Thoughts on bernie today ? I would like him to get a goal

Miles better kaz. I think he needs the team to be in form for him to be in form

Last week I slagged BT's shite commentary off but it is head and shoulders above this shite. Tyler and Ratboy proving they know nothing about football and clearly hate City

Rodri has made more tackles and ball recoveries than any player on the pitch.

unseen work undone by two or three poor passes

I think he’s been good, great energy, and looking like the confidence is coming back.

This is exactly how we needed the first half to go, hopefully no way even a bent VAR call can sway this one.

Excellent performance so far. Credit where it’s due - Rodri and Gundogan both excellent in the middle. Team working hard and looking hungry, maybe they’ve finally realised it is there for the taking this year!!

Gundo player of season my a mile.

Foden showing why he should start but this is first game in prem for a while that he’s shown enough to justify it.

Kev needed that goal, hopefully it’s the start of him returning to form.

quite like playing with Raz, Foden and Kev all rotating up front.

Think this shows a lot of the time players are playing under instruction from Pep, Gundo has been steady but ineffective in several games, mainly because he's told to hold next to Rodri, he's playing in a far more advanced role and looks much better for it.

Phil has been placed wider on the left and has the full back in his pocket and that's when the full back can find him!

Kev's enjoying having Gundo further up as it allows him to come from deep and get passes off and create more space just like he was doing with Davie Silva.

Bernie and Raz's movement has been great. The Chelsea back four haven't a clue wants going on.

and on this showing Cancelo and Zinchenko could be our safest full back pair.

Said it in summer and got pelters that John was our best CB.

he’s a monster when fit and on form

 

[marco]

well. maybe more squad rotation is the thing
