Loved our short corner routines against Bournemouth. Not one lobbed into the box and we had about 10!

Lessens the chances of clearance headers and breakaways, keeping control and pressure. Really enjoyed them.

Repeat please City and a 2 or 3 goal victory. Cole will doubtless get a pen.

Come on City

Had a mad dream last night Pep randomly started Phillips and he scored a lob from his own half. Imagine the scenes

Was it played on Fantasy Island , with KIng Col , Franny & Big Mal on VAR :)

I think we remember it when it happens and forget it when it doesn’t. Sane, Jesus, Zinchenko, Sterling (famous last words) have never harmed us in the slightest. Kasper let shedloads of goals fly past him.

Alright I concede defeat. Joe Hart had to pick a few out of the net too.

Disappointing that Stones is injured again ,we definitely do create more when he is playing we do not have the fluency he brings , doubtful he will play but i think Rico fills that role well given the chance , we will retunr to a flat back four which will make us diffcicult to beat

Have you ever won the treble, have you F*CK!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to shove this down their shandy drinking throats today

I don't understand your score line

Are you having a moment? 2-3 means that City win but narrowly.

 

[hihosilva]

The usual arrogance and over-confidence on here. Who is our speedy left back able to keep up with Sterling in his current form? We will concede at least two counter-attack goals so I am predicting 2-3.

Well that would be 2 more goals than they have managed to score against us in the last six games. I think we're entitled to be confident.

1-3 City

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Am I right in thinking Sterling hasn’t acknowledged the City fans when he’s played against us?

I remember our fans applauding him when he went off injured at Stamford Bridge and he walked straight past us.

He did release a decent statement when he left, but I know a few have been surprised about lack of acknowledgement in the matches.

Good evening from Fresno, Calfornia. And a good 7:27am good morning to our UK home supporters. I like 3-1 City. I see some of the lineups but I prefer Bernardo on the right and Foden in the midfield. I start Grealish on the left and sub him off at the 65th for Doku. They won't be able to keep up with his pace. If Walker is on right and Gvardiol is on left, I like Dias and Akanji in middle with Akanji advancing to the midfield. If we have Rodri, Foden as an 8 and Alvarez as a 10 - we own the middle. We stop any runs Sterling makes.

It took them along time to figure out how to beat Spurs. A goal was always gonna come. But they kept constantly trying through balls and their pace and timing, with Spurs playing so high up and fatigue - they finally broke through. That doesn't happen against us.

Anyways - we're away so we go to the Hook and Ladder - Fresno Chelsea Blues home bar - and we have it out there. See you in about 9 hours.

NOBODY goes there anymore !
