A physical centre back pairing will be crucial against United's blitzkrieg free the air. Get Mangala ready for it. Kompany has to be there though. Great results so far today

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Dare I say they look like shark teeth ;)

stones is a blow but if their is any good time for a player to be out its now as were through in the champs lge wouldnt like to have lost him if we needed to win our remaining games,,,great day city well done

We play something ridiculous like 14 games in 45 days... how is this a good time?? John Stones could miss ALL of those games, and we are relying on injury-prone players like Delph and Vinnie to play almost every game...

Stats saying they didnt have a shot on target. Playing an hour with both first choice cbs out. Hopefully our shape is so well drilled anyone can come in and we don't skip a beat.

Another test passed. Another clean sheet. Onwards and upwards.

 

[M12Blue]

A

Yes I acknowledge that but he needs to have more than 1 good game to be a useful member of this squad.

And how does he achieve that, I know he plays games and gets our support.

Out of curiousity what poor decision did Mangala make?
He made a couple of misplaced passes but wasn't the only one.

I haven't looked, but I suspect he had a better pass completion % than KdB today, I'd take that every game. Did his job competently against a difficult team to defend against.

I think you’ll find sane was a little more guilty of losing ball in possession and so give them a break away. However Let’s get mangala, he’s the chosen one for the moaners

The difference is Mangala is a CB. Not losing possession is basically his job. Also, it's one thing to lose possession trying to score a goal, and another to give it away while setting up at the back with little to no pressure. I'm glad that we won but we really need a new CB and soon.

Outstanding again all over the pitch

Hopefully mangala can step up fir the December rush of games. He did well when he came on

If Kompany stays fit he won't be playing much in the Prem I wouldn't have thought. I'd maybe play him against Feyernoord/in the cup at Leicester and against Shaktar though.Did ok today. Set up two nice attacks with a couple of long passes.

Kompany...class as usual.

Tactially, that tackle on Vardy was absolutely the right thing to do when, last season, Kolarov and Stones had the chance to do similar and we ended up conceding both times.

Legend.

Don't agree at all.

Tactically, being 1-0 down with 90 minutes left is better than being 0-0 and down to 10 men with 90 minutes left.

Bad decision, got away with it.
