At about the midway point in the second half I remember thinking to myself: "I don't remember seeing Stones or Laporte touching the ball this half."

True, but we look a lot better with this, our best, centre back pairing IMO

class.

The good thing is with those two we have learnt that when our other options are being marked these two can move the ball comfortably into midfield and then making the killer pass. A joy to watch

Zinchenko with two assists? Well done that man

His assist for Aguero's second was truly a thing of beauty.

Lesson of the day.... never ever question the genius that is Pep Guardiola

A lesson some folk learnt a considerable time ago...

There are still plenty that think they know better than Pep. Clueless.

Zinnie really impressed me. He was very very good yesterday.

 

[Fil Phoden]

Up the Zin!

 

[paulchapo]

Superb rant, absolutely hilarious. His eyeballs were nearly popping out of his head.

Ha ha ha!!!! Absolutely brilliant! Has anyone checked on him, is he still alive after that lol?? He wouldn't have survived one season supporting us I n the bad old days.

Sarri is a shockingly stubborn and poor manager. No chance he'll last in this league for very long.

lol

Carraghers face was a picture today, you could just see his train of thought written all over his face.

Impossible given he doesn’t have a brain.

 

[Stoned Rose]

One thing no one can deny about this team - they certainly turn up tooled up for the ‘big games’.

If we stopped being ridiculous against the smaller teams we could quite conceivably go unbeaten all season

 

[thelongbowman]

its been said before, the only thing that can beat us is us.

Complacency and not running about enough is our only enemy.

The chumps league refs may prove me wrong but if we start with energy and focus I cant see any team beating us.

This just feels like our year for a huge trophy haul with Pep and his team comfortable with tactics and with each other; and with a couple of them entering their twilight years they may feel this is the their last chance to win with this club. The blend of youth and experience plus the development of Raheem, Berni and Leroy gives us so much energy.

Lovely feeling for a Monday morning.

We are fantastic in big games at home. Someone said it before, the only thing that can beat us is ourselves.

I'm concerned about Bournemouth away in a few weeks.

This guy is a happy bunny

Top ranting. LOL

I was just waiting for the fan to spin off its axis and decapitate him.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I thought Chelsea looked ok in parts yesterday. I have watched us leather team that didn't leave their own half but Chelsea did have a few shots

They remind me of us in Guardiola's first season, they are trying to do something but they just haven't got enough good payers
