I hope they put a shot of Karanka up in the second half. Its been ten minutes and I've forgotten what he looks like.

Object permanence has never been a strength of our fan base...

Fucking excellent!

The team has the maturity to deal with this as a training session while at the same time being absolutely professional in getting the job done. Once again it's proven that, provided you're focused, you can be effective even if you run less...

Pep's setup again assures numerical superiority in all areas - and the boys respond perfectly. The only comment I would make is that we can play much more in space, with through balls behind their defensive line. We prefer to keep the ball safe as much as possible, waiting for the perfect pass / combination, but we have the ability to add more patterns in our attacking game...

Kyle and Phil have been crucial for the balances centrally.

PS. No injuries please...

Lol they are showing him again.

Gabby just needs to concentrate on the team scoring and the personal goals will come.

Yeah it's getting to his head I worry. He's doing well as a left winger otherwise.

He should remember he's scored enough goals in the past not to doubt himself.

This commentary is doing my absolute nut.

She wants to keep speaking and allow no dead air, when anyone worth their salt knows sometimes you have to let the play speak for itself.

Her and Warnock are just playing at it, can't believe their luck they are being asked to commentate on a big team.

Turned up with their list of meaningless stats and determined to make sure they are all ticked off before the final whistle goes.

Birmingham playing it safe after our recent Covid issues, keeping two metres apart from our players at all times.

There you go! A quick 3 second reminder :)

Mahrez looks a much bigger asset to this team when he concentrates on assists, whatever is in his contract we need to cut his goal scoring bonus by 80% and quadruple his assist bonus.

 

[wolviedinho]

Birmingham looking the second half called off due to the return of city 19 :)

We can turn the commentary but why should we ? TV comes with sound, it's not our fault that the bbc can't be arsed to use people that know what they are doing. Her big problem is that she is expecting to throw back to the studio after a 90 second soundbyte, she can't sustain the commentary for longer so that makes it sound disjointed .
