Sharp shirts have gone back in the bottom drawer LOL !!!!

They 'attempted' to play football in the first half and got taught a lesson. An absolute joy to watch.

Let's see how long it takes before the rags start turning on Jose when the inevitable boring style of football becomes the norm.

I don't think they did. You have to have the ball to play football!!!!!

Second half style will be the story of their season. Lots of appealing for penalties, lots of scrappy goals. They have no flair in the team.

Well, that followed the path of our previous games! Startlingly brilliant first half, followed by opponents regrouping, pressuring us into making a mistake ( or 2) in the 2nd half, then having several chances to put the game to bed! Difference was, that we were at the Temple of Dooooom! It was if the Ghost of Moyes was still floating round in the first40 mins!!!
Normal service has been resumed, we played like we were the home side in the first half, apart from Bravo having a bit of a 'mare ( but kudos to him for carrying on the same way) and making the 2nd half more of a spectacle for the neutral! KDB was fantastic with his intelligent passing and shooting, Otomendi stayed on his feet, Stones was Kompany like, and Fernandinho intercepted and broke up the midfield.
Good job Aguero was suspended, as it really could've been a massacre

I think it's just a shame that both teams couldn't field their best teams from the start, we were missing Kompany, Sane, Gudongan and Aguero from our first 11 and they were missing Pogba.

The second half was as though we gave them the ball and said

"Right this round thing is a ball it's what you should be trying to get off us"

Thought Peps use of subs was spot on today

BBc just said "somehow city held on" well it was pretty easy really

Thought Silva, Dinho, Otamendi and De Bruyne were exceptional. Everyone else was good with the exception of Stones who was awful at times and Bravo who had an absolute debut from hell.

But overall buzzing. If we were more clinical we could have had a hatful on the counter.
