Yeah same here, only another couple of league games to go and I think we’ll see Phillips after the World Cup.

Don't hold your breath, waistcoat will flog him to death and he'll finish up coming back injured for 2 months

What a completely underwhelming manager he is. Maybe there’s a place for him back at Boro after this.

What the fuck was up with the ref today? Did he catch his wife jilling herself to pictures of Grealish? Some awful decisions.

Scouser

Early days I know but Eddie's save has to be a contender for save of the season.

Superb save, and a major highlight preceded it, namely the corner to the edge of the box and a perfectly struck volley. That and KDB's goal made it worth the trip.

Brilliant 3 points against a team that had no ambition to make a game of it for the first 70 minutes. However should we be a little worried we haven't scored a goal from open play (I appreciate VAR disallowed the goal at Klanfield) in the last 4 away games?

No

Let’s put that into context, though, shall we?

1) Copenhagen: Played most of the game with 10 men in CL, where the job was to not lose.

2) Liverpool: Nuff said.

3) Dortmund: Good team, needed 1 pt to win CL Group…and did it.

4) Leicester: We DID score, and scoring from a dead ball is most teams’ best chance of scoring against us.

While it’s great that we averaged almost 3 per game early doors, like Haaland scoring hat tricks every game, it’s just not possible and teams set up to nullify you.

And, in the CL, nearly all teams deserve respect, because they can ALL play.

Well said!
I was at Leicester yesterday and if City ever set up like they did, for a home game, I will stop going to matches. This is the premier league in the world and Leicester set up with 11 men behind the ball for almost 80 minutes, with zero ambition and giving up almost 66% of the pitch before approaching us to challenge for the ball, its no surprise we found it nigh on impossible to breach them!
But breach them we did and they got what they deserved - nothing.

I dont agree.While the Leicester game plan was mind numbing,and justified its blink and you miss it billing on MOTD,it also catered for their strengths and very nearly gained them a point.
Had they decided to go toe to toe we'd have found ourselves walking away with a very healthy goal tally,and Leicesters predicament cannot afford such.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Kevin De Bruyne is one of the greatest overall players of all time, in my honest opinion - not just his playing/vision/skill, but, the man is so humble - he is real class, he doesn’t have to brag, the man is a living legend. Simply irreplaceable.

Heard the Akanji song too, fans very creative!
