The Swamp and Stamford Bridge with its running track holding about 30,000 in the 80''sand 90's. Why did Arsenal build The Emirates, West Ham move into the Olympic Stadium and Spur building new White Hart Lane, is it for loads of shinny new seats or is it to attract new fans.

Chelsea had one season when away fans were banned when attendances were less than 10,000. Newcastle were much the same.

The rags have been the best supporterted in terms of numbers regardless of empty seats for many years now but they invented the glory hunters tag!

the burnley fan and a few people recently have said if pep was manager at united they would be top of the league. really? come on how many of their players would you like at city. maybe de gea but eddie will be better in 2 years at most. i think martial would do well at city but i would not swap any other of their squad for ours. so no if pep was at united they would still be miles behind this city team

Churlish not to say De Gea is now widely regarded as the world's best. But I'm certain he wouldn't get in a Pep team - purely and simply because he's not a sweeper keeper. Progress in the Champions League will see Ederson being regarded in the elite group of goalkeepers - we know he already is though.
 
Watching the match all I could think about was "Typical City". After nicking it in the end I think that it might mean something different now...
