Looked tired , great result , move on and self isolation nearly over .

Zack is probably the best #2 in world football.

We didn't lose a beat with him in goal.

good shout. if Cornet(damn, I hate him) scores that chance in the first half than it's likely a different game.

Just disappointed that we continue to devalue the kids. They are our future. Big name powder puffs are not.

We preach meritocracy and practice Buggins’ turn.

(One for the oldies there.)

I agree.

Good win.

But wo way Sterling and Mahrez should have lasted the whole game.

I dont even feel Sterling deserves a place on the Bench at this moment in time.

Maybe Pep was making a point to both Sterling and Mahrez.

I would love to see the hungry Youngters.

Good 3 points, final 3rd was a bit whiffy should have scored more. All front 3 were pretty poor, Silva motm again player of the season to follow. Ake did okay at left back and Steffen is far too good to be a sub keeper.

Hopefully gabby and Grealish will be back in the team soon, think we need to play KDB as a false 9/free role he hasn’t got the legs to play deeper

Considering the boy have been busy for club and Country we got the result.

City win, the scum lose, im off a few beers and a curry....lovely.

The form Sterling and Mahrez are in.

We really should be giving Palmer 30 minutes here, and there, Blooding him in.

This was an ideal game for the Lad.

Agreed pep can be a real dick sometimes.

Sterling and Mahrez were really poor today and have been for some time. I can’t see how any of the kids could be any worse. Also, the elephant in the room for me is KDB. Phenomenal goal, but ordinary performance. He’s been well down on fork for a while now dating back into last season. Thought Ake did a tidy job at LB. stones solid and Steffens some good saves. Silva clear MoM.

Low key performance but the result is what matters....

Lots of changes so it was going to disrupt the rhythm of the team and it showed in the pace at which we played.

B.Silva, Rodri and Stones were excellent...Steffan didnt do much wrong but the difference with his kicking and Edersons is clear.and its not that Steffans is bad ...its decent but Edersons makes a differnce.
Cancello good in the first half but struggled in the second.
foden decent
Stones decent and Laporte bar the one rash challenge were good as well

Makrez was very very poor.....no wonder he hasnt been starting
Sterling.....did very little and didnt get into the game...doesnt look right
Kdb - still way off the pace....his form is worrying.

We certainly need a finisher....but thank god Bernardo stayed this season!

 

[JRockBlues]

Mahrez showing his FFS form again. Sterling was marginally better when he switched to out wide and other than his goal Kev wasn't up to scratch again today. Thank goodness for Bernie (& Steffen). Not a game I'm planning on rewatching but happy with the 3 points.

Agree on Ake.His passing today was tidy and reliable,didn't give the ball away much,if at all.Steady Eddie player.
