Accusing someone of diving when they havent should be a bookable offence.

And a free two footed challenge at a time of the accused players convenience.

It's a cunts truck and is happening more and more.

I remember the rag Jonny F Evans accusing Sergio like that. The ref fell for it and they hacked, tripped and pulled him all over the area without sanction.
We still beat them.
 
We got better the longer the game went on, and against a very good team. The last ditch defending at 2-0 was fantastic to see.

I'd like to see Foden and Cherki being closer together on the pitch, because their interplay causes havoc, but we only saw it a couple of times today, and it led to a goal.

I thought it was Reijjnders best game so far (low bar so far admittedly), I thought he contributed quite a lot to e team that looked assured.

Not sure where you get "poor first half" from either, we largely controlled the game, yes they had chances but we defended most of them well. In fact I thought it was our best defensive game of the season comfortably, and the way we saw out the second half was excellent.

Even a great run by Savinho to win the penalty.

I'd give 7/10 for everyone, and couple of others higher.

A difficult team (and away game) negotiated relatively easily, especially after midweeks efforts.

Poor in the sense that we were quite open and didnt control the game at all. ...second half was very different...the team was a lot closer together and much more connected as a result.

On Riejnders im sorry - baring the first game vs Wolves (who could go down as the worst ever prem team) he has been nothing short of pathetic and NOTHING today was better than any other game he has played...his work rate is shocking, he cant tackle, doesnt retain possession, doesnt work back to get goal side when out of possession. At present he is fucking shocking....he creates very little - he is a goal threat but that is about it....

Its not just about today - its every time he s on the pitch

He has the ability - I have zero doubt about that but that almost makes it worst....and the time arguement with a player who is 27 doesnt work - Ferna came in at roughly the same age and immediately hit the ground running and got better....Reijnders couldnt get much worse at present.

It was a positive run by Sav - would have liked to see him slot it away but at least he got the penalty - but his position is the bench at present and coming on near the end of matches to try and build his confidence....nothing more

Most were 7's Id agree but not Reijnders (4 at best) and possibly Donarumma (6) - flapped again and should have caught one he punched as well....Foden if he hadnt of scored would have been a 6 - he has played a lot better recently
 
Great result that after a difficult physical battle midweek. They are a tough team, we rode our luck at little at times and their finishing wasn't the best. We had a much better second half. The midfield still needs some work.

Massive result tiday against a very good team and we are moving in the right direction but we still need to tighten defence and hopefully in Jan we work on it . Title is now in our hands ha

Great win! Most importantly, since the Fulham game we have stopped the second half collapse, we’re definitely in the conversation now.

We’ve seen time and time again the need for players to adjust to the city system. Reindeer has the attributes for sure. At the moment though the game looks a bit too fast for him and he needs to adjust to that. I’m hopeful

He just needs to add 10lbs muscle and take some courses in being more physical then get stuck in properly.
