You are quoting a guy who implied I was a bellend, I would pay no heed to him mate

The lad is still learning his trade he will make mistakes. He also has Mahrez Infront of him, hardly the best cover.

Can't help feeling that Haaland would have bagged at least a couple in that first half.

 

[phargrave]

Ortega is an unbelievable keeper. Some of those saves Ederson would never do. And he is calm with his feet and a good last man. Should he start a couple games to see if he can be a better option?

Deffo

I’m just enjoying watching a City game without VAR. Such a rare treat. It’s largely ruined football.

 

[Wafty Cranker]

Not just us, he's picking holes out of them a lot too. He just never seems to see the positive in anything. Always what was bad or what could have been done better.

Summed the twat’s commentary up perfectly there.

It’s annoying as fuck listening to listen to.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Mahrez off for Bernardo or Phillips and gdt Palmer back on the right.

 

[Ilovehappyendings]

Phillips for palmer. Gundo further forward. Need to stop them overrunning our slow midfield

 

[heslops barnet]

Get the Viking on for the penalties…..

Sir Rodney is struggling tonight. Could do with legs around him. Maybe he always does (Bernie)?

Phillips would be a good option in the second half.

Rodri have never been the runner-kind-of-guy. He is a rolls royce player to pick out a pass or bang a goal from 40 yards out, IF he got time on his side. Against high pressing teams, he struggle. It’s been my opinion for years. That’s why someone like Phillips in my opinion would suit us better against teams like Liverpool. Facing a team with a midfield full of hungry legs and speed, Rodri is gone. It’s so so obvious.

 

[SidJames]

What, exactly, is Mahrez’s role in this team?

Forward Sweeper?

At risk of sounding like a Cnut.

I have no idea what he brings to this side.

It is like playing with 10 men he is that bad.
