Mahrez was really great today, hope he can keep the performances coming

First time for a few years I wasn't nervous when the ball was in our defensive third. Cancelo was very good and offers a lot more balance. Diaz is a class act and bringing the best out of our defence. Stones had his best game for a few Seasons. Up front its just not working . Perfect game to try out a few kids late on.

Would have liked to see Delap on the bench to get some minutes

Who are you leaving out and pissing off though? One of Torres, Foden or Bernardo would have to be out of the squad to accommodate him. One will already have to miss out entirely when Aguero is on the bench. Barring another injury crisis, the kids are getting minutes in the League Cup and that’s it this season. And even then there has to be a balance between kids and fringe senior players. Their chances are very slim, such is the depth of the squad.

I think 9 pts will see us top and hopefully even a couple of points clear.

the league is there for the taking for any team who wants to put a run together

Don’t write any of those off yet, we’ve seen what can happen with complacency

How likely is it that the same team as today starts against Utd?

Agree utd will not be easy we struggle against that style. First goal crucial next week

Subs Pep?

We've just played in midweek. Imagine if a player had got injured. I didn't understand that.

KDB still looks below par. On the other hand Mahrez was again on top form.

Well he doesn't have to imagine, he's a professional football manager with a team of sports scientists and physios. He didn't just forget.

True, but if you said to one of the lads btw you’re gonna be on the bench but not play it doesn’t make a difference. If you go with the idea of oh you’ll play the next game in its entirety but i want gabby rested this game for a bit so Delap will take ur spot it’ll be fine. Walker and Ake missed out due to Garcia so whats the difference

As routine as you like. The early goal helps A LOT, but it's nice to be complaining about missed opportunities rather than the struggle to break teams down. Rodri and Gundogan get a lot of criticism, but I thought they ticked along nicely in the middle, and Stones wants to move forward quicker which surprisingly looks like it really helps the team. I continue to be impressed by Dias and Cancelo.
