I wonder why Stones gets shouted at so much he seems to be playing well... might be because he's the closest to him to get a message across to the other players.

Very efficient display by City this evening. Good early goal and controlled it from there.

However, it seems a village has lost its idiot, as a moron behind us booed Jesús Navas when his name was read out just before kick-off.

We really do have some wankers as fellow supporters.

Reasonable first half. Only 2 goals to show for it though. As per Utd the opposition have pushed 6 up the pitch being virtually 1 on 1 with all our defenders + Fernandinho + Gundogan. As per Utd we now only look slightly the better team and are caught between going for the killer pass and keeping possession doing neither particularly well.

Good so far, but I am a bit disappointed with the empty seats. i was not able to travel yesterday, but could have come tonight. As a relocated City fan, now resident on the south coast, I assumed most would haul their arses from Manchester to the Etihad for the rescheduled game, so didn't expect any chance if a ticket, sadly there are a lot of empty seats from ESPN evidence. So next time we sell out, and get a postponement, please can all the ticket holders shout about their passion for whatever it is on a Wedensday eveining that keeps them away? It pisses me off big time that locals can't be bothered any more.

Yes he has looked very good. There was a post a few weeks ago about which player (if only one) would pep make world class, stones was the obvious choice for me, I can see him becoming one of the very best in the world within 2 seasons under pep.

I would have gone for Alex Garcia and Nacho tbh.

looks like kun coming off according to bt

A precaution I bet, just to ensure that he doesn't aggravate anything

Who's idea was the drum?

The message is for Stones only. He gets bollocked every match because he does many things Pep doesn't like. But Pep is only trying to develop him and push him.

Nice touch from BMG , the club is refunding every fan that has a ticket whether they attend tonight or not

I must be watching a different game as I thought we dominated that half.
