How many treble winners medals do you get for that?

I got on in post this week :)

The Mrs just asked me why I’m watching a replay of the Palace game !!

Think its been fine over all. They're defending deep and making it as difficult as possible.

Its hot and humid down there and the team is using the match like a preseason game which is the best thing to do.

Sense is not allowed in this thread, blue.

Jings, that was turgid. Would be nice if they’d come out a bit more. Not sure we looked like scoring until a great turn and bit of pace from Nunes led to the goal. Then 2 minutes added on over the 1 minute?

Really think we need to break the bank in January. Tho the players we seem to be linked with are not exactly top tier.

As expected we have had a lot of possession but found it difficult to break them down. We get to the edge of their penalty box, eventually, and then just go from side to side.
Our crossing and shooting leaves a lot to be desired. Nice little dribble from Foden into the box was probably the highlight of the half for me.
Shame for their defender, esp as the cross was nowhere near a City shirt but I'll take that for now.

Gotta be someone they target. I always say I’d love to see these people say to the players to their face what they say from the laziness of their keyboard.

It wouldn’t be the same.

Jack is extremely valuable when they have a lead, it's just that he only has two options when he's on the ball and City need a goal. He either passes it back or cuts inside onto his right foot. You can literally see defenders anticipating him cutting onto his right foot so he never has a lane to shoot. He could create a lot more space for himself if he tried to get behind the defense every now and then.

A valiant effort from the Half Time DJ.

Are we back on jack now then? Hard to keep up these days

City fans love a scapegoat. Remember Corrigan's first spell in the first team? Edghill? Sterling? Mahrez?

Have they mentioned how many slaves died during the building of that stadium yet?

Not yet , but we have our apology ready
