Well done Guardiola.

" Has to score that " . If we'd scored a goal every time I've heard that, we'd be bagging 200+ a season.

Haaland would have buried every Alvarez chance tonight but would we have made them with Haaland in the XI?

He'd have only got the headed chance.. movement wouldn't have been the same as Julians with near post through balls... Erling moves to cb furthest from active play for crosses and tap ins

Like I've said, unless Haaland is at his top level, we simply are better with a false 9 or a 9 like ALvarez that is constantly pressing and moving out of position.

That villa wall was shocking, lol! :D

I wonder if Phil noticed their wall collapsed on the earlier Alvarez attempt. If he did, that's quality play.

I think he did. No reason to hit it straight at the wall otherwise.

He picked it up from Kev. ;-)

We're the better team but should be out of sight by now. Alvarez, there's no need to copy Erling's recent form ffs

 

[deano ou812]

You just know first couple of mins second half luiz will foul again and ref will wave it away,game could be done if Alvarez just had a bit more composure for the strike that the keeper toed away and a few inches taller for the header ..

What a bunch of boring twats Villa are.

Just take out the boring bit for a more accurate description :)

 

[Tolmie scores]

You been watching vikings headers recently?

Haaland for a big fella is sh*te in the air..fifty pence 'ed

Rico Lewis has been superb

He has. They’ve all been fine tonight. I am furious about Luiz not getting a red though. That foul on Foden gave us a goal but only thanks to hilarious set piece defending. They should be down to ten and Digne should be on a yellow too.
