By literally every metric we're in a better position now than we were in November 2022.

Yes but apart from that ? :)

And yet at this point last season, when we had both Gundogan and Mahrez, we were behind Arsenal in the league, three points worse off after 13 games, and had just dropped points at home to Everton and lost to Brentford. Considering the level of upheaval the squad has had this summer just gone, considering how many new lads we're having to blood in, and considering KDB, Jack, and Johnny Stones have all been missing/unfit, we're doing very well.

This.

Said earlier it would be 1-1 and Guardiola would get it wrong. Got abused by ‘top blues’.

Some things never change

Care to elaborate on what pep got wrong nostradamus?

Typical post international break game. We were never gonna lose today, I actually expected a draw. frustrating we couldn’t hang on to win.

Thought we played some very good stuff in this

Akanji looked good playing the Stones role
Doku rinsed TAA over and over
Haaland worked hard and got the goal he deserved
Bernardo is just an amazing player
Ederson's passing was outrageously good
Rodri again excellent

So many positives in this game and we got another hard game chalked of

Onwards and upwards

How about the ref do their jobs and not bow to media pressure. The crowd have literally zero effect on Stockley Park.

Thay do though, crowd gets into a frenzy, media start all there ''I think it should be given...word and sentiment trickles through the VAR room at Stockley re public opinion and consensus = they take ages and eventually bow to pressure = GOAL!!!!!...that's how it rolls with other top 6 teams...

It’s a different landscape. Lots of cannon fodder at the bottom of the league, a high tide raises many boats. Furthermore, we will be playing catch up after the world club cup. Better than last year? We’ve conceded ground, especially on the road. Wolves and Arsenal beat us without offering too much.

There's cannon fodder at the bottom every season. That's why they're at the bottom. Southampton, Leeds, Everton, Leeds, all of them garbage last season. As always with this City team, if we're within 3 to 5 points off the top by the time February/March comes around, we go on and win it. Best to leave these "are we better or worse?" chats until crunchtime. We were fucking bobbins until about January/February last season and we had players like Cancelo being kicked out the club mid-season. Would have been easy to write us off - I did, so did many others. So far this season it looks like we've got a happy, young squad full of potential and with loads of key players to come back from injuries.

missed Jack today, hope he`s back soon

God we miss Kev.
That 2nd half was made for him with his bursting runs and eye for an assist or goal
