Total control

Palace diving as soon as they lose the ball mason falling for it every time

helped by the drip-drip-drip "tactical fouling City" myth, refs buy it against us far too much for it to be just coincidence

It's been good for the most part with Johnny stones and fern firing it forward at will. Need more from the front men though. Jesus needs to do more than run around putting in a shift.

John Stones, the Nat Lofthouse de nos jours.

imagine this with haaland

i was thinking that, we’ve lofted crosses
in quite a few times which he thrives on

My god this thread is an alternate reality: 5 minutes in and people complaining we're not doing much! Good performance, so far, against every single man behind the ball and hope for a late counter. Wonderful ball by Kev and Stones delivered, showing his growing confidence again.
Good performances from Zinchenko and Gabby, so far, which is nice as Zin was poor in his last appearance and Gabby looked incredibly rusty.
BS has two men on him constantly and I would like to see him go on the outside as he is a little predictable at the moment.

Great control but Walker and Zin giving us a few worries with their passing.

Gabby offering very little and might as well have Foden coming on and playing false nine.

Will we ever see Aguero play for us again? The drop off in quality and threat up front when he is out of the side is huge.

We've had a shitload of games like this with the likes of Aguero, Dzeko, Touré, and many others in the side since the Mancini days. Attackers can't do much against a parked bus.
