Anyone know what Laporte's done to be in the dog house with Pep to the extent he's not getting played over Akanji?

Not sure he’s in the doghouse but Akanji is more physically aggressive, sometimes overly so, and against Palace that is generally what you need.

Don’t blame him for wanting him to leave been the bast left footed centre back for the last few years now. Everyone knows he wanted to leave when we came out of covid with him having a kid and wanting to be closer to home. Hope he doesn’t leave city with a stain glossed over his great city career.

Well he is looking for an argument

Does he want a five minute, ten minute or an hour's argument?

 

[manimanc]

Expect the same next week mate

It's near enough every week mate.

Probably just playing a player who wants to be here rather than one who wants to leave.

It was awful but from now til season end its about wins

 

[James2401125]

Made it back to Euston by 20.45. Had enough time to grab a butty from m&s. Successful trip in the end even if we made hard work off it

 

[johnbmcr]

dust off get home big game on Wednesday m.

Tuesday in my world

 

[The Black Shed]

Chuffed with that, we never really looked threatening tonight.

What the fuck are Micah and Sturridge wearing

It's the same brand Scott Parker wears. The clothes are from NY based fashion designer Thom Browne.

The grey cardigan that Parker wears costs £800+! :-/

Grealish and akanji were great today

Grealish was good early on, faded out of the game second half. Wouldn’t say great but if he’d buried that chance after a super run it would have been some goal

Akanji, who I’m a big fan of, overhit a few too many passes for me

 

[wilton st blue]

Excellent result but not deserved. We should have had 3 or 4 there. And all the moaners in the matchday thread wtf. Just cant go in there.

The ref, wasnt bent, was swayed by the crowd maybe but that pen - he could have not give that and still got away with it.

Motm = Bernardo for me.

WTF

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Loved it. Against such an organised side who haven’t lost at home for quite a while, a win here is heaven to my eyes.

Get in.

 

[wilton st blue]

3 points is 3 points

Didnt think City played bad but CP can just fuck off I am sick and tired of these pack the bus anti football teams. And whilst I'm at it CP can shove that drum up their arse.

CTID

And Simon Jordon before the drum please

 

[2infinity&beyond]

Yeah but there are now so many managers more suited to us than Vieira.
He's certainly not shown anything, anywhere, to suggest he is capable of the City job.

Kompany, on the other hand, has shown very promising signs at Burnley.

Fair comment but lets see what VK can do with Burnley in the PL. A different animal.

 

[wilton st blue]

Fucking hell Neville you were nearly in tears you biased ****

Horrible rag twat

 

[2infinity&beyond]

Look at the Brentford, Fulham and Brighton managers. Why shouldn’t Vieira be able to do the same and put his own more positive trademark on the team?

Yep may be something in that. Lets face it any decent manager should be able to do something with the resources we have. Even Pep couldnt do it in his first season. He needed to bring in players for success and thankfully it worked out.

 

[2infinity&beyond]

They've got some good attacking players but has them all defending. Not had a shot for 3 games. Never getting the manager's job here.

Have to agree with that.

they were Thom Browne suits weren't they? not Tom Ford

Browne fashion house is also a big supporter of refugees and UNHCR

Jesus Christ…he’s clearly not a supporter of fashion…those suits were absolutely awful. Maybe I should be more generous and say “eye-catching”
