Still think we win this.

I can see us winning this comfortably.

I think we've played well and should be ahead by a couple. Problem, as usual, is that we haven't taken our many chances and they have taken their one shot own target. Simpson-Pusey (goal excepted) has been ok on the whole but not sure why he's starting ahead of Ake.

Bernardo is well below his usual standard today but hard to see who we can replace him with. I'd normally say Gundogan but he's been in even worse form. Savinho has also done nothing really as well and maybe Doku for him could be an option. Foden and Kovacic have been very good and Nunes has been fine.

Reality is that we are by far the better team and if we can just be a bit more clinical, while not giving away much at the back, we should win this.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Nunes has been excellent, brilliant passes, shots, movement, dribbling. One of our best players recently.

Agree. Imagine this comment a month ago, people would think youre on acid

 

[Tevez City]

Savio needs an over lapping RB

 

[ufo]

Akanji is a coward

fuck off

 

[Stoned Rose]

That must’ve taken some finding!

 

[Ric]

Frustrating not to be winning, as that’s the best we’ve played in weeks. Foden in particular has been excellent, which is reassuring to see. Still way too vulnerable defensively though.

 

[blue whippet]

Shame we conceded as we have been playing well. As usual we need far too many chances before scoring and opposing teams need very few before they put one in the net.
Foden has been excellent, at the heart of everything we are doing.
Come on City, a couple of quick goals at the start and we can make our dominance really pay.

I think Haaland needs competition he's got no one in the team that can push him for the striker position. He's a world class striker Haaland but competition helps to improve, Aguero became even better when Jesus was his competition.

Our finishing is garbage. We labour too much, just to score a single goal
