Good point that but we did have 30mins to get the winner! The control second half was a lot better seems Howe had them playing like the scousers do 100mph at us don’t let us rest!

de bruynes pass for the third - megs a guy from about 8 yards

I think this iteration of the side might be the weakest since Pep built the 2017/18 side. The balance doesn’t feel good and we have no depth at all. The importance of the players that have left has been seriously undervalued by the fans IMO.

I still expect we’ll win the league because Liverpool don’t look up to it, but currently this side doesn’t get close to 17/18, 18/19 or 20/21 for me.

We're basically banking on all of our new signings to hit the ground running, and Palmer staying fit and stepping up.

Haaland's goals should smooth our path, but I was hoping we could go to new levels by plugging him into an already established super-team.

On another day. Never mind. Ref bottled it. Pope was outstanding.

Not a red card challenge - no one would've batted an eye if a yellow was given first.
Well done City, great game!

What have we ever done to Hinchcliffe? Is the big chinned tw*t just bitter because he played for us pre takeover? (Not that it is an issue, should be honoured to wear our badge no matter the era)

Reading the match day thread whilst watching the game was an education !!!

Son, thy must never enter the match day thread.

Only Gundogan worth his money today

Bang average.

 

[give it to gordon]

Listening to the pundits wasnt a red card. I still think if a player lunges in both feet of the ground it's a red. Its wasnt two footed but he was of the ground.

An off day for most today but we came home with a point. Hopefully Newcastle will play like this against the top teams but I think not likely. It seemed like their home game in the FA cup third round.
