Best we've played for a while IMHO.

COYB. Seems in the bag already. Very very difficult to see these lot scoring 3 without conceding one in the second half. Job seems done.

One thing about this game: 2 teams not trying to kick each other, roll around holding their face, scream etc. Makes it so easy for the guy in the middle to just referee in the shadows. He hasn't had much to do. Yes, I know, the foden free kick shouldn't have been given but, hey ho.

Let's take some older/key players off. We have a game on Sunday and I don't think we can catch up in terms of goal difference. STILL 9 goals away from the Arses as it stands.

It won't come down to goal difference.

Decent.

As for ones who’d settle for a point, show yourselves.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Brilliant ref. Hasn't put a foot wrong.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

Superb stuff. Couldn't have much better that half.

Really helped by Brighton being absolutely woeful. As they were against Arsenal to be fair. At least they haven't bothered to raise their game against City.

With the exception of Ederson, Akanji, Ake, and Gvardiol, you’d be hard pressed to say what position any other player is playing. People bang on about numbers, positions, and systems, but when Haaland is out, Guardiola is deploying us with a fluidity that is quite irresistible.

Kev off for Nunes please, Foden another 20 for Grealish.

 

[kunaguero10]

Halves of football simply don’t get much better than that

Goldbridge not going to watch the second half. Apparently, the Premier League is boring. I'm assuming that he found it equally boring when his adopted club was hoovering up titles in the 90s and 00s?

He didn’t support them then. He saw a business opportunity and became a “fan” much later.
