Rodri is so pivotal for us now.

What a perfect weekend of results. If you'd offered me 1 point off top after having played Spurs, Leicester and Chelsea all away from home in the first six matches, I'd have bitten your hand off.

How fucking weird was this btw

Does he not punch Grealish in the Kidney as they start to stand up?

Looks like he was holding himself back from taking a swing which sounds mad but he literally got sent off on the final day last season for wacking Jack in the face, clearly hates playing against him.

He’s always been a prick that one

Simple.

Press from the front and stifle the opposition. Only happens when Foden, Jesus, Kev and Bernie play. Add Grealish into that we now have five rabid dogs stopping the opposition even getting in our half. If they do Dias and a born again Laporte certainly know how to defend.

Whilst I get your point I think you are being a bit simplistic in this view in the first half Chelsea were definitely sitting back and the obvious plan was to hit is on the break with Werner and Lukaku.
I don't think it was due mainly to our "rabid dogs" pressing them back, although I did think we pressed very well, but they were obviously letting us have the ball in the first half second half they created more chances especially after Jesus scored.
I must admit I thought we were never going to score, a familiar pattern too many games where teams of sat back.
This was Chelsea though on their own pitch, I expected much more from them and I thought Tuchel made a big error in his tactics.
I don't think Liverpool will sit back they will undoubtedly send their rabid dogs to attack us, especially the first 20 minutes at Klanfield.

Only if those 2 sit out of psg, rodri was fucked on 85mins Bernardo looks like he can run all day but it’s got to impact deep down

For me rodri was fantastic throughout the game, we need both at liverpool game

 

[blueabdi]

That’s my favourite City 11.
Harsh on one or two but those are our in form players.

Exactly, but we need to rest them second half if we are leading at psg. They were fantastic.

Just realised that if we had lost 1-0 we would now be seventh and six points behind Chelsea. That was a genuine six pointer in the traditional sense.
