Gareth Barry's 20 pass wonder goal.

Not alone that but...
Hart, Richards, Lescott, Barry, Milner, Johnson...

Six England internationals on the same City team. That's a rarity... would be a rarity on any modern-day Premiership team, I suppose, but for it to occur at the club that's going to go pear shaped because of the new squad rules and has recently been responsible for "ruining England's divine right to win the World Cup" (I think that's the direct quote from The Mail!) it is surely even more remarkable.

There was a post on here, last week, quoting some pathetic, little man who had been counting the national flags beside the player's names in the Spurs programme and thought it worth mentioning in his match report (I use the term loosely) that we've 21 different nationalities whist good ol' 'arry's boys is all salt-a-de-eart' cockernees, innit. Wonder what if he has any concept of just how big a twat he looks now...


(Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere. I didn't see it and either my pc or the site is running too slow to keep searching).
 
It was a fantastically well worked goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal. But what I enjoyed just as much was the smile on Sheikh Mansour's face when it went in. And even before that when Johnson hit a 25 yarder that screamed past Liverpool's right hand post. That was the look of a man who appreciates his football. Oh to be that young and that rich. The things I could do. Go to the space station would be on my list.
 
Agree! Only a couple of the passes though:

Just been on the Guardian website and using their chalkboards got the info on the passes for the Gaz Baz goal.

Click below for what I think should work. Not sure how to post the actual image on the site yet though.

Took a screenshot of it for now:

How was that created? Nice.
 
Yea I noticed how good it was on the repeat of Monday nights football this morning. I noticed us knocking it around nicely and then I saw Yaya's footwork and it dawned on me that the move was about to become our first goal. It was a much better goal than I realised at the time, quality football
 
It was a great goal. I find myself having to fight the allardyce and pullis in me when watching city these days, the amount of times i was crying out for more men in the box and for a cross to be swung in. Great composed football with more to come and apparently it takes a couple of months to gel, I cant wait.
 
just think what they will do when they start to gell instead of playing like a bunch of strangers

Dead easy. You don't need to sign up, only if you want to be able to save it and show it to others. REally intuitive, very guardianesque and just really interesting.

I like looking at the passes and noticing how many were side ways, not so many long raking ones going forward but they all ilnked up nicely into the Spanish tippy tap style of play.

Look at the tackles as well and you'll see how much more we domintaed than Liverpool.
