Poor first half, much better second. Great result.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Grealish was much better with runners ahead of him instead of stuck on the touchline. With Gundogan's form being poor since his return it could be worth playing him central, this weekend isnt the ideal game to try it though.

Much better going forward when Sterling and Jesus came on - the front 3 of those two plus foden should start the derby....much more effective than Mahrez and Grealish in over all play

Stones was very unlucky with the og and others were very culpable in that and overall he had a decent game,

B.Silva - MOtm again for me

Hope Walker is ok for the derby

Gundo had some good moments as well and looked more like himself. Rodri solid as usual

Cancello - its all about his mindset - it greatly effects his performances and he gets over hyped and he starts to make stupid decisions and it affects his ability even in the most simple things....play calmly and he is a better player but he seems too hyped up at present.

Much better 2nd half. More in behind rather than across the front of their defence. Quicker balls through midfield.
Like chalk and cheese those two halves.

 

[SamBlue]

Kev & raz straight down the tunnel hmmmm

They were picked by Pep to beat shit out of Grealish and Mahrez(even the goal couldn't save him).

 

[Gumzy97]

Cancelo may be bad defensively sometimes. But he's the best creative attacking full back in the world

 

[hilts]

He only smiles when he misses!

So he smiles a lot then:-)

 

[tony adcock]

Long time since I’ve been so impressed by a young player in the opposition - but their striker is one to keep tabs on

 

[super_city_si]

Cancelo, Bernardo, Foden all great. Sterling too.

Had a shite 20 minutes but got through it well enough

Cancelo was great and shite in equal measure. No middle ground for that fella

 

[Fordyboy46]

2nd half so much better but we're still not clicking, several players just not doing enough. Hard to pick the starting eleven for Saturday, hope Pep gets it right

 

[snorky]

Yes, right.

I didn't see him stay out to acknowledge our support, looked like he stropped off to me.
But I will bow to your greater knowledge on the subject.

As you are obviously a little schoolgirl.

Cancelo in a nutshell that 90 mins.
Drives you fucking mad half the time but walks off with three assists and some proper moments of magic.
Good win in fairly dull affair lit up with some individual class here and there.

second that

 

[manimanc]

Some serious bad blood between Sterling and Guardiola - difficult to judge who was the most pissed off after Sterling’s goal.

 

[WyongBlue]

Good result for us.........

 

[smallsteve]

Tale of two halves. Much much better in the second and we look threatening with foden left and raz right.

It was painful watching Grealish try to get the better of the right back, whom had him on toast all night. Pep should have done him a favour and moved him inside and pushed Foden out into his better position on the left wing.

Exactly this. When he drifted inside in the second half he immediately looked much better.

Pretty sure it will be Bernardo and KDB central, the front 3 is the conundrum wouldn’t be surprised to see the 3 that finished start.

haha what a polarizing player Cancelo is

 

[citytill1die84]

Anyway great 2nd half Cole Palmer looks to be a star in the making and Raz seemed better on the right.
