I had 5/6 young Asian lads set next to me in place of the usual season card holders.I think we are getting more (occasional) fans who are attending the Champs League games on a fairly regular basis where they can get seats together with their mates. I noticed both at the Etihad and at the swamps, when I was in the Atalanta end, that loads of British Asians have really got into their football (or hoof ball at OT). They are different to the camera / wielding tourists IMHO.
While I am at it.

It's just what is needed,new blood to replace us older legacy fans.

The fluke own goal seem to knock us out of our stride. Got it sorted during HT and like you say turned up a notch second half, was on the front foot all half.
was comical wasn't it.
Come from nothing.
Seems the only player who was reacting to everthing then was Ederson

I did say we only got a grip on the game after Mahrez scored which was in the 54th minute, up to then we were not good at all.Did you doze off for the second half?

He will be a stalwart of the side in the near future I believe.Big mention for Palmer, whom yet again demonstrated that he is not far off the first team. Played his part in one of the goals and almost scored one himself. Fair play to the lad.
A very assured player with the confidence to take responsibility for passes/shots.
A future leader imo.

Apart from the first 20 minutes and the 5-10 minutes before Mahrez scored.I did say we only got a grip on the game after Mahrez scored which was in the 54th minute, up to then we were not good at all.

Yes.Other than a few scares in the 1st half, I honestly thought there was only one team who looked like winning the game. I think 4-1 was a fair reflection of the game.
I had Bernardo for MOTM - he was all over as usual, but I also could've picked Cancelo or Rodri and I thought Sterling caused problems when he came on.
Let's be honest, the game was really just a case of "how many" rather than being any real test. It was a job well done overall. In this group, we knew months ago which 2 teams would qualify so the decider with be against PSG to see who finishes 1st.
The real game this week is at the weekend.
Let City put the pretenders to the throne to the sword.!

Good win and very good 2nd half showing, them missing that chance seemed to really waken us up and after that we were comfortable.
Good to see Raz come on and score. I wish Pep would give Grealish a chance through the middle. he played there for about 5 minutes start of the 2nd half and set up Mahrez for a 1 on 1 which he missed...shows that he can be much better centrally?
Usual regular Ederson mistake leading to a goal, trying to make a youtube showreel save from a shot my granny could have held.
Usual tedious Billy Biggest Blues on the match day thread, the ones who open with "I never usually go on the Match Day thread...", then proceed to post about 20 times each match, always to make some really unfunny comment which they think is brilliantly witty, when in fact it's the same turgid, predictable drivel they post every Match Day thread. Odd how they never actually post about the match itself.....their sole concern seems to be deriding other posters....how very useful.
Anyway, hopefully Raz is feeling more confident now.

Can say the same thing about Jesus and Torres on the wings + up frontPep said "hierarchy" not high teams.
Zin is a better defender than Cancelo. Zin is a midfielder by trade.

Typical City!
Wonder how many other teams have the same
